Job Description
Executive Compensation Consultant
Sterlington, PLLC
Role Description This is a client-facing consulting role at the intersection of executive pay, corporate governance, and business strategy. You will serve as a trusted advisor to Sterlington's clients, typically founders, C-suite executives, compensation committees, boards, and private equity sponsors, helping them design, benchmark, and govern executive compensation programs that attract top talent and align pay with long-term value creation. You will work directly with Sterlington's executive compensation partners, producing independent analysis and client-ready deliverables across both public and pre-IPO company contexts. What You'll Do: - Advise on the design of executive compensation programs: base salary, annual and long-term incentives, equity plans, MIPs, and severance arrangements. - Develop and articulate compensation philosophy frameworks that align pay structure with business objectives, shareholder interests, and governance standards. - Model incentive plan scenarios: stress-testing pay-for-performance alignment, cost impacts, and dilution effects across a range of business outcomes. - Conduct compensation risk assessments and advise on clawback policies, stock ownership guidelines, and anti-hedging provisions. - Guide clients through compensation design in the context of IPOs, M&A, restructurings, and PE-backed management incentive plans. - Advise on severance, change-in-control provisions, and executive succession planning in deal and transition contexts. - Support post-merger integration on executive compensation harmonization and retention program design. - Draft and review plan documents, term sheets, offer letters, and employment agreements related to executive compensation. - Leverage AI tools to accelerate research, modeling, and deliverable production. Sterlington is an AI-first firm and expects fluency, not familiarity. Qualifications - 5+ years in executive compensation consulting, compensation committee advisory, investment banking (comp-focused), Big 4, or a specialist executive pay firm. - JD, MBA, or CPA — or equivalent demonstrated expertise in tax/legal dimensions of executive pay. - Experience with technology, life sciences, or high-growth private company clients. - Deep knowledge of executive pay design across public and/or private/pre-IPO company contexts — including equity incentive structures, performance metrics, and governance frameworks. - Strong financial modeling and analytical skills; advanced Excel; fluency with proxy data tools (Equilar, ISS Analytics, Radford, or equivalent). - Proven ability to manage multiple client engagements simultaneously in a remote-first environment. - Demonstrated fluency with AI tools in professional work — Sterlington's AI-first mandate is non-negotiable across all roles. Benefits - At Sterlington, we believe that world-class talent has no boundaries. - We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment where unique perspectives are valued and every individual has the opportunity to thrive. - We encourage all qualified candidates to apply.
