ABOUT onX

We’re a team of builders, adventurers, and risk takers using technology to help people confidently explore the outdoors. Driven by our mission to awaken the adventurer inside everyone, we build products that optimize every outdoor experience and inspire confidence to get out and go further.

We’re a high-growth tech company. The pace is fast, the work takes grit, and ambiguity is part of the job. As the world changes around us, we adapt - continuously evolving how we build, prioritize, and deliver.

Our business moves quickly, and there’s real opportunity to shape what we build next. Each of our verticals - Hunt, Offroad, Backcountry, and Fish - is at a different stage of maturity, which means the challenges you encounter and the impact you have will vary depending on where you sit and what the business needs most.

We operate with an experimentation mindset, continually iterating and improving how we solve problems. We expect our people to use the latest tooling, including AI, thoughtfully and responsibly, pairing human judgment with technology to increase quality, speed, and impact.

Our impact comes to life through the products we build, in the stories of our customers, and in our growing commitment to land stewardship and recreational access.

ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY

onX is seeking a Senior Total Rewards Manager to help shape how we reward, support, and invest in our employees as the company continues to scale. This role sits at the intersection of compensation, benefits, wellness, recognition, job architecture, and employee experience.

We're looking for someone who can assess what is working, challenge what is no longer serving us, and build practical, scalable solutions that balance employee experience, business needs, and market competitiveness. You'll help modernize how we approach Total Rewards by leveraging data, market insights, operational rigor, and emerging technologies (including AI) to create programs that are equitable, understandable, and effective.

Success in this role requires both strategic thinking and hands-on execution. You'll help shape the future direction of Total Rewards at onX while personally driving key initiatives, improving processes, and building the operational foundation that allows programs to scale effectively. This role reports to the Senior Director of People Operations.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
^{Essential Job Duties & Functions}

Evolve onX's Total Rewards Strategy

Assess and evolve onX's total rewards portfolio—including compensation, benefits, wellness, recognition, and employee support programs—to ensure our overall investment in employees remains competitive, equitable, and aligned with the needs of a growing workforce.
Partner with People & Culture leadership to translate total rewards philosophy into scalable programs, practical decision-making frameworks, and employee experiences that are easy to understand and navigate.
Use data, market insights, employee feedback, and AI-enabled analysis to identify opportunities, surface risks, and inform recommendations that strengthen attraction, retention, and employee experience.
Develop clear communications, resources, and decision-making tools that help employees, managers, and leaders understand and navigate Total Rewards programs.

Lead Compensation Programs & Job Architecture

Own compensation benchmarking, job architecture, leveling, pay bands, compensation review cycles, and market positioning, ensuring consistent and equitable compensation practices across the organization.
Serve as a trusted advisor on compensation and job architecture decisions, partnering with Finance, Recruiting, Hiring Managers, and People Business Partners on offers, leveling, market positioning, retention, workforce planning, and role design.

Shape Benefits, Wellness & Employee Support

Lead the evaluation and evolution of onX's benefits and wellness programs, managing vendor relationships, leveraging market insights, and building business cases that balance employee needs, market competitiveness, and cost effectiveness.
Provide guidance on complex employee support matters, including leave administration, benefits escalations, and sensitive situations requiring strong judgment, empathy, and compliance expertise.

Build Scalable Operations & Capability

Operate as a player-coach, balancing strategic program design with hands-on execution. Partner closely with a People Operations Specialist who supports benefits administration and employee support while you retain ownership for the strategy, evolution, and delivery of Total Rewards programs.
Build and improve the systems, processes, documentation, and operational infrastructure that enable Total Rewards programs to scale effectively.
Identify opportunities to reduce manual work, improve decision quality, and scale the Total Rewards function through automation, AI-enabled workflows, better systems, and thoughtful process design.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

8+ years of progressive HR experience, including 5+ years focused on Total Rewards, Compensation, Benefits, or closely related disciplines.
Demonstrated experience designing, evolving, and operating Total Rewards programs, with strong, well-rounded expertise across both compensation and benefits, including compensation benchmarking (e.g., Radford, Mercer), job architecture, leveling, pay practices, and market analysis.
Experience scaling and evolving Total Rewards programs within growing organizations, with an understanding of how employee needs, processes, and systems change as companies mature.
Experience partnering with leaders, recruiters, and hiring managers on compensation decisions, including offers, leveling, market positioning, retention strategies, and workforce planning.
Proven ability to influence decisions and build credibility with senior leaders by combining analytical rigor, sound judgment, and strong business acumen, while also navigating sensitive employee situations with empathy and sound judgment.
Success operating in a player-coach environment, balancing strategic program design with hands-on execution and continuous improvement.
Strong systems thinking with the ability to identify opportunities for automation, process improvement, and AI-enabled ways of working that improve scale, efficiency, and decision quality.
Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex Total Rewards concepts into clear, actionable guidance for employees, managers, and executives.
Experience working with HRIS platforms and Total Rewards technologies.
A shared passion for and ability to demonstrate onX's Company Values.
Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience required.
Permanent U.S. work authorization is a condition of employment.
Ability to travel quarterly for multiple days to a corporate office or other onX strategic location, such as a Basecamp

THE ONX EXPERIENCE

onX is a distributed company with more than 400 employees across the country. We come together regularly to work in person and stay connected through regional basecamps and a culture that balances individual ownership with deep collaboration.

You’ll partner closely with others to solve complex problems and build solutions that scale across teams and platforms. Along the way, you’ll be supported with feedback, tools, and opportunities to grow your craft as you take on new challenges.
