Hands-on experience with equity management platforms (Carta, Shareworks, etc.) and strong understanding of cap table management, equity plan design, and global equity compliance are required. The role demands excellent cross-functional collaboration skills with Legal, Finance, HR, and Payroll teams, strong project management abilities, meticulous attention to detail, and excellent communication skills for explaining complex equity topics to diverse audiences. A CPA, CEP (Certified Equity Professional), or equivalent certification is preferred. Experience in high-growth, late-stage private companies (pre-IPO) is highly valued.
