Full Job Description
Job Summary

As a Solutions Consultant, Compensation Data & Insights, your primary responsibility is to help customers understand, trust, and apply compensation data to real business decisions. You partner with our go-to-market organization to help customers evaluate the best data fits for them while clearly articulating how Payscale's compensation data supports accurate, defensible, and equitable pay outcomes.

This role is for someone who is fluent in compensation data, benchmarking logic, survey methodology, Payscale's unique data set and market pricing conversations-and who can translate that expertise into clear executive-level insight.

What You'll Do
  • Compensation Advisory
    • Support conversations focused on how customers price jobs, benchmark roles, manage internal equity, and respond to market movement
    • Diagnose data quality issues, coverage gaps, and confidence challenges in existing compensation approaches
    • Advise customers on appropriate data sets and market pricing strategies based on role scope, geography, industry, and maturity

    Compensation Data Expertise
    • Explain compensation data methodology, sources, sample sizes, aging, cuts, and reliability with clarity and credibility
    • Help customers interpret market ranges, percentiles, and trends to support their ideal compensation strategy
    • Compare and contextualize different compensation data approaches (Payscale's data, third party surveys, blended sources, modeled data)

    Insight & Value Storytelling
    • Translate compensation data into narratives that resonate with HR, Finance, and executive stakeholders
    • Tie market insights to business outcomes such as attraction, retention, pay equity, and cost management
    • Help customers move from reactive pricing to more proactive, data-informed compensation decisions

    Pre-Sales Partnership
    • Partner with Account Managers, Account Executives and our Customer facing organization to support the data side of deal strategy, technical validation, and executive discussions
    • Tailor conversations to customer maturity-from foundational benchmarking to advanced market strategy
    • Support customer evaluation processes with clear, defensible data positioning

What We're Looking For
  • 4-7+ years of experience in compensation, compensation consulting, survey analytics, or data-driven advisory roles
  • Deep understanding of compensation benchmarking, job pricing, and market data interpretation
  • Strong ability to explain data concepts to non-technical audiences without oversimplifying
  • Comfort engaging with senior HR, Total Rewards, and Finance leaders
  • Experience influencing decisions through insight and credibility

Nice to Have
  • Background in compensation surveys, consulting firms, or labor market analytics
  • Familiarity with statistical concepts related to market data (percentiles, distributions, aging)
  • Experience supporting enterprise-level compensation programs
  • Prior exposure to pre-sales or customer-facing advisory roles

What Success Looks Like
  • Customers trust Payscale's compensation data and understand how to apply it to their pay decisions
  • Buyers view you as a compensation expert, not a product expert
  • Conversations shift from tool comparisons to data confidence and decision quality
  • Deals close with strong executive alignment around compensation strategy

Location

Payscale has an employee centric remote-first model that provides you the flexibility to do your best work in a space that supports you, while also finding time to collaborate in person for the moments that matter.

In our remote-first model, employees can work from the location that works best for them. We do not have centralized corporate offices. Employees can choose to work from home, in company-paid co-working spaces, or any combination of the two that best suits their unique needs.

If you work from home, we recommend ensuring that you can meet the following technology, equipment and workspace requirements:
  • High-Speed Internet - A stable broadband or fiber connection (satellite is highly discouraged) with a minimum speed of 100 Mbps in a dedicated workspace that has a reliable Wi-Fi signal.
  • Device for Multifactor Authentication (MFA/2FA) - smartphone, tablet, etc.

When it matters (usually no more than a few times a year) we take the time to gather for in-person events.

Payscale has employees across the US, Canada, UK, The Philippines and Romania however we are currently unable to hire in the Quebec Province, Northern Ireland, and Hawaii.
