Your Impact

As the People Analytics and Compensation Lead, you will directly shape how Formlabs scales its most valuable asset—its talent. By architecting a transparent, data-driven compensation system and building a mature people analytics function, your work will serve as the engine behind our global talent strategy. You and your team of 1-2 direct reports will turn workforce data into a single source of truth that guides executive board decisions, builds deep trust with business leaders, and ensures Formlabs remains highly competitive in attracting top-tier innovators worldwide.

What you’ll do:

Compensation system

Own the strategic design and evolution of Formlabs' global compensation system: bands, levels, ranges, philosophy, equity, variable, and operational policies

Continually evaluate and ensure excellent use of benchmark data; ensure benchmark inputs have critical mass and are explainable to non-experts

Design compensation structures for international markets including in EMEA and APAC

Author and maintain the manager-facing compensation philosophy; ensure it can be explained simply and coherently

Partner with the People Business Partners, who own individual compensation recommendations to managers and the business

Partner with Finance on planning cycles, merit cycles, and total comp cost forecasting

People analytics

Own the people scorecard — a finite, durable set of metrics that flow consistently into QORs, board updates, and leadership reporting

Continually improve engagement reporting and ensure it is broadly adopted at all levels of management

Own ad-hoc people analytics projects as needed — team-based diagnostics, benefits analyses, retention, and other targeted analytical work

Recruiting operations and analytics

Work in partnership with Recruiting leadership to continually refine and ensure adoption of actionable recruiting analytics

Partner with the Recruiting team on operational improvements surfaced by the data

About You:

Are a first-principles thinker — you start from the problem and build the right answer, not from a framework and adapt it

Have natural curiosity — are driven to understanding the underlying question, not to complete a project list

Operate by the "think big and simplify" principle — refuse to ship things that cannot be explained simply

Are analytically rigorous; comfortable with ambiguity in data and the judgment calls underneath the numbers

Comfortable with modern data and AI tools — use them as leverage to move with velocity through large data projects

Have high personal standard for credibility — the system has to be trustworthy to managers, employees, and the board

Have strong written communication — can write a compensation philosophy that a skeptical engineering manager will read and trust

Exhibit high ownership; ship durable systems, not project deliverables

5+ years of relevant experience in compensation, total rewards, workforce analytics, or equivalent

Manage a team/direct reports
