Bestow is a venture-backed vertical technology platform serving major life insurers, modernizing the legacy insurance value chain through AI and automation. The company is building a dedicated Total Rewards function for the first time, consolidating compensation, equity, and benefits work that currently spans People, Finance, and Legal.
As Total Rewards Manager, you will own the full total rewards portfolio end-to-end. Key responsibilities include: configuring and maintaining Pave benchmarking (market cut, percentile, geographic tiers) and ensuring data integrity between BambooHR and Pave; auditing current compensation and benefits philosophy and market positioning; maintaining and refreshing salary bands anchored to a clear benchmarking philosophy; partnering on job leveling framework consistency; designing and executing bi-annual merit, promotion, and bonus cycles; managing equity administration in partnership with Legal and Finance, including maintaining the equity database and running refresh/promotion cycles; assessing geographic pay ranges as the workforce becomes more distributed; and owning benefits strategy including annual renewals, plan design changes, and new offering evaluation.
You will bring 5-8+ years of compensation, total rewards, or closely related HR experience, ideally with people operations roots. You need hands-on platform experience (Pave, Radford, or similar), direct equity administration experience at venture-backed or newly-public companies, benefits strategy expertise, and advanced analytical skills. Strong cross-functional partnership abilities are essential, as you'll work constantly with Finance, Legal, and the compensation committee. Bonus experience includes standing up a Total Rewards function from scratch at a similarly-sized company (100-250 employees), job architecture/leveling framework design, or insurance/fintech/regulated-industry background.
This is a hands-on, builder role where you'll set strategy and execute (Pave configuration, equity modeling, benefits renewals) in year one. Bestow offers competitive salary, equity, 100% paid-premium medical/dental/vision, lifestyle stipend, flexible PTO, parental leave, and flexible work arrangements with an optional office in Dallas.
