Compensation analyst using data and automation to strengthen pay programs and accuracy.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Compensation Analyst focused on building compensation programs that are accurate, scalable, and market-aligned. At Portillo’s, I partnered with HRBPs, finance, and executives to shape compensation strategy—cutting compensation issue response times by over 40%—and helping drive adoption of a new 2026 salary structure.
I also spearheaded the implementation of Workday Advanced Compensation for ~8,000 employees, ensuring it went live in a production environment without errors. In addition, I created the 2026 job evaluation process that supports the salary structure and helps reduce internal equity concerns.
Previously, I led sales compensation and pricing work at companies including CCC Intelligent Solutions, Cloudflare, and Medline. I optimized Excel/Anaplan workflows, improved calculation accuracy by 30%, resolved multi-year bonus inaccuracies (issuing over $100K in retroactive payments), and supported revenue-impacting accuracy improvements through contract review and reconciliation.
