This individual must bring strong compensation expertise, public company experience, executive presence, analytical rigor, and the ability to translate complex compensation and benefits matters into clear recommendations for senior leaders and governance bodies.
The ideal candidate will have deep experience in broad-based and executive compensation, incentive plan design, benefits strategy, market benchmarking, compensation governance, and public company Compensation Committee preparation.

• Serve as a key partner in the preparation of Compensation Committee materials, including executive compensation analysis, incentive plan design recommendations, market data, peer benchmarking, governance updates, and decision-support materials.
• Partner closely with Legal, Finance, Accounting, and external advisors to ensure compensation and benefits programs are compliant, financially sound, properly governed, and aligned with public company disclosure and reporting requirements.
• Oversee employee benefits strategy and program administration, ensuring offerings are competitive, cost-effective, compliant, and aligned with the needs of a global and evolving workforce.
• Evaluate current compensation and benefits programs to identify gaps, risks, inconsistencies, and opportunities to improve competitiveness, governance, employee experience, and operational efficiency.
• Build and lead a high-performing compensation and benefits team, developing technical expertise, service orientation, business partnership, and scalable operating processes.
• Partner with Talent, HR Business Partners, Finance, Legal, and business leaders to provide compensation guidance and recommendations that support hiring, retention, promotion, organizational design, and workforce planning decisions.
• Establish reporting, analytics, and dashboards to measure compensation and benefits effectiveness, cost, utilization, competitiveness, equity, and alignment with business outcomes.
• Remain current on public company compensation practices, SEC disclosure considerations, regulatory developments, benefits trends, market competitiveness, and governance best practices.
• Drive operational excellence across compensation and benefits processes, with a focus on accuracy, consistency, compliance, stakeholder experience, and continuous improvement.
• Over time, lead the development of an integrated Total Rewards framework that connects compensation, benefits, incentives, recognition, wellbeing, career development, and employee value proposition into a cohesive strategy.
