Ledger - Compensation & Benefits Specialist – Contractor (6 months)
Requirements
• Requirement • 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 • Excel & Modelling • Advanced Excel is non-negotiable: pivot tables, scenario modelling, audit-proof workbooks, and confident handling of large datasets. • Benchmarking Tools • 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.
