Engine Director, Total Rewards at Engine leads compensation, benefits, and equity strategy to attract and retain top talent. This role anticipates AI-driven workforce changes and evolves compensation philosophy accordingly.
Responsibilities
Engine is scaling fast and raising its talent bar. We need a Total Rewards leader who treats rewards as a strategic lever for talent density: attracting, motivating, and retaining the top talent that compounds Engine's advantage. This person takes our compensation, benefits, and equity to the next level and keeps us ahead of the market as we grow.
Critically, this is a forward-looking role. AI is reshaping workforce composition - which roles we need, the skills that matter, and how supply, demand, and pricing for talent are shifting. Our Total Rewards leader anticipates those changes and evolves our comp philosophy, architecture, and programs ahead of the curve.
You'll report to the CPO, partner deeply with the ELT, and act as the trusted advisor on the most consequential comp and equity decisions Engine makes over the next three years.
Rewards for the AI-Native Workforce
Anticipate how AI is changing the workforce - fewer transactional roles, more specialized and AI-fluent ones - and what that means for skills demand, market supply, and what talent is worth.
Evolve toward skills-based rewards and job architecture - keeping pace with how work and value are shifting, not just historical benchmarks.
Partner with functional leaders on the comp implications of every automation, role redesign, and new-role decision - so we're pricing talent correctly as the workforce evolves.
