  • Compliance & Best Practice Advisory
o  Provide A&A consultants with insights on pay transparency, pay equity legislation, and compensation compliance requirements. o  Stay up to date on compensation trends, legislative changes, and industry best practices, and translate insights into actionable recommendations for consulting teams. o  Support the development of compensation communication materials and frameworks used in client deliverables.
  • Data Analysis & Reporting
o  Create compensation dashboards, analytics, and models to support A&A project work. o  Conduct compensation cost modeling and forecasting for consultants to use in workforce planning or organizational design recommendations. o  Analyze data and prepare insights related to market competitiveness, turnover, and compensation trends.   Qualifications:
