CONTEXT & PURPOSE OF THE ROLE

The Total Rewards team is entering a high-intensity period: a year-end compensation review cycle, active benchmarking work, custom bonus plan reviews, and a rising volume of analytical deliverables supporting executive and board-level reporting. To protect bandwidth and quality, we are bringing in a mid-level contractor to work closely with and under the supervision of our Paris-based Compensation & Benefits Expert, reporting directly to the Head of Total Rewards. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for someone with genuine C&B grounding who can work with light direction once context is set, and who understands what makes compensation data credible.

WHAT YOU'LL BE WORKING ON

Year-End Compensation Review

- Support data preparation and validation for the annual merit, performance, and bonus review cycles: building and maintaining population files, tracking timelines, and flagging data quality issues before they become problems.

- Work closely with the C&B Expert on modelling and scenario analysis (budget impact, distribution curves, outlier identification), producing clean, auditable outputs.

- Contribute to salary budget modelling and refresh of salary structures using latest market data, including updates to merit matrices.

- Coordinate with HRBPs and People Ops on data collection and sign-off workflows to keep the cycle on track.

Analytical Work for Board & Executive Reporting

- On direction from the Head of Total Rewards, carry out the underlying data pulls, analysis, and cross-checks to populate compensation metrics and summaries used in board and executive slides.

- Produce clean, presentation-ready tables and data panels with accurate footnotes and sourcing, so outputs can be directly incorporated into slide decks.

Bonus Plan Design Reviews

  • This contractor may provide support to the C&B Expert and Head of Total Rewards during bonus plan reviews, including
  • Preparing and updating slide decks to support design discussions.
  • Running employee data analyses and refreshing payout range modelling for plan redesigns.
  • Using AI tools to update bonus plan rules documentation in Word as designs evolve, ensuring plan write-ups accurately reflect agreed changes ahead of final review.

Ad Hoc C&B Support

- Support the C&B Expert on operational tasks: Workday data uploads, equity grant list preparation and validation, and patent premium tracking.

- Support the C&B Expert and Head of Total Rewards on ad hoc projects. Examples may include aspects of job architecture and related market benchmarking analytics, pay equity & equity grant modelling.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Requirement

Experience

4 years+ in Compensation & Benefits or Total Rewards. C&B-specific experience is required; broader HR analytics backgrounds without meaningful C&B exposure will not be considered.

Education

Degree in a quantitative discipline preferred (e.g. Finance, Economics, Statistics, or equivalent).

Excel & Modelling

Advanced Excel is non-negotiable: pivot tables, scenario modelling, audit-proof workbooks, and confident handling of large datasets.

Benchmarking Tools

Hands-on experience with Radford or Mercer Comptryx strongly preferred. Familiarity with the mechanics of job matching and market data interpretation is expected.

Workday

Experience using Workday for compensation cycle management is a strong plus.

Stakeholder Exposure

Experience working with or supporting stakeholders outside France — whether across European markets or globally — is a plus.

Autonomy

Able to work from a defined brief with minimal hand-holding. Asks the right clarifying questions early; doesn't need ongoing supervision once context is clear.

Languages

Fluent English required (working language of the team). French strongly preferred — most day-to-day collaborators are Paris-based.

Tools

Comfort with AI tools (e.g. Claude, Gemini) for document drafting and workflow efficiency is welcome.

WHAT THIS ROLE IS (AND ISN'T)

This is not a strategy or design role — Ledger already has senior expertise in-house for that. What we need is someone who executes cleanly and independently at the analytical and operational level, and who brings enough C&B literacy to produce outputs that don't need to be re-done. You will be working on real, high-stakes deliverables from day one.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
