- Own and drive the annual Radford compensation survey submission and data output analysis.
- Own compensation planning cycles end-to-end, including bonus and merit cycles, using Pave and/or Workday.

- Experience working with compensation survey data (**Radford/Pave** strongly preferred).
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — able to present to and influence senior leadership.
- Comfort operating as both strategist and executor; willing to roll up your sleeves and get things done without a large team beneath you.

- Familiarity with **Pave** and/or **Workday** is a strong plus.
