A Career in Executive Compensation

What is
Executive Compensation?

Semler Brossy works with public and private companies across a broad range of industries to develop executive and key personnel compensation programs that align with each client’s strategy and performance.

We act as an independent advisor to boards of directors and work in partnership with management to create unique solutions that help drive the company’s business strategy. Some of our services include competitive pay benchmarking, incentive plan design, performance measure selection, and goal-setting.

Semler Brossy’s small client teams provide our consultants with direct client exposure and allow them to develop a wide range of business and analytical skills early in their careers. As they progress, our people become increasingly involved in client interaction and project management. In a career at Semler Brossy, individuals hone the skills needed for professional success as an expert executive compensation advisor or otherwise.

Team Member Spotlight

What I love most about Semler Brossy is how the work evolves. The work itself is intellectually engaging. I’m constantly moving between the analytical and the strategic, which gives me the foundation to create insightful thought leadership. Each day brings something new and elevates my thinking.

Michelle Wu, Senior Associate

The work is intellectually stimulating, demands creativity, and is accompanied by a highly supportive internal culture. The growth trajectory also empowers me to go beyond data analysis itself and expand towards thought leadership and deeper understanding of the issues at hand. Each day brings something different.

Anish Tamhaney, Senior Associate

Semler Brossy is a forward-thinking firm that’s always looking for better ways to serve clients. Right now, that means using AI to sharpen our advice, accelerate research, and surface insights that would have taken far longer to reach on our own. It changes the way you think about the work, and I think that’s exciting.
