About the role

Mercer is seeking a Senior Executive Compensation Consultant to lead design and delivery of executive and broad-based compensation programs, with a focus on higher education clients. You will manage project teams, own client relationships, and drive revenue by developing new business opportunities. You will guide junior staff, collaborate with Marsh units, and shape compensation philosophy, strategy, and program design to align with client goals and regulatory requirements.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
