Job Description
The University of Missouri System is seeking to fill two Senior Human Resources Consultant positions within the Compensation team. While each position has a unique area of emphasis, both serve as senior-level compensation professionals providing strategic consultation, analysis, and guidance on compensation programs, classification, salary structures, market benchmarking, workforce analytics, and compensation-related systems and processes.

- Provide strategic compensation consultation and recommendations to leaders, HR professionals, and stakeholders.
- Conduct advanced compensation analyses, market benchmarking, and workforce analytics to support organizational decision making.
