About the role

Public Affairs Senior Analyst Full-Time, Exempt

About The Role: ACPWB's Public Affairs practice serves organizations that are trying to do the right thing on corporate governance best practices — and some that are trying to appear to do the right thing on corporate governance best practices. The Salary Advocacy Program Manager will work with both categories. This requires a particular combination of intellectual integrity and interpersonal diplomacy. We can train the latter. We cannot train the former. We have snacks.

Key Responsibilities: Manage preparation and submission of ACPWB's annual survey participation data to Willis Towers Watson SIRS Maintain current working knowledge of Willis Towers Watson SIRS and comparable compensation survey instruments Represent ACPWB at industry conferences and events related to corporate governance best practices and executive compensation Track and analyze proxy statements, regulatory filings, and public disclosures related to corporate governance best practices Facilitate post-engagement debriefs with clients to assess satisfaction and identify follow-on opportunities Coordinate with clients' HR, legal, and finance teams to gather and validate data Manage junior team members on project workstreams, providing direction, feedback, and development coaching

Qualifications: Required

Experience in or advising clients in the financial services sector on compensation and workforce matters 3+ years of experience in compensation consulting, HR advisory, or a related analytical field Familiarity with SEC disclosure requirements and proxy statement analysis Demonstrated experience conducting quantitative analysis using large, complex datasets Preferred Experience working with family-owned businesses on compensation program formalization Experience with board portal software (Diligent, BoardVantage, or equivalent) Familiarity with FASB ASC 718 equity compensation accounting Familiarity with international compensation benchmarking and cross-border equity structures WHY ACPWB ACPWB occupies a distinctive position: large enough to be credible, small enough to be agile, old enough to have a track record, young enough to still be building it. The people who thrive here find that combination energizing rather than disorienting. ACPWB was founded in Milwaukee in 2006 with a simple mandate: help working Americans understand and advocate for the compensation they deserve. Eighteen years later, that mandate has grown into a full-service research and advisory practice serving clients from early-stage employers to Fortune 50 enterprises — and we are still based in Milwaukee, because Milwaukee is genuinely underrated.

INTERVIEW PROCESS: For senior roles, the process typically includes a portfolio or work-sample discussion. We ask candidates to walk us through a piece of work they are proud of and explain the decisions behind it. Anonymize client details as appropriate. We are interested in the thinking, not the client names. What Success Looks Like In Year One Informally onboard a newer team member and help them access institutional knowledge Establish a regular cadence with your manager for feedback, development planning, and career discussion Produce at least one deliverable that appears in a client's board materials or proxy statement Deliver an internal presentation sharing key insights from your first major client engagement

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.
