• Collaborate across operations, implementation, client service, and compliance to translate real administrator pain points into product changes
• Triage and drive resolution of production issues — reproduce problems, assess client impact, distinguish defects from configuration or data issues, and prioritize fixes
• Understand the backend well enough to be useful: data models for grants and transactions, vesting and lifecycle processing, tax withholding logic, integrations with HRIS/payroll/brokerage, batch jobs, and reporting pipelines
• Support client demos, RFP responses, and release communications
• Track competitor capability and feed findings into prioritization

Required qualifications, capabilities and skills

• 10+ years of total experience
• Minimum 5 years in equity compensation, with hands‑on work at a US equity administration platform (participant and/or administrator side)
• Working knowledge of plan types (RSU, RSA, option, ESPP, PSU) and the mechanics behind them: vesting schedules, releases, exercises, purchase periods, forfeitures, and dispositions
• Comfort reading data structures, tracing transactions end to end, and writing or reading SQL
• Strong written communication — specs, defect writeups, and stakeholder updates
• Proven ability to work in cross-functional agile teams

Preferred qualifications, capabilities and skills

• Engineering or technical background — degree or prior hands‑on experience in software engineering, computer science, or information technology
• Experience with platform migrations or client implementations
• Exposure to global/multi‑jurisdiction equity administration
• Background in financial services or fintech
