Compensation and Benefits Analyst

The ancestors of the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation existed many centuries ago as a community of people…a Tribe living together, farming, hunting and fishing to survive.

Much has changed since that time.  Today the Sycuan Tribe governs its Reservation, owns and operates a Casino and a Golf Resort, and owns a number of other business ventures in the San Diego Region.   

One attribute that remains unchanged, however, is Sycuan's sense of community.  Sycuan is more than just a business.  Sycuan is a community of people working together toward a common goal.  Whether you work in our state-of-the-art  Casino, our beautiful Resort, or become a staff member in our Tribal Government division, you will be part of the Sycuan family.

Join the dynamic world of Casino, Hospitality, Golf and Government Human Resources! As the Compensation and Benefits Analyst, you will play a key role in the analysis and implementation of compensation and benefit plans and strategies that promote Sycuan as the employer of choice. This is a strategic role on the Human Resources team where your influence and collaboration with business leaders will make a positive impact on the organization!

Analytical, problem solving, communication, influencing and strong human resources skills are key to creating a positive employee experience within this vibrant and diverse setting.
