- Demonstrated strength in quantitative analysis and modeling, including advanced skills in Google Sheets/Excel (e.g., modeling, scenario analysis, data visualization).
- Experience partnering with HRBPs, Talent Acquisition, and Finance to support comp cycles, offers, promotions, and budgeting.
- Comfort navigating ambiguity and making thoughtful tradeoffs among market alignment, internal equity, performance, and budget.
- Familiarity with Greenhouse, Workday, Pave or Compa a plus
Attributes
- Strategic thinker: Connects compensation decisions to Reddit’s broader business strategy and long‑term talent goals.
- Problem solver: Breaks down complex, ambiguous compensation problems into structured approaches and clear recommendations.

- Smart & adaptable: Learns quickly, iterates based on feedback, and adjusts approaches as Reddit grows and programs evolve.
- Trustworthy & service‑minded: Builds strong, long‑term relationships with stakeholders; is seen as a fair, balanced, and practical partner who protects both employee experience and company sustainability.
