About Juniper Square

Our mission is to unlock the full potential of private markets. Privately owned assets like commercial real estate, private equity, and venture capital make up half of our financial ecosystem yet remain inaccessible to most people. We are digitizing these markets, and as a result, bringing efficiency, transparency, and access to one of the most productive corners of our financial ecosystem. If you care about making the world a better place by making markets work better through technology – all while contributing as a member of a values-driven organization – we want to hear from you.

Juniper Square offers employees a variety of ways to work, ranging from a fully remote experience to working full-time in one of our physical offices. We invest heavily in digital-first operations, allowing our teams to collaborate effectively across 27 U.S. states, 2 Canadian Provinces, India, Luxembourg, and England. We also have physical offices in San Francisco, New York City, Mumbai and Bangalore for employees who prefer to work in an office some or all of the time.

About Your Role

We are looking for an experienced Compensation Analyst to join our Total Rewards team. This role applies acquired job skills and detailed compensation knowledge to complete substantive, complex assignments. We’re looking for a team member who is comfortable working autonomously and managing self-directed projects. You will act as a subject matter expert and internal consultant to People Business Partners and managers on a variety of compensation topics, from job architecture to pay equity. Your primary focus will be on administering, analyzing, and maintaining the company’s compensation programs to ensure internal equity and external market competitiveness.

What You’ll Do

  • Annual Program Execution: Assist in the critical preparation, analysis, and execution of annual compensation programs, including the merit review cycle, annual incentive plans, equity and short-term variable programs.
  • Consulting and Advisory: Serve as a compensation contact for People Business Partners and managers, providing guidance on pay decisions, promotions, new hire offers, and policy interpretation for moderately complex issues.
  • Job Architecture Management: Administer and maintain the company’s global/local job architecture and salary structures. Evaluate job positions to write, revise, and maintain accurate job descriptions, ensuring consistency in grading and titling.
  • Compliance & Reporting: Ensure compensation programs and practices are compliant with local laws. Prepare various compensation reports and conduct internal audits to ensure data integrity and consistent application of policies.

Qualifications

Required Skills & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Finance, or a related field.
  • 4-7 years of progressive compensation experience, including direct and substantial experience working within a high-growth technology organization.
  • Demonstrated ability to leverage compensation, particularly complex equity instruments, to attract and retain high-demand technical talent in a rapid-scaling environment.
  • Advanced proficiency in Google Sheets/Microsoft Excel (e.g., pivot tables, VLOOKUP, complex formulas, modeling).
  • Proven experience assisting with administration of annual compensation cycles (merit, bonus, or incentive plans).
  • Demonstrated ability to perform independent market pricing and job evaluations.
  • Global Experience: Experience with compensation practices in multiple geographic regions.

Preferred Skills

  • Certified Compensation Professional (CCP) designation is highly desirable.
  • Consulting acumen: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain complex compensation concepts to non-specialists.
  • Project Management: Proven ability to manage moderate-scope projects from initiation through completion.
