Compensation Lead

Join Plaid as a Compensation Lead, where you will design, manage, and evolve the company's compensation strategy. You will own compensation support for specific client groups, lead the configuration and rollout of annual and mid-year compensation cycles, and manage Plaid's compensation systems. This role offers a competitive salary, comprehensive health benefits, and various lifestyle perks.

• Assurer le soutien en matière de compensation pour des groupes de clients spécifiques, en veillant à la rapidité et à l'exactitude des offres, des promotions et des questions des gestionnaires.
• Diriger la configuration et le déploiement des cycles de compensation annuels et semestriels dans Workday et les outils de compensation.
• Gérer et maintenir les systèmes de compensation de Plaid, y compris Compa, Pave et les outils d'enquête externes.
• Strong analytical skills — you build and own complex models, not just populate templates
• Hands-on experience owning or co-owning a compensation cycle (YE or mid-year)
• Systems fluency — comfortable in at least one comp tool (Workday, Compa, Pave, or equivalent)
• RSU/equity experience — you understand how equity comp works and can explain it clearly
• Benchmarking experience: job matching, survey submissions, competitive analysis
• 5–8+ years of experience in compensation or total rewards
• Nice to have: private/pre-IPO experience, EPD client support, Plaid tech stack familiarity
• We encourage you to apply to a role even if your experience doesn't fully match the job description. We are always looking for team members that will bring something unique to Plaid!
