What you will do:
Design, implement, and manage benefits programs across all global hubs, ensuring local compliance and competitiveness.

Partner with Legal and regional HR teams to ensure benefits programs comply with local labor and tax regulations.
Lead annual open enrollment processes and ongoing employee benefits education and communication.
Analyze benefits utilization and cost trends, providing recommendations to leadership on plan design and budget.
Manage leave-of-absence programs and ensure consistent, compliant administration across regions.
Respond to employee questions and escalations related to benefits, acting as a subject matter expert.

Have experience using HRIS/benefits administration platforms and analyzing benefits data.
Communicate clearly and empathetically with employees on sensitive benefits topics.
In-office culture
We're intentional about this. We believe the best teams are built in the room together. Three anchor days — Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays — create the collaboration rhythm that makes a hub office worth having.
