• Prepare and audit compensation and promotion letters, checking figures, templates, and employee data before release.

Stakeholder support

• Respond to HRBP and employee queries on compensation and benefits, with guidance from the manager.

• Handle confidential employee data with discretion and integrity.

Required Qualifications

• Pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor's or Master's degree in HR, Business Administration, Finance, Economics, Statistics, or a related field (MBA/PGDM in HR preferred).

• Prior internship or project experience in compensation and benefits, total rewards, or HR operations.

• Strong working knowledge of Excel or Google Sheets, including lookup and reference functions (XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH), conditional logic, SUMIFS/COUNTIFS, text and date functions, pivot tables, data validation, and basic charting.

• Strong attention to detail and comfort working with numbers and confidential data.

• Clear written and verbal communication.

Good to Have

• Familiarity with compensation concepts: CTC structures, pay bands and ranges, compa-ratio, merit matrices, variable pay, and equity.

• Exposure to HRIS or compensation tools (Workday, Darwinbox, or similar) and market survey data.

• Basic knowledge of Indian statutory benefits (PF, ESI, gratuity, NPS) or US benefits (401(k), health insurance).

• Experience with Google Apps Script, Power Query, or basic SQL.

• Interest in HR analytics and process automation.

What You'll Learn

• End-to-end appraisal cycle management in a multi-country environment

• How compensation committees and approval cases are built and defended
