As a Senior Compensation Consultant, you will bring your thought leadership and in-depth knowledge of compensation trends and practices to provide strategic consulting support to internal stakeholders including People & Culture Business Partners and senior leaders.

You provide professional understanding of compensation, total rewards, pay equity, and human resources and use your knowledge to reinforce the design, education and facilitation of compensation programs that support the constantly changing needs of our business landscape.

• Lead on projects through various stages from initial assessment with the business through to implementation (policy design, documenting processes, change management and building out tools and resources)
• Training and educating P&C business partners, leaders and peers on total rewards, compensation philosophy, policies and processes
• Prepare presentations and analyses for executive audiences; outlining results, trends and costings
