Cssmerge Senior Compensation Business Partner at Atoms responsible for compensation strategy and execution across 30+ countries. Leads design and deployment of compensation data products and builds international compensation strategies.
Responsibilities
Atoms is hiring a Senior Compensation Business Partner to support compensation strategy and execution for a company scaling across 30+ countries and multiple distinct business lines. You'll report to the Head of Compensation and act as a senior strategic partner to senior business leaders and HRBP leadership - owning how we think about and operate compensation programs for some of our most complex and highest-visibility client groups.
You'll operate with significant autonomy - using data, judgment, and strong business partnership to deliver compensation solutions tailored to Atoms rather than defaulting to generic best practice.
This role suits someone who is mission driven, resilient, and thrives in a fast-paced environment.
Partner deeply with Business Unit leaders and HRBPs to understand their talent needs and organizational dynamics, translating those insights into compensation recommendations that support our organizational goals.
Lead end-to-end planning and execution of core compensation programs (e.g. annual compensation cycles, promotion cycles).
Set the roadmap for compensation data products - decide what products get built next, and lead their design and deployment
Push an AI-first approach across the team - identify where agents and automation should replace manual analysis so the team spends more time on strategic problems and less on manual analysis
Build and own international compensation strategy for client groups spanning multiple countries, adapting U.S.-built frameworks to local market realities and regulatory requirements
Support cross-functional teams through organizational change and transformation.
Partner with HRIS and Total Rewards Operations to ensure operational excellence and data integrity across systems (e.g., Workday)
