Equity Methods

Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

Equity Methods seeks a results-focused, growth-oriented professional to support and drive client engagements serving the chief human resources officers and compensation executives at Fortune 500 companies and beyond. Our HR practice offers you the ability to apply core economics principles in a rigorous yet applied capacity. Our work directly impacts the C-suite at client firms on topics such as pay equity and incentive design.

The Economist role is intended to lead to a senior consulting role at the Manager or similar level. You will lead complex client engagements and be responsible for delivering high-impact solutions that leverage your background in economics, in addition to supervising associates on the team. This custom pathway into a senior consulting role is designed for PhDs in Economics, Finance, and Accounting, as well as anyone who receives a master’s degree within a PhD academic program.

If you enjoy problem-solving, are interested in a client-facing applied role, and enjoy geeking out with technical models, then we would like to meet you.

The Role in a Nutshell
Prior professional services experience is not required and neither is compensation-specific experience. Although every day will be different, Economists will:
• Complete initial training in compensation projects, ranging from broad-based compensation issues to incentive design to statistical pay equity analysis.
• Deliver guidance on statistical matters in pay equity and other related quantitatively-oriented projects.
• Contribute to compensation strategy projects, in which we are engaged by public and pre-IPO companies to recommend new incentive programs that support critical business objectives.
• Capture recommendations and analytics for external and internal audiences in superbly structured and clear PowerPoint presentations and Excel worksheets.
• Perform research using clients’ 10-K and proxy statements to form viewpoints on market compensation practices, including pay levels, incentive structures, corporate governance, disclosure, and equity dilution.
• Analyze broad-based compensation benchmarking survey data to recommend employee pay levels in light of industry and peer practices.
• Develop detailed and dynamic models for equity dilution and share utilization in support of recommended compensation programs and levels of compensation by role.
• Support valuation modeling engagements, including the use of Monte Carlo simulation and similar methodologies to estimate the fair value on complex compensation instruments.

The Economist role is not expected to be a back-office technical role—this role will be client-facing and part of our consulting leadership career path.
