Lay groundwork to implement Workday Advanced Compensation, ensuring system requirements align with business needs and drive manager self-service at scale
Work with our Senior Benefit Manager to implement a new Benefit Broker and technology solutions to support Benefits Admin

If You've Got It - We Want It
8+ years in Total Rewards leadership, with deep expertise in compensation design, governance, and global scaling
Experience supporting Compensation Committees and executive compensation processes
