Analyst

Job Title: Analyst

Location: Houston, TX; This will be a hybrid position, working in office with remote flexibility.  

Position start: Summer 2023 (June)

The Company:

Pearl Meyer is the leading advisor to Boards and senior management on the alignment of executive compensation with business and leadership strategy, making pay programs a powerful catalyst for value creation and competitive advantage. Pearl Meyer’s global clients stand at the forefront of their industries and range from emerging high-growth, not-for-profit, and private companies to the Fortune 500 and FTSE 350.  The firm has offices in Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Houston, London, Los Angeles, New York, Rochester, and San Jose. Pearl Meyer is an equal opportunity employer.

The Role:

At Pearl Meyer, our analysts support project managers and client relationship managers on all aspects of project work. While a career in consulting can be fun, fast-paced and unpredictable, typical day-to-day responsibilities include:

• Using our vast array of tools and technology to conduct high-quality research that captures information on corporate financial performance and compensation practices
• Analyzing and synthesizing data sets to identify trends that are valuable to the client project
• Developing clear and informative visuals to communicate client specific analytical findings
• Assisting in writing and assembling customized client reports that are then used to drive strategic recommendations for the Board of Directors and/or C-Suite.

One unique aspect to Pearl Meyer is that we are not a standard executive compensation consulting firm where you are pigeonholed into working on one type of project or industry. From the first week, our analysts get exposure to a variety of industries (Oil & Gas, Retail, Technology, Life Sciences, Banking, etc.) in both the private and public marketplace. In addition, our regional staffing model means that our analysts work with project managers and senior consultants in multiple offices which facilitates their own personal growth and development. All work completed at Pearl Meyer is customized to the client, which allows our consultants to develop the strategic skills and depth of knowledge necessary for long-term success. Typical client projects can range from executive compensation, board of directors compensation, employee pay and salary structures, designing short- and long-term incentive plans, assessing pay-for-performance, developing or updating severance arrangement terms, ensuring pay equity is appropriate, transitioning private companies into a public setting and/or providing updates on governance trends to ensure clients are informed and compliant.

The Person:

Pearl Meyer is seeking a self-motivated and results-oriented analyst to join our high performing consulting team. Given the high-profile consultative nature of the work, exceptional focus and attention to detail coupled with a team-oriented mindset is a must! Successful employees at Pearl Meyer also tend to be proactive, flexible, and strong communicators with top notch interpersonal skills!
