Use AI and automation tools to improve data quality checks, documentation, and routine HR and compensation reporting.
Ensure predictive analytics and AI frameworks comply with applicable data privacy requirements and emerging pay transparency expectations.

Conduct analysis on GDLS-C’s compensation programs using the latest market data survey results.
Prepare recommendations on salary structures and incentive award planning to attract and retain talent within budget.

Minimum 3–5 years of related experience in data-driven roles (e.g., analytics, reporting, or business intelligence), preferably including HR or workforce analytics.
Strong analytical skills and comfort working with data; able to structure analyses, interpret results, and explain findings clearly.
Proficiency in Excel (e.g., pivot tables, formulas); experience with BI/visualization tools such as Power BI.
Experience or interest in generative AI tools to improve efficiency
Strong communication skills and ability to work with both HR and stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with compensation and total rewards concepts and apply them in a data-driven way.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses.
