About the Role

Ramp is entering its next phase of growth—scaling globally, competing for top AI and technical talent, and preparing for the long-term discipline required of a public-ready company. As a Compensation Associate, you’ll help shape the frameworks, insights, and systems that guide how Ramp attracts, motivates, and retains exceptional talent.

You will work directly with Ramp’s Compensation Lead and partner closely with leaders across Finance, Talent, People, and Legal—many with backgrounds from top-tier consulting, private equity, tech or high-growth startups. Your work will influence some of the company’s most important decisions: talent and hiring strategy, performance programs, equity planning, and compensation competitiveness in emerging markets.

This role blends strategic problem-solving with hands-on execution. You’ll build models, pressure-test assumptions, design new approaches, and help run high-stakes processes that must scale as Ramp grows. It’s an ideal role for someone who is analytically exceptional, thrives in high-expectations environments, and wants to develop deep expertise in compensation while operating at the center of a fast-moving business.

What You’ll Do

• Build the analytical backbone of Ramp’s compensation strategy—developing models, insights, and frameworks that guide hiring, performance, and equity decisions.

• Advise cross-functional leaders (Finance, Talent, People, Legal) by translating complex data into clear, actionable recommendations that influence company-wide decisions.

• Support and help run core compensation programs, including promotion cycles, equity refresh planning, and custom compensation structures for high-impact roles.

• Design and improve high-scale workflows and tools, creating models, templates, and lightweight automations that increase accuracy and efficiency as Ramp grows.

• Own high-stakes, end-to-end projects with a blend of strategic problem-solving and detailed execution—operating with speed, rigor, and a strong sense of ownership.

What You Need

• 2–5+ years in strategy consulting, business operations, people analytics, finance, or other analytical/strategy roles.

• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills; mastery of Excel/Sheets modeling.

• Ability to break down ambiguous problems, structure approaches, and execute with speed and rigor.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to simplify complex analysis for non-technical audiences.

• High ownership, low ego, and willingness to work across both high-stakes strategic projects and detailed execution.

• Comfort in fast-changing, high-growth environments where priorities evolve quickly.

• Curiosity about compensation strategy—even if you haven’t worked in it before.

• Ability to work onsite from the New York office (near Madison Square Park) three or more days per week
