• Manage relationships with external vendors, brokers, and consultants to optimize the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of our benefits programs.
• Stay abreast of legislative and regulatory changes related to compensation and benefits, and ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
• Analyze employee data and metrics to assess the effectiveness of our total rewards programs and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
• Provide guidance and support to managers and employees on compensation-related inquiries and issues.
• Develop and deliver engaging and informative training sessions to educate employees and managers on our total rewards programs.

• Minimum of 8 years of progressive experience in compensation, benefits, or total rewards management, preferably in a fast-paced, start-up environment.
• In-depth knowledge of compensation and benefits principles, practices, and trends, including familiarity with job evaluation methodologies, salary structures, incentive plans, and benefits design.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data, draw insights, and make data-driven recommendations.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and influence stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
• Detail-oriented with a high degree of accuracy and integrity.
• Proven project management skills, with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
