- Design, manage, and evolve the company's global compensation structure, including executive compensation and bonus plan design.
- Oversee cash compensation planning, salary structure, market benchmarking, and reward strategies.
- Prepare relevant Board of Directors and Compensation Committee materials, including compensation recommendations, data analysis, and equity program updates.

- Familiarity with public company equity plan administrators, especially Fidelity, and hands-on capability within the system.
- Certified Equity Professional (CEP) certification highly preferred.
- Experience with payroll tax implications of equity plans across jurisdictions.
- Previous exposure to M&A transactions and equity plan transitions is a plus.
- Experience building from scratch — bringing order, structure, and process where currently none exist.
- Demonstrated ability to create strategic comp structures, bonus programs, and executive compensation plans.
- Ability to partner effectively with Legal, Finance, and HR stakeholders, and to communicate clearly with executive leadership and Board members.
- Highly analytical, detail-oriented, organized, and creative in solving complex Total Rewards challenges.
