You'll lead the global leave-of-absence program with consistency and care as volume scales. You'll manage vendor relationships globally—running RFPs, negotiating renewals, and holding brokers and carriers accountable. You'll ensure compliance with local regulations in each market, partnering with Legal, Security, and Finance on vendor onboarding, data privacy, and risk review. You'll manage the benefits budget with Finance and use utilization, cost, and sentiment data to inform decisions.
You'll report to the Head of Total Rewards and partner closely with People Operations, Payroll, Finance, Legal, and Recruiting.
