Dataiku Inc.; France; A distancia; EUR 150.000 - 200.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Dataiku is seeking a Global Benefits Lead to own worldwide programs across all countries where we operate. You will partner with the Global Total Rewards Lead, Finance, Legal, Payroll and brokers, and will work remotely across the EMEA region to ensure consistency and cost discipline.

You’ll drive renewals, manage vendor relationships, ensure US ERISA compliance and EU programs, model budgets, and build AI-powered enrollment processes that employees find intuitive.

Formación

• Extensive global benefits experience in a global, high‑growth tech or enterprise software company.
• Deep expertise in benefits design, renewals, vendor/broker management and benchmarking across multiple countries.
• Strong, hands‑on US benefits compliance experience, plus experience with European programs and statutory requirements, including UK and French benefits and pensions.
• Experience managing benefits through both owned entities and Employer of Record providers (e.g. Deel, Remote).
• A track record of building or transforming benefits programs, not just administering them.
• Experience leading a team and influencing senior stakeholders in lean, fast‑moving environments.
• Strong analytical skills for cost modeling and claims analysis, and real curiosity for AI and automation (Workday a plus).

Responsabilidades

• Shape the strategy. Define and evolve our global benefits philosophy with the Global Total Rewards Lead, balancing market competitiveness, consistency across countries and cost discipline.
• Own the global portfolio. Design and manage health, retirement, insurance, leave and wellbeing programs across our entities and EOR countries, setting a clear global floor with smart local variation.
• Run renewals and vendors. Lead annual renewals, broker and carrier relationships, and RFPs. Negotiate on data, not habit, and hold vendors to clear service levels.
• Keep us compliant. Make sure plans meet local rules in every country. You’ll own US compliance directly (ERISA, ACA, COBRA, nondiscrimination testing, Form 5500) as well as statutory and collective‑agreement obligations in Europe and beyond.
• Manage cost. Own the global benefits budget and forecasts with Finance. Model plan changes, track claims and utilisation trends, and bring clear trade‑offs to decision‑makers.
• Lead benefits operations. Lead the team that runs enrollment, life events, leaves, payroll and HRIS integrations, and EOR coordination. Build processes that scale without adding headcount.
• Use AI to reinvent the experience. Automate enrollment, eligibility checks, reconciliations and employee questions with AI agents and workflows.
• Support growth and change. Set up benefits for new countries, entity conversions from EOR, and acquisitions, with clean harmonization plans.
• Communicate clearly. Build benefits guides, open-enrollment campaigns and manager resources that people actually read.
