• Strong compensation analytics skills; advanced Excel required
• Experience supporting a multi-country workforce, ideally including Employer of Record structures

• High judgment with confidential information and comfort operating in a fast-moving, changing environment
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

• Manage and develop payroll/benefits support resources, setting clear standards, review cadences, and documentation requirements
• Serve as escalation point and backup for payroll processing to eliminate single points of failure

• Produce recurring and ad hoc workforce reporting — headcount, attrition, span of control, compensation — for the CHRO, executive team, and board materials
• Maintain the enterprise headcount and org data model, ensuring changes (hires, terminations, transfers, reorganizations) are captured accurately and on time

• Enhance tools, frameworks, and processes to support organizational performance and talent development.
• Train managers and leaders to drive a fair, consistent, and high-performance culture.

• Coordinate day-to-day operations with international Employer of Record partners across multiple countries, keeping onboarding, payroll changes, and terminations compliant and on schedule
