  • Ensure compliance with benefits regulations globally (e.g., ACA, ERISA, HIPAA, COBRA in the U.S., and equivalent frameworks internationally).
  • Serve as the organization’s subject matter expert for global compensation and benefits.
  • Work in tandem with the legal department to monitor and own the company’s equity incentive program.
