About the role
NORC at the University of Chicago seeks a Director of Compensation to lead compensation programs organization-wide. You will own the job architecture, develop pay structures, and ensure competitive packages that support recruiting, retention, and engagement.
You will partner with NORC People and business leaders, guiding offers, promotions, and the annual merit cycle while ensuring legal compliance and data-driven insights. The role is hybrid, with two days in Chicago Loop.
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.
