Compensation Analyst Job at RwandAir Ltd

RwandAir Ltd

Job Description

The Compensation Analyst strengthens RwandAir’s total rewards competitiveness by delivering high‑quality market pricing, pay structure design, and data‑driven insights that inform business decisions. The role focuses on compensation analytics (not benefits administration), partnering across HR and the business to support annual cycles and strategic workforce changes, and participating in aviation‑specific compensation surveys to ensure our pay practices are externally competitive and internally equitable. (Benefits administration accountability sits with the Benefits function). 

Duties, Roles and Responsibilities

a) Operational

  • Support the Manager, Compensation & Benefits in developing and implementing total rewards initiatives aligned with RwandAir’s HR strategy.
  • Assist with market compensation and benefits benchmarking to maintain external competitiveness and internal equity.
  • Provide data-based recommendations on compensation adjustments and benefits programs.
  • Support organizational initiatives including job evaluation and grading alignment.
  • Maintain and update salary structures, pay scales, and job descriptions within HRIS/ERP systems.
  • Ensure compliance with local labour laws, tax regulations, and audit requirements.
  • Translate market data into practical pay strategies that support talent attraction and retention across operational and corporate roles; advise HRBPs and leaders on compensation implications for hiring, organizational design, and headcount changes.
  • Prepare cost and sensitivity scenario models for structural changes such as new station roles and ramp-up plans, balancing competitiveness, equity, and budget management.
  • Monitor aviation workforce trends and incorporate insights into compensation recommendations.
  • Match jobs to survey benchmarks, price roles by grade or position class, and apply location and job family differentials in line with survey methodologies (Mercer IPE, WTW RDI, Aon Radford).
  • Maintain salary ranges, midpoints, and structure movement, recommending adjustments in line with market trends and budget signals.
  • Support merit planning, promotions, new hire offers, and incentive eligibility through analytical reports and executive summaries.
  • Prepare inputs for Hay job evaluations, ensuring job descriptions align with the internal grading framework.
  • Reconcile HRIS/ERP data, maintain compensation records, and conduct pre- and post-cycle audits to minimize errors and exceptions.
  • Develop and maintain compensation dashboards using Excel, Power BI, or equivalent tools, covering compa-ratios, range penetration, pay equity indicators, market movement, and budget impact.
  • Produce decision-ready insights and reports for HR leadership and Finance.
  • Partner with HRBPs, Talent Acquisition, and Finance to provide timely compensation guidance, coordinating closely with the Benefits function for integrated total rewards communication.
  • Serve as a key advisor on compensation matters to managers and HR colleagues, developing simple guides and reference materials to support understanding of reward programs.
  • Ensure adherence to labour laws, internal policies, audit requirements, and survey participation guidelines, maintaining proper documentation for approvals and decisions.
  • Contribute to HR transformation by embedding data-driven practices and transparent pay governance within the Compensation & Benefits function.
  • Perform any other duties related to the role as assigned by the Manager.

b) Continuous Improvement and Collaboration

  • Identify inefficiencies in compensation, payroll, and benefits-related processes and recommend improvements.
  • Collaborate with HR colleagues to support training, policy awareness, and service enhancements.
  • Share compensation insights and market trends to inform HR and business decision-making.
