o Support annual compensation cycle work such as salary reviews, bonus modeling, and payout calculations for consultant-led engagements.
o Ensure incentive program recommendations align with client goals and are clearly communicated through internal deliverables.
- 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.
