Senior Board & Executive Compensation Consultant (Public Pension)
Why This Role Stands Out
This remote role offers significant impact by advising public pension boards on executive compensation, allowing you to leverage your expertise in incentive design and market analysis. You'll thrive here if you have extensive experience consulting with Boards of Trustees on executive compensation for large public entities, and you'll find this opportunity to be a rewarding next step in your career.
Quick Overview
Job Description
AlphaGov is building a bench of independent compensation consultants for board-level and executive compensation engagements with large public pension funds, retirement systems, and comparable governmental organizations.
Remote, project-based work: annual total-compensation reviews for board direct reports (e.g., Executive Director, CIO, Chief Audit Executive), performance-pay / incentive plan design and assessment, target-market reviews and independent market studies, compensation philosophy advisory, board education, and written analyses for Boards of Trustees (occasional on-site board meetings).
This is not a municipal classification & pay-plan study role. Ideal candidates have advised Boards of Trustees on executive compensation for large public pension, investment, or nonprofit organizations.
What you'll do:
- Named technical lead on board/executive compensation for public pension/retirement systems
- Annual total-comp reviews for board direct reports (base + performance-pay)
- Performance-pay / incentive plan design assessment
- Target-market reviews and independent market studies (peers often >$100B AUM funds)
- Board-ready reports and presentations; occasional on-site board meetings
- Proposal past-performance support under AlphaGov
- Maintain independence / no conflicts
Ideal:
- ≥5 years compensation analysis for financial, investment, or pension-fund industries
- ≥5 years working with Boards of Trustees including presenting compensation benchmarking
- ≥5 years executive compensation and incentive strategies for large public-pension / governmental / nonprofit orgs
- Available for remote project-based consulting
Nice to have: CCP/CEBS/WorldatWork/SPHR; Mercer/Pearl Meyer/WTW/McLagan/Aon board-comp background; Texas or large pension experience
