Compensation Analyst

Compa is a venture-backed SaaS startup revolutionizing the future of compensation.

In a dynamic job market with hiring challenges, accountability, and the rise of AI, companies need the best data to stay ahead of industry changes, competition, and costs. Compa has developed the premier real-time compensation data platform, delivering top-tier compensation intelligence to leading enterprise teams.

Compa is a compensation intelligence company built to augment enterprise compensation teams in the era of AI.

Our customers include the world’s biggest companies: Apple, NVIDIA, Tesla, Mastercard, T-Mobile, Sanofi, Moderna, Gilead Sciences, and more.

Compa is seeking a Compensation Analyst to own the technical onboarding of customer compensation data into our products and advance our position as the leader in compensation market intelligence. This person will provide exceptional, data-focused customer service and will report to Compa’s Director of Data Trust.

Why this role matters

The world’s best technology companies purchased Compa in 2024 and 2025, creating a massive opportunity to shift how compensation teams think about market data.

Dozens of customers, thousands of offers, and loads of savvy comp executives require your expertise.

Comp teams believe in Compa’s mission, values, and product, but they represent the brightest (and at times most skeptical) minds in the industry. We need your help serving them.

Success depends on your ability to balance execution and strategy while taking ownership, leading with data, and mastering collaboration.

How you will succeed

Own the Discovery & Validation of Customer Data

You will partner with customers to capture and align their compensation data within our global compensation data model and systems.  Customers and teammates gain clarity from your interactions and output.  Because of you, we build trust, feel lighter, more capable, and more confident.

With your expertise, you will work with the team to: 

• Collect and configure compensation data during data integrations, accelerating customer time to value and developing internal tools for increased data accuracy and scale.

• Find new ways to analyze and validate compensation data while adapting what we’ve already learned.

• Drive exceptional job matching and comp data interpretation and advance our AI-driven technical solutions alongside Compa’s engineering team.

Through your ingenuity and effort, you uncover data tooling enhancements, initiate process improvements and drive overall data quality in our products. You communicate these findings with consistency and brevity, advancing Compa’s position while building trust with customers, partners and your product team.
