What you bring - 5–8 years of experience in compensation, HR analytics, or related field - Strong analytical mindset—you’re comfortable with data, but more importantly, you know what matters - Advanced Excel skills (if you love messy datasets, even better) - Experience with HR systems and reporting tools (UKG, Cognos, or similar) - Power BI experience preferred - Working knowledge of compensation-related regulations (FLSA, pay equity, etc.) - Ability to operate independently, prioritize effectively, and move work forward without hand-holding - Strong communication skills—you can translate complex analysis into clear business recommendations - Curiosity and a bias for improving how things work.

You’ll have visibility, influence, and the opportunity to help modernize how compensation works at TEGNA—especially as we continue to lean into analytics, automation, and smarter decision-making across HR.
