As the company continues to grow, they’re creating a strategic individual contributor role that will partner directly with senior HR leadership to shape compensation strategy while influencing the future of Total Rewards.

If you enjoy asking questions, analyzing data, benchmarking against the market, and bringing thoughtful recommendations that drive business decisions, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

Compensation will be the primary focus of this role, with opportunities to broaden your expertise across Total Rewards.

You’ll partner with senior leadership to:

  • Lead compensation benchmarking, market pricing, and salary structure analysis

  • Analyze market trends and ensure competitive, equitable pay practices
  • Design and administer incentive compensation programs, including sales incentive plans, bonus programs, and profit-sharing initiatives

Our Ideal Profile

A Senior Compensation Analyst ready to take the next step into broader compensation strategy while expanding exposure to benefits and Total Rewards.

Also Worth Considering

An experienced HR Manager or HR Business Partner from a mid-sized organization who has developed significant compensation and benefits expertise and is looking to specialize more deeply in Total Rewards.

Regardless of title, you’ll likely bring:

  • Strong experience in compensation analysis, market benchmarking, and salary administration
  • Experience supporting incentive compensation, bonus, commission, or sales compensation programs
  • Excellent analytical and financial acumen with advanced Excel skills

  • Experience supporting benefits programs is highly valued
  • Value being onsite every day to build trust and collaboration

This isn’t a role where you’ll simply maintain existing programs.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Influence compensation strategy across the organization
  • Partner directly with an experienced Total Rewards leader who values collaboration and fresh ideas
  • Expand your expertise beyond compensation into broader Total Rewards
  • Work for a financially strong, people-first organization with an outstanding reputation
  • Join a culture that values continuous improvement, innovation, and long-term employee investment

Position Highlights

  • Target compensation: Approximately $150,000 base (depending on experience)
  • Strategic individual contributor role (no direct reports)
  • Hybrid collaboration with an expectation of 4–5 days per week onsite West of the Twin Cities 
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Opportunity for long-term career growth within a highly respected organization

  • Type: Direct Hire
  • Job #52923

Senior Business Systems Analyst (Minnesota, hybrid)

  • Type: Direct Hire
  • Job #52918

SkyWater has partnered with a mid-sized manufacturer and a regulated, global footprint that is hiring a senior contributor to sit inside its Corporate and Operations Applications team, focused on Finance. This is not a requirements-only role. You will own small to mid-size Finance projects from initiation through hypercare, including solution selection, risk management, and stakeholder communication, while also functioning as the go-to resource for the Finance business users on the company’s ERP environment.

Onsite 3 to 4 days a week in the Twin Cities area.
