Director, Total Rewards, Systems & Analytics Remote role for candidates located in HackerOne's San Francisco Bay, CA Austin, TX or Seattle, WA hiring hubs Position Summary Compensation, benefits, systems, and analytics are how a company keeps its promises to the people who build it — and at HackerOne, you'll own all four. As Director, Total Rewards, Systems & Analytics, you'll design how we pay, reward, and understand our global workforce, turning a fast-scaling People function into one that runs on trusted data and durable systems.

In this role, you'll lead the Total Rewards, People Systems, and People Analytics department and set the multi-year strategy for compensation, benefits, HRIS (Workday), and workforce reporting. You'll translate company strategy into departmental goals, own org design and hiring within your teams, and partner closely with Finance, Legal, and the executive team on pay equity, annual compensation cycles, board-ready workforce metrics, and the systems roadmap that makes all of it scale. Along the way, you'll develop the managers and specialists on your teams into the next generation of People leaders.

Lead and grow the Total Rewards, People Systems, and People Analytics teams, shaping the department's structure through scalable systems, strategic delegation, and people development — Multiplying Your Impact by developing managers and specialists into future People leaders and representing the function in cross-org forums.
