Overview:

We are looking for an HRIS & Compensation Analyst who will split their time roughly 50% on HRIS systems and 50% on global compensation / total rewards initiatives. This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role: you’ll be part of an international HR team, help design and maintain compensation programs across geographies while ensuring our HRIS operates reliably, securely, and supports business needs.

You will work closely with HR Business Partners, Payroll, IT/Tech, and external vendors, serving as a bridge between strategy and execution.

Responsibilities:

HRIS / Systems

- Integrate data from diverse sources (spreadsheets, external vendor systems, legacy systems) into the HRIS, ensuring data integrity and alignment.

- Lead configuration, testing, upgrades, and user acceptance testing (UAT) for HRIS enhancements or modules.

- Design and deliver training, user documentation, and communication plans to drive adoption and proficiency.

- Own back‑end configuration: security roles, access permissions, workflow logic, reports, and system settings.

- Act as a liaison with payroll, IT, HR, and external providers, coordinating data flows, issue resolution, and system health.

- Manage user access and security governance to ensure compliance with privacy, audit, and internal controls.

- Stay current with HRIS vendor updates, new modules, and best practices; propose and lead continuous improvements.

- Troubleshoot and elevate system issues, monitor integrations, and ensure operational stability.

Compensation / Total Rewards

- Lead job evaluation and benchmarking activities to ensure roles are competitive in external markets and internally equitable.

- Build, maintain, and govern the job architecture (levels, bands, job families) to ensure consistency both vertically (career progression) and horizontally (across functions).

- Conduct salary surveys, market data analysis, and trend monitoring to inform compensation decisions.

- Drive pay equity programs and initiatives, particularly for Québec under the Loi sur l’équité salariale / pay equity regime administered by CNESST (i.e. perform pay equity exercises, audits, maintain compliance, file employer declarations).

- Partner with HR business partners and leadership to advise on compensation decisions, promotions, salary adjustments, and total rewards strategies.

- Analyze compensation programs’ effectiveness, prepare dashboards and reports (e.g. comp spend, internal equity gaps, comp vs. market).

- Support administration or oversight of Canadian benefits and pension plans (vendor coordination, data verification, employee inquiries).

Qualifications and Skills:

- Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, Finance, or related discipline (or equivalent experience).

- 3–5+ years of direct experience in compensation analysis, HRIS administration, or a hybrid role preferably within a multi‑country or global environment.

- Strong analytical skills — able to interpret data, model scenarios, work with large datasets.

- Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookup functions, modeling).

- Experience with one or more global HRIS systems ideally managing multi‑regional configurations and data governance.

- Strong understanding of international HR processes, data privacy (GDPR, PIPEDA), and cross‑border reporting requirements.

- Familiarity with Canadian benefits, pension plans, and vendor coordination.

- Effective communicator who can explain technical/complex topics to non‑technical stakeholders.

- Project management capability. Able to manage multiple workstreams, deadlines, and dependencies.

- Detail‑oriented and quality‑driven, especially with data and system integrity.

- Comfortable working in ambiguity and evolving environments; proactive, resourceful, and collaborative.
