O stanowisku

Hi! I’m Rachel and I lead People Operations here at Ashby. I recently joined and I’m excited that we're expanding our team! The People Operations Team provides support to Ashby employees through the development and implementation of programs, policies, and services that contribute to a productive and inclusive working environment. We ensure that the work we do aligns with our Operating Principles https://www.ashbyhq.com/blog/culture/ashbys-operating-principles#operating-principles and strengthens the environment we're building at Ashby. Our approach is to do things differently – we prioritize what truly fits our team and enhances how we work together. By embracing creativity and customization, we aim to create a people-first culture that drives both individual and organizational success.

We review all applications, and there isn’t a benefit to applying quickly. Take your time, look at the application questions and please submit before the application deadline! We aren’t able to take calls outside of the interview process, so reaching out to the team won’t push your application forward.

We’re looking for an experienced Total Rewards leader to build and own Ashby’s total rewards function through our next phase of growth.

This is a builder’s role. Some of the foundation is in place; a lot of it isn’t. You’ll set the philosophy, design the frameworks, build the infrastructure, and run the work day to day. It’s a chance to shape how a company rewards its people rather than…

Benefity i zalety

You bring an analytical first mindset. You build the model, pressure-test your own numbers, and would rather run the analysis yourself than wait for someone else to.

You’re a structured thinker. You take a messy question, break it into the parts that matter, form a hypothesis, and test it — and you can walk someone through your reasoning without losing them.

You’re a creative problem solver in the comp space. When benchmarks are thin or the role is new, you reason from first principles and design the approach that fits the problem and not the one you used last time.

You’re comfortable where some principles are centralized and other elements are tailored by function, and you can keep that flexibility equitable and explainable.

You can support leaders with different needs and viewpoints while holding the line on trust, consistency, and decision quality.

You’re highly effective at both strategy and execution, and comfortable being the primary owner of the work day to day.

You’re an exceptional communicator who can make complex Total Rewards topics land with any audience and can show the reasoning behind a number, not just the number. You’re comfortable putting a recommendation in front of founders and defending it.

You’re detail-oriented and operationally strong, always looking for ways to improve systems, processes, and program quality.

You’ve led or managed others, or you’re excited to build and eventually scale a Total Rewards team.

Experience using automation, AI, and technology to make Total Rewards operations faster, more accurate, and more scalable.

Strong modeling and data skills beyond the standard toolkit including advanced spreadsheet work, SQL, Python, or BI tools.

A background that blends Total Rewards with strategy consulting, corporate finance or FP&A, or people analytics. We value people who have been trained to structure and solve ambiguous problems, wherever they learned to do it.

Experience with tools such as CandorIQ, Pave, and OpenComp.

You want to bring your own Total Rewards playbook and install it at Ashby, rather than reimagine and evolve what’s already been started.

You prefer operating inside highly standardized programs to building and adapting them in a more flexible environment.

You’re less interested in the hands-on work of running the function — including doing the analysis yourself.

You reach for the benchmark before the reasoning, or you need rigid rules to make a call.
