Seeking a seasoned, hands-on Workday Compensation Manager to support NCL’s shipboard compensation program and the final push toward a January 1 go-live for a compensation reimplementation.

This role focuses on complex, union-based shipboard compensation, where pay rates, allowances, bonuses, and other compensation elements vary by job and collective bargaining agreement (CBA).

· Provide hands-on leadership while managing contractors and potentially 1–2 direct reports.

Ideal Candidate:

· Experienced Workday Compensation Manager with implementation experience in a complex environment.

· Strong understanding of unionized compensation structures and collective bargaining agreements.

· Experience with shipboard, maritime, or similarly complex workforce compensation is highly desirable.

· Background in HR, HRIS, or HR Technology, with experience partnering closely with Compensation teams.

· Proven integration testing, configuration validation, and systems integrator management experience.

· U.S. union experience preferred

· Payroll experience with other countries is also a big plus.
