- Manage equity tracking and administration in partnership with Legal & Finance
- Build and run employee recognition programs that reinforce culture and performance with support from the People Business Partners

## What You Bring

Required

- 8+ years of progressive HR operations and/or total rewards experience with meaningful ownership of total reward programs
- Hands-on HRIS and ATS administration experience; led RFP process and implementation for new HRIS vendor
- Strong comp fundamentals: salary benchmarking, merit cycles, sales incentives, bonus administration, and internal equity
