About the job
Compa is seeking a Compensation Insights Leader to research market trends, publish insights, and provide guidance to leading compensation teams in the world navigating volatile markets to advance our position as the leader in compensation intelligence technology. This person will report to the Head of Account Management with a dotted line to Compa's co-founder & CEO.
Why this role matters
The world's best technology companies have connected to Compa's network, creating a massive opportunity to shift how compensation teams think about market data.
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 succeed
Lead compensation data research
We've been busy bringing together beachhead customers and building our data network. Doing so has resulted in a wealth of data, waiting to be studied and shared. Your team's insights unlock the value of this data.
Begin with deep analysis of the data already in product today.
Uncover insights working through data and workflow discovery with new customers.
Empower teams cross-functionally by sharing insights across all Compa's channels, including: sales and marketing, prospects and customers, social and web, internal and external
Supply the secrets buried in customers' interactions with the talent market to be amplified by internal partners
Be the first to discover and author secrets like...
AI compensation is rapidly dropping, not increasing
India offer volumes (and salaries) are exploding as tech companies seek to lower costs
Sign-on bonus values are rapidly rising again, but prevalence remains low
These secrets provide priceless value for customers and the Compa brand. As you and your team surfaces them, you become one of the most innovative and influential members of the tech compensation community.
Empower the best comp teams in the world with powerful insights
We've created a foundational structure and process to help customers extract value from Compa's market data products. You help Compa's customers discover what's possible with real-time data.
Demonstrate how strengthening collaboration between Comp and TA tightens market feedback loops and accelerates talent strategy execution
Reveal how tracking emerging hot jobs like AI Engineering leads to smarter decisions on job architecture changes
Support navigating volatility in emerging markets like India and Poland with insights that drive immediate change and impact
Through your ingenuity and effort, you uncover market opportunities, customer stories, and massive ROI. You lead your team in discovering high-value compensation insights, and communicate these findings with consistency and brevity, advancing Compa's position while building trust with customers, partners, and your product team.
Master customer and team collaboration
You cannot succeed alone. Each day you and your team jump from customer calls to sales meetings to engineering standups, playing the role of investigative reporter, data evangelist, and execution partner.
Find fast and crafty ways to mine information, prototype new ideas, and integrate different perspectives.
Your analytical ability, organization, and transparency make customers, engineering, sales, and product smarter while maintaining the speed required for explosive growth.
Proactively find your way into our tools and platforms (Notion, Slack, Mixpanel, Linear, and internal tooling) to communicate asynchronously and implement a few of your own along the way.
Customers and teammates gain clarity from your interactions and output. Because of you, we feel lighter, smarter, more capable, and more confident.

Pay transparency at Compa
Compa is a venture-backed technology company. As such, we have designed our compensation strategy with the purpose of providing you sufficient cash compensation to maintain a comfortable lifestyle, excellent benefits for peace of mind, and strong upside potential in the form of stock options.
Compensation at Compa:
Base salary range: $150,000-$200,000
Stock options range: 0.05%-0.10%

**Compa is an early-stage startup! Do we pay the same as Airbnb or Netflix? No! Are we trying to? No! The value proposition of joining an early startup is fundamentally different, focused on (a) high-risk/high-reward long-term upside and (b) profoundly career-transforming personal growth.**
This range of pay reflects multiple levels; your offer within this range primarily depends on our team's evaluation of your level, which we will communicate transparently with you.
Our team is hybrid-remote in the United States, with offices in Newport Beach, California, and concentrations in Denver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Boston.
