Level: I3

POSITION SUMMARY

EarnIn is on a mission to build financial products that put people in control of their own money. Our compensation team plays a critical role in making sure we attract, retain, and reward the people who make that mission possible - fairly, transparently, and competitively. We're looking for a Compensation Analyst to join our Total Rewards team. In this role, you'll have direct responsibility for the day-to-day operations of our global compensation and equity programs - from maintaining salary structures and running market analyses to administering equity grants and supporting annual cycles. You'll partner closely with People Partners, Finance, Legal, and our equity platform provider to keep our programs running smoothly and evolving as we scale.
This is a role with real scope and autonomy, suited to someone who can move fluidly between data analysis and clear communication with stakeholders. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship or immigration support for this position. This is a remote role, though it may require travel to our Mountain View HQ a few times a year. The remote base salary range for this full-time position is $113,000-$139,000, plus equity and benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Broad-Based Compensation
  • Maintain and refine global salary bands and job architecture, ensuring alignment with market data and internal equity
  • Conduct ongoing benchmarking using survey sources (e.g., Radford/Aon, Carta, and others) and provide recommendations on pay positioning
  • Support annual merit, promotion, and compensation review cycles - including building tooling, reviewing inputs, and auditing outputs for consistency and equity
  • Partner with People Partners and Talent Acquisition to provide compensation recommendations for new roles, offers, and promotions across all levels and geographies
  • Respond to ad hoc comp questions from leadership and employees, translating data into clear, actionable guidance in alignment with internal pay practices
  • Monitor pay equity across the organization and flag patterns that warrant review

Global Equity Administration
  • Administer equity grants (RSUs, stock options) end-to-end: grant processing, vesting schedules, termination processing, and related equity lifecycle events
  • Serve as the primary liaison with our equity platform (e.g., Carta or equivalent) and internal Finance/Legal teams
  • Maintain data integrity across equity records; reconcile between equity platform and HRIS
  • Support equity-related disclosures, audits, and reporting requirements
  • Support compliance with international equity tax requirements across EarnIn's operating jurisdictions
  • Educate employees on their equity awards; help build resources that make equity understandable across the org
  • Stay current on global equity regulations (particularly in jurisdictions where EarnIn has employees) and flag compliance considerations proactively

Reporting & Operations
  • Build and maintain compensation dashboards and reports that give leadership visibility into spend, distribution, and equity across the organization
  • Support the buildout and improvement of compensation processes and documentation as we scale
  • Partner with PxT Operations and Finance on headcount planning and comp modeling

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
  • 3+ years of demonstrated experience in compensation, total rewards, or a related analytical function (e.g., finance, HR analytics, or consulting)
  • Solid understanding of broad-based compensation principles - salary structures, market pricing, job leveling, and pay equity
  • Proficiency with Excel or Google Sheets, including working with large datasets and building structured models
  • Familiarity with at least one compensation survey methodology (Radford/Aon, Mercer, Compdata, or similar)
  • Strong attention to detail with a track record of catching errors before they become problems
  • Clear, effective communicator who can explain comp decisions to non-specialists
  • Ability to handle sensitive compensation and employee data with appropriate confidentiality
  • Equity administration experience: familiarity with grant processing, vesting schedules, and RSU/option mechanics is a plus.
  • Experience working in a global organization with employees in multiple countries is a plus.
  • Experience with an HRIS (Workday, Rippling, or similar) is a plus.
