Senior Total Rewards Manager

Torrance, CA

What we're building

The marine industry supports recreation, global commerce, and national defense. And yet it runs on technology that hasn't meaningfully changed in fifty years. Until now.

Arc is on a mission to electrify the marine industry. We're rethinking powertrains, software, and vessel designs from first principles. And we're already executing. We started with consumers to develop and harden our core technology. We're now scaling production of our flagship model with new models and sectors on the horizon. Now we're extending our platform to commercial applications, starting with tugs, ferries, and defense, with years worth of signed contracts and a pipeline that spans every vessel type on the water.

The technology is proven, the momentum is building, and the opportunity is enormous. The marine industry is going electric and Arc is building the platform that powers it.

Who we're looking for

We’re looking for someone who’s fired up by our mission and ready to build. You’ll thrive here if you adapt quickly, take ownership, and care about the details.

This is a full-time, on-site role at our Los Angeles headquarters. You’ll report to our Director of People and work closely with a lean, high-trust team where everyone’s work matters.

What you'll do

• Owning Arc’s compensation philosophy, salary targets, and equity strategy, and running annual and off-cycle compensation planning, including bonus cycles, promotions, and equity refreshes
• Benchmarking pay using compensation data sets to keep us competitive in the market while balancing business pragmatism
• Designing and administering benefits programs, including health, 401(k), leave, wellness, and Arc-specific perks
• Building and modernizing the systems, processes, and tools that let total rewards scale reliably from today’s 200+ person crew to 500+, while preserving culture and enhancing employee value proposition
• Designing compensation frameworks, manager enablement tools, and incentive programs that give people leaders more ownership over how they recognize their teams while landing as meaningful, visible rewards
• Developing differentiated pay strategies across engineering, technical, hourly, and revenue-generating roles
• Building Arc’s executive compensation strategy and evolving our equity programs, including valuation methodology and cash↔equity trade options
• Partnering with Recruiting on offers, leveling, and candidate-facing communication
• Ensuring compliance with federal and California pay transparency, equal pay, and benefits regulations
• Communicating total rewards clearly to our crew through onboarding, open enrollment, and ongoing channels
  
  

Minimum Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in compensation, benefits, or total rewards spanning both exempt and non-exempt roles, with meaningful experience operating at a strategic level, building programs and philosophy
• Experience building or significantly evolving a company’s compensation infrastructure and tools to support growth
• Experience designing executive and manager-level equity compensation, including ISOs, NSOs, RSUs, and milestone or impact-based equity grants
• Proficiency with comp benchmarking tools (Pave, Radford, Mercer, or similar) and HRIS platforms (Rippling, Gusto, or similar)
• Fluency with modern tools (AI and others) to get more leverage out of time, enable better collaboration across the People team, and communicate total rewards to the company effectively
• Ability to translate ambiguous, cross-functional business needs into clear compensation philosophy, policies, and exception frameworks
• A strong point of view on compensation strategy, paired with the ability to build a rationale and influence senior leadership stakeholders around it
• Strong analytical and modeling skills, with proficiency at leveraging modern AI tools to improve efficiency and increase quality
  
  

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience scaling total rewards at a fast-growing startup
• Background in EV, hardware, aerospace, or defense companies
• Experience designing compensation for distinct technical or engineering disciplines with different market premiums
• Experience with pre-IPO equity programs, including valuation methodology, cash↔equity trade design, and alternative payout structures
• Comfortable pushing at a fast but sustainable pace
• Enthusiasm for boating and the water
  
  

At Arc, we encourage diversity and consider all qualified applicants equally for employment, regardless of background, identity, or status. You're always welcome to reach out even if you don't meet many of these qualifications. Passion and aptitude make up for a lot.

• Ownership over both your work and the company's success
• Empathy for colleagues and for customers
• Humility in problem solving and collaboration
• Pragmatism for navigating ambiguity quickly and sensibly
• Inclusion of different backgrounds, opinions, cultures, and perspectives.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305

Page 1 of 1

OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
