Compensation Lead

Join Perplexity as a Compensation Lead, where you'll build and execute the company's compensation function. You'll assess existing practices, develop salary ranges, own day-to-day compensation decisions, design and run compensation reviews, inform leadership decisions, address inconsistencies, build user-friendly processes, and manage data and tools. The ideal candidate will have technical compensation depth, the ability to influence decisions, strong analytical judgment, discretion and clear communication, experience building compensation programs, and independent, hands-on execution skills.

Discretion and clear communication: You handle sensitive information carefully and explain compensation decisions in language that recruiters, managers, and employees can understand

Independent, hands-on execution: You can set priorities, build a workable process, and manage urgent requests without losing progress on longer-term work. You're comfortable being both the person designing the program and the person checking the data

Responsibilities

• Construire la fonction de compensation de l'entreprise, en développant des programmes et des processus qui soutiennent l'embauche, la reconnaissance et la rétention des employés.
• Établir des fourchettes salariales et des benchmarks de marché, en établissant une approche cohérente pour évaluer les rôles dans l'ensemble de l'organisation.
• You should be comfortable moving between program design and an individual offer, building longer-term structure while keeping today's decisions moving
• Ability to influence decisions: You can turn analysis into a clear recommendation, discuss trade-offs with leadership, and constructively challenge an approach that isn't working

Requirements

• Strong analytical judgment: You can build and audit models, reconcile imperfect data, and explain your assumptions. You know when a benchmark is a useful comparison and when it misses the role

Pay

• Prendre des décisions quotidiennes en matière de compensation, en étant le partenaire principal pour les offres, les promotions, les ajustements de salaire et les questions de compensation.
• Technical compensation depth: Hands-on experience with market pricing, salary ranges, cash and equity programs, compensation reviews, and individual pay recommendations
• USD 150,000 - 230,000

Benefits

• Experience building compensation programs: You've established or substantially rebuilt compensation frameworks and processes with limited infrastructure, and stayed accountable for running them after launch
