About The Position

Fireblocks is seeking a Global Total Rewards Lead to oversee compensation and benefits programs across all operating markets. This role requires expertise in global compensation benchmarking and benefits, and operational ownership of two annual review cycles: the full annual compensation review and a mid-year mini cycle. It's a hands-on, high-visibility position for someone skilled in both the strategic and technical aspects of Total Rewards, from developing compensation philosophy and structures to managing the tools that support them. The Lead will collaborate with People Operations, Talent Acquisition, Finance, and global business leaders to ensure competitive and fair compensation practices that support the company's growth as a global tech entity.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in Total Rewards / Compensation & Benefits, with direct ownership of full-cycle annual comp review.
Must have tech industry experience - you understand tech company pay structures, equity compensation, and the competitive dynamics of hiring in tech.
Hands-on expertise with Radford - you can run market analyses, build/validate bands, and use it as a core tool in your daily work, not just as a passive user.
Hands-on expertise in HiBob & Pave - proven experience configuring, managing, and reporting through HiBob and Pave for comp and benefits processes.
Deep understanding of global compensation bands and structures across multiple countries/regions.
Strong knowledge of global benefits design, including navigating differences in statutory and market-standard benefits across geographies.
Excellent stakeholder management skills - you'll work cross-functionally with TA, People Ops, Finance, and business leaders.
Strong analytical and Excel/spreadsheet modeling skills; comfort with data at scale.
High attention to detail, discretion, and sound judgment when handling sensitive compensation data.
Ability to work in a fast-paced, global, high-growth environment.

Manage global compensation architecture, including job leveling, global salary bands/ranges, market pricing, and pay equity analysis across all regions where Fireblocks operates.
