Compensation Analyst

The Compensation Analyst, reporting to the Director of HR, supports the development, implementation, and ongoing administration of the company’s compensation programs and infrastructure. This role is responsible for market pricing, job evaluation, salary range development, job architecture, internal equity analysis, geographic compensation analysis, and compensation modeling to help maintain competitive, consistent, and scalable compensation practices as the company grows. 

Operating in a fast-growing manufacturing organization with employees across 27+ states and manufacturing operations in four states with continued expansion anticipated, the Compensation Analyst will help build scalable and consistent compensation practices that support continued growth while recognizing differences in labor markets, job requirements, organizational levels, and geographic locations.

The Compensation Analyst will work closely with the Director of HR, Leadership, HR team, and Talent to evaluate positions, develop and maintain job descriptions, establish appropriate compensation ranges, analyze relationships between positions and incumbents, and provide data-driven compensation analysis and recommendations to support company compensation decisions. While this is a remote position, occasional travel (approximately once per quarter) to our corporate headquarters in Reno, Nevada, is required for team collaboration and strategic planning.
