- Maintain and extend job architecture, including job families, leveling, and salary ranges, within the framework set by Total Rewards leadership. Build new structures where gaps exist.
- Run key workstreams of the annual comp cycle, from data prep and budget modeling through manager support, execution, and rollout.
- Build financial and comp models, dashboards, and analyses that lead to clear recommendations.
- Provide modeling and grant-sizing analysis to support equity program decisions.

- Strong modeling skills in Excel or Google Sheets, plus experience with compensation survey data (e.g., Radford, Mercer, Pave, or comparable).
- Clear communicator who can explain trade-offs to partners, leaders, and make complex programs clear for employees.
- Comfortable working remotely with core collaboration hours in Central Time.
Preferred
- Total rewards experience in healthcare, telehealth, or healthcare services.
