This is a hands-on, high-impact leadership role managing a team of 4+ including a Benefits lead, Compensation specialist, and Operations manager. Key responsibilities include: owning global HR Operations, Total Rewards (Compensation & Benefits), and People Analytics; developing and executing total rewards strategy aligned with company culture; leading team development and mentorship; driving AI-powered transformation of HR workflows and processes; managing operational and compliance health across international hubs (Helsinki, Belarus, Japan) and PEO relationships; architecting the People Technology roadmap with focus on HRIS (Rippling) optimization and integration; and building advanced predictive analytics to inform headcount, pay equity, and organizational health decisions.
