[Hiring] Manager / Senior Manager, Total Rewards & Key Projects @Alpaca

Role Description

We are looking for a Total Rewards leader who is deeply fluent in compensation and equally energized by the analytical, cross-functional work that comes with building a growing company. This is a hands-on Manager / Senior Manager role. Compensation is the center of gravity, not the whole job. You will own core Total Rewards work across a global, remote workforce, and you will also take on high-impact People work including:

• Headcount planning
• People budgeting
• M&A from a People / Total Rewards lens
• Other analytical projects that sit outside a traditional TR box

You will work across regions, entities, and time zones — not as a single-country specialist. You will partner closely with People, Recruiting, Finance, and business leaders. You will be the person others come to for clean data, sound judgment, and a clear recommendation.

The level (Manager vs. Senior Manager) will be determined by the depth of your experience and the scope you are ready to own.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of Total Rewards, compensation, or closely related People analytics/operations experience
• Strong compensation craft: job architecture, market pricing, ranges, offer support, pay decisions, and cycle execution
• Experience managing multiple compensation data sets and surveys
• Hands-on experience implementing and/or serving as a primary operator of a compensation platform
• Working knowledge of benefit structures across multiple countries
• Proven partnership with Recruiting
• Ability to own headcount planning and people budgeting
• High analytical fluency
• Experience working across global locations and time zones
• Sound judgment and discretion with sensitive pay, offer, and employee data
• Builder energy
• Ability to overlap with West Coast working hours on a regular basis

Requirements

• Own day-to-day compensation programs across a global, remote workforce
• Partner with leaders on offers, promotions, leveling, and pay decisions
• Build and maintain job architecture
• Price roles and refresh ranges using multiple market data sources
• Run or support compensation cycles
• Implement, configure, and support compensation platforms and related tools
• Advise on global benefit structures
• Support pay equity, pay transparency, and related compliance work
• Prepare clear materials for People leadership, Finance, and business stakeholders
• Support Recruiting with timely, usable data
• Maintain job ID integrity as requisitions are opened, backfilled, and re-leveled
• Own or partner on headcount planning with Finance and business leaders
• Run scenario work as the company grows or changes shape
• Support M&A from a People / Total Rewards perspective
• Lead and contribute to People projects that sit adjacent to Total Rewards
• Partner across time zones with teammates, vendors, and leaders in multiple countries

Benefits

• Competitive Salary & Stock Options
• Health Benefits
• New Hire Home-Office Setup: One-time USD $500
• Monthly Stipend: USD $150 per month via a Brex Card
