The successful candidate will work heavily with data integrity, compensation tools, and reporting, including Power BI dashboards for salary offers and compensation movement, intake tools for salary requests and evaluations, and market survey submissions and analysis. Day to day, this individual will be analyzing year over year competitive analysis, data, developing data visualizations from their finding to provide concise recommendations.
