[Hiring] Compensation Lead @Smarsh

Role Description

The Opportunity: Pure Tech Heart, Enterprise Muscle

Let’s be real: finding a "pure tech" compensation role while living in the Eastern or Central time zone usually means compromise. You’re often stuck as the lone wolf while the decisions and the culture happen three hours behind you. Not here. At Smarsh, we’re breaking the "Pacific Coast only" mold.

• Our CEO, CHRO, and many of our top executives are based right here on the East Coast.
• No more 9:00 PM "West Coast hours" meetings.
• A leadership team that operates in your rhythm.

We aren't just another startup; we are the backbone of the financial world, counting the majority of the world’s largest banks as our customers. We have the stability of an industry leader, but we’re currently in hyper-growth mode with a mission to double our business in the next few years. We’re doing this by infusing our platform with next-gen AI intelligence to revolutionize data management.

This is your chance to get your foot in the door at a scaling tech firm where the stability is high, but the growth ceiling is nonexistent. In this role, you will report directly to our Head of Global Compensation, ensuring your work has a straight line to our global strategy and leadership.

What You’ll Be Doing (The "Fun" Version of Comp)

• AI-Powered Productivity: Leverage AI tools to identify process improvements, automate tedious data cleaning, and find productivity gains.
• The Growth Architect: Ensure our job architecture and pay scales are robust enough to handle a massive global expansion.
• The Radford Whisperer: Own the Radford cycle end-to-end, architecting our market positioning.
• Market Trendsetter: Perform deep-dive benchmarking to ensure we’re winning the talent war for the best AI, engineering, and GTM minds in the industry.
• Cycle Conductor: Lead the annual merit, bonus, and equity process, partnering with Finance to ensure our budget supports our aggressive growth goals.

Qualifications

• A Tech-Savvy Analyst: 5+ years in the comp world, ideally in high-growth tech.
• AI Enthusiast: Proactive about using AI tools to find efficiencies and analyze datasets.
• A Radford Pro: Capable of submitting a Radford survey with ease.
• An Excel Wizard: Proficient in XLOOKUPs, Index/Match, and Pivot Tables.
• A Clear Communicator: Able to explain "comp logic" to non-comp individuals.
• Comfortable in the "Grey": Thrives in ambiguity and enjoys building in a dynamic environment.

Benefits

• Work with a world-class team that understands the strategic value of compensation.
• Competitive salary and annual bonus, tech-forward equity programs.
• A chance to be part of a historic growth phase.

Salary

$135,000 - $155,000 a year. The above salary range represents Smarsh's good faith and reasonable estimate of the range of possible base compensation at the time of posting. Any applicable bonus programs will be discussed during the recruiting process.
