## Job Description

## What You'll Do
- Lead high-priority compensation and equity projects from problem definition through analysis, recommendation, stakeholder alignment, and execution.
- Build analytical models and decision frameworks for compensation bands, equity grants, refresh programs, promotion cycles, retention offers, international compensation, incentive structures, and executive-level scenarios.
- Partner with leaders across People, Talent, Finance, Legal, Sales, Product, Engineering, and executive leadership to translate complex compensation questions into clear, practical recommendations.
- Help run and improve major company-wide compensation processes, including merit cycles, promotion cycles, equity refreshers, offer governance, and special compensation reviews.
- Develop tools, templates, dashboards, and workflows that make compensation decisions faster, more accurate, and more consistent as Ramp grows.
- Use AI to remove manual work from the compensation function: pulling relevant context, flagging exceptions, drafting decision materials, and automating repeatable analysis.
- Pressure-test compensation and equity philosophy against market data, hiring needs, retention risk, budget constraints, and internal equity.

## What You Need
- 4-8 years of experience in business operations, corporate strategy, consulting, finance, people strategy, total rewards, or another analytical operating role.
- Exceptional analytical and structured problem-solving skills, including strong Excel / Google Sheets modeling.
- Experience building executive-facing analyses, operating models, decision memos, or board-level materials.
- Practical AI fluency.
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
- High emotional intelligence and discretion.
- Low ego, high ownership, strong business judgment, and real interest in compensation, equity, talent markets, and how people systems shape company performance.
- Ability to work onsite from Ramp's New York office three or more days per week.

## Nice to Have
- Experience in a client service, strategy, finance, or operating environment where you owned complex workstreams and advised senior stakeholders.
- Experience in compensation, equity, total rewards, people analytics, workforce planning, sales compensation, or executive compensation.
- Experience at a high-growth technology company, fintech company, or late-stage private company.
- Familiarity with SQL, Python, or lightweight automation tools.
