This is the senior Total Rewards presence at RMI. The function is being built and this person will serve as its architect; an experienced individual contributor with full functional accountability for compensation, benefits, LOA policy, and people analytics.

Responsibilities

Compensation Strategy & Administration

• Own, lead, and evolve RMI’s global compensation strategy, including salary structure design, pay equity framework, job leveling, and the annual compensation cycle.

• Translate data into actionable insights and leadership presentations; partner with Finance on headcount modeling and workforce-planning scenarios.

Functional Leadership & Partnership

• Own and lead the Total Rewards function end to end — setting strategy, standards, and priorities across compensation, benefits, LOA policy, and people analytics, and driving outcomes through cross-functional partnership rather than direct authority.

• Partner with the Sr. Manager, Talent & Performance on analytics deliverables that support workforce planning, talent review, and performance management decision-making.

• Experience with FMLA and state leave policy; comfort with LOA frameworks and third-party administrator management.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex compensation and benefits information to all levels.

• Demonstrated ability to own a function independently and drive outcomes through influence rather than direct authority; experience partnering with specialists and analysts on execution while retaining full accountability for the work.

• Experience building or maintaining compensation and benefits analytics, including pay equity reporting, salary benchmarking, and benefits utilization data, and translating insights into actionable recommendations for senior leaders.

• Experience owning and leading compensation survey participation (Radford, Mercer, Birches, or comparable) and translating market data into pay recommendations and job architecture decisions.

• Strong interpersonal awareness, collaboration, and coaching skills; skilled navigator of differences to build inclusive processes.

• Experience with Workday compensation and benefits modules, including system configuration and reporting.

• Experience owning and conducting pay equity analyses, including statistical review and remediation planning.

• Experience with international compensation structures — EOR models, developing market pay practices, and multi-currency compensation management.

• Experience with benefits open enrollment including plan design, employee communications, and coordination with system administration teams.

• Experience with energy, climate, or mission-driven organizations.

• Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, Finance, or related field.
