About the Role
A fast-growing, Series D/E AI and legal technology company is hiring a Compensation Business Partner to join its People team. In this high-visibility role, you'll work directly with leaders across the Engineering, Product & Design (EPD) organization on all things compensation — helping the company attract, engage, and retain world-class talent in one of the most competitive markets in tech.
You'll serve as the go-to advisor for executives, hiring managers, and recruiters, ensuring compensation programs are competitive, equitable, and clearly understood. This is a hybrid role based in either San Francisco, CA or New York City, NY, with at least three days per week in-office to stay closely embedded with EPD teams.

Enable Recruiting: Partner with recruiters to build compelling, market-aligned offers that help land top candidates; provide training, tools, and coaching so recruiters and hiring managers can confidently discuss compensation and equity.
-
Drive Market Insights: Analyze compensation data to set and refine salary and equity ranges, keeping programs competitive and grounded in current market intelligence.

Design & Manage Programs: Support the design and ongoing administration of compensation programs — including salary bands, equity grants, and bonus structures — tailored to a high-growth technology environment.
-
Simplify Complexity: Translate compensation data and program details into clear, actionable guidance for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
