  • Monitor utilization, costs, and employee feedback to evaluate effectiveness and recommend program enhancements.
  • 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.
  • Partner with HR, Finance, and Legal to ensure programs are fiscally responsible, compliant, and aligned with organizational goals.
