To protect bandwidth and quality, we are bringing in a mid-level contractor to work closely with and under the supervision of our Paris-based Compensation & Benefits Expert, reporting directly to the Head of Total Rewards. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for someone with genuine C&B grounding who can work with light direction once context is set, and who understands what makes compensation data credible. #### What You'll Be Working On **Year-End Compensation Review** - Support data preparation and validation for the annual merit, performance, and bonus review cycles: building and maintaining population files, tracking timelines, and flagging data quality issues before they become problems. - Work closely with the C&B Expert on modelling and scenario analysis (budget impact, distribution curves, outlier identification), producing clean, auditable outputs. - Contribute to salary budget modelling and refresh of salary structures using latest market data, including updates to merit matrices. - Coordinate with HRBPs and People Ops on data collection and sign-off workflows to keep the cycle on track.**Analytical Work for Board & Executive Reporting** - On direction from the Head of Total Rewards, carry out the underlying data pulls, analysis, and cross-checks to populate compensation metrics and summaries used in board and executive slides. - Produce clean, presentation-ready tables and data panels with accurate footnotes and sourcing, so outputs can be directly incorporated into slide decks.**Bonus Plan Design Reviews** - This contractor may provide support to the C&B Expert and Head of Total Rewards during bonus plan reviews, includingPreparing and updating slide decks to support design discussions. - Running employee data analyses and refreshing payout range modelling for plan redesigns. - Using AI tools to update bonus plan rules documentation in Word as designs evolve, ensuring plan write-ups accurately reflect agreed changes ahead of final review.**Ad Hoc C&B Support** - Support the C&B Expert on operational tasks: Workday data uploads, equity grant list preparation and validation, and patent premium tracking. - Support the C&B Expert and Head of Total Rewards on ad hoc projects. Examples may include aspects of job architecture and related market benchmarking analytics, pay equity & equity grant modelling. #### What We're Looking For **Requirement** **Experience** 4 years+ in Compensation & Benefits or Total Rewards. C&B-specific experience is required; broader HR analytics backgrounds without meaningful C&B exposure will not be considered. **Education** Degree in a quantitative discipline preferred (e.g. Finance, Economics, Statistics, or equivalent). **Excel & Modelling** Advanced Excel is non-negotiable: pivot tables, scenario modelling, audit-proof workbooks, and confident handling of large datasets. **Benchmarking Tools** Hands-on experience with Radford or Mercer Comptryx strongly preferred. Familiarity with the mechanics of job matching and market data interpretation is expected. **Workday** Experience using Workday for compensation cycle management is a strong plus. **Stakeholder Exposure** Experience working with or supporting stakeholders outside France — whether across European markets or globally — is a plus. **Autonomy** Able to work from a defined brief with minimal hand-holding. Asks the right clarifying questions early; doesn't need ongoing supervision once context is clear. **Languages** Fluent English required (working language of the team). French strongly preferred — most day-to-day collaborators are Paris-based. **Tools** Comfort with AI tools (e.g. Claude, Gemini) for document drafting and workflow efficiency is welcome. #### What This Role Is (and Isn't) This is not a strategy or design role — Ledger already has senior expertise in-house for that. What we need is someone who executes cleanly and independently at the analytical and operational level, and who brings enough C&B literacy to produce outputs that don't need to be re-done. You will be working on real, high-stakes deliverables from day one. --- Source: Ledger's own career page, read by RemJobs.
