## ABOUT THE COMPANY

- Manage background checks, employment verifications, and contractor compliance processes
- International & Domestic Compensation, Payroll & Benefits Coordination
- Collaborate with Finance and external payroll providers to ensure timely, accurate global payroll
- Maintain records for variable compensation, token/equity grants, and other crypto-specific programs
- Support annual compensation reviews, benefits renewals, and compensation benchmarking efforts
- Employee Experience & Lifecycle Management
- Manage onboarding workflows to ensure a smooth, compliant, and high-quality new-hire experience
- Oversee offboarding, exit documentation, equipment logistics, and system access governance

- Build and maintain dashboards for headcount, attrition, diversity metrics, workforce planning, and more
- Provide people data insights to leadership for strategic planning and audits

- Strong analytical mindset and comfort with spreadsheets, audits, and data integrity
- Excellent organizational skills with the ability to scale processes in a fast-moving environment
- Experience in a regulated industry (financial services, fintech, banking, crypto) strongly preferred
- Discretion and professionalism when handling sensitive information

## NICE TO HAVE, BUT NOT MANDATORY

- Experience supporting teams across the US, LATAM, EU, or APAC
