Director Rewards

Position: Director Total Rewards
We are partnering with a high-growth, private-equity-backed organization to identify a Director, Total Rewards who will play a critical role in scaling compensation, benefits, and HR technology during a period of rapid organic growth.

This is a builder role, not a maintenance role. The right leader will be equally comfortable thinking strategically and executing hands-on, partnering closely with the CHRO and senior leadership to modernize Total Rewards infrastructure and drive disciplined, data-driven decision-making.

Why this role stands out

• Maintain and evolve job architecture, salary bands, titles, and career frameworks

• Oversee merit, bonus, and incentive processes, including system configuration and workflows

• Serve as the internal expert and owner of HRIS (Paylocity) for compensation, benefits, and analytics

• Improve data integrity, reporting, dashboards, and leader-facing insights

• Partner on benefits strategy, vendor management, renewals, and compliance (ERISA, ACA, 401(k), etc.)

• Act as a thought partner to HRBPs and executives in a multi-site, hourly + salaried workforce

• Support Total Rewards and HRIS diligence and integration for future growth initiatives

Ideal Background

• 7+ years of progressive experience in Total Rewards / Compensation & Benefits

• Proven experience building or scaling programs in a growing organization

• Strong understanding of compensation design, incentive plans, and job architecture

• Hands-on experience with Paylocity or comparable HRIS platforms
