• Build new practice tools, go-to-market materials and capabilities or service lines as the needs and demands of the market evolve

• Mentor and develop junior staff by providing guidance on compensation concepts, modeling, and client delivery

• Support senior team members by leading the development of client deliverables, internal initiatives, and quality control

How You’ll Grow 

This is an excellent opportunity for a person with proven, hands-on executive compensation experience who wants to provide analytical services to debtors, creditors and other stakeholders of companies, while contributing to the growth of the FTI Consulting Global Human Capital segment.  

You will partner with our diverse clients and internal teams in various industries to continue to learn and grow in new and complex areas and technologies. In addition to compensation-focused engagements, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to large-scale restructurings, total rewards strategy, and other Human Capital initiatives as they arise to gain a variety of skills towards becoming a more well-rounded practitioner.
