• Design and maintain scalable compensation structures, including job architecture, leveling frameworks, global compensation bands, and decision-making principles across diverse functions and markets.
• Lead the development and governance of equity and long-term incentive programs, including grant strategies, refresh cycles, promotion grants, and partnership with Finance and Legal on program design.

• Build scalable compensation tooling, processes, and governance that introduce rigor while preserving speed and flexibility in a high-growth environment.
• Identify opportunities to use AI and automation to improve the efficiency, consistency, and quality of compensation workflows and decision-making.
• Own the global benefits and total rewards strategy, balancing competitive offerings with regional requirements, operational scalability, and sustainable cost management.
• Partner closely with Operations, People, Finance, Legal, and senior leadership to align rewards strategy with organizational growth and evolving business needs.

• 5+ years of professional experience in compensation, total rewards, or a closely related discipline, ideally within a high-growth technology company operating across multiple countries.
• Demonstrated experience owning or significantly contributing to equity and long-term incentive programs.
• Proven ability to design, implement, and evolve compensation systems that can scale with rapid organizational growth.
• Strong experience developing job architectures, leveling frameworks, compensation bands, and related governance structures.
• Experience working effectively in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where systems and processes may need to be built or redesigned from the ground up.
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills, with the ability to interpret complex compensation data and translate findings into practical, strategic recommendations.
• A first-principles approach to problem solving, with the ability to challenge assumptions and develop thoughtful solutions to complex rewards challenges.
• Hands-on, builder-oriented mindset with a willingness to take ownership from strategy through implementation.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, with confidence partnering with senior leaders and navigating sensitive, high-impact decisions.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to make complex compensation concepts clear and actionable.
• High standards, strong judgment, and a demonstrated sense of ownership and accountability.

• Remote-first working environment with a globally distributed team and a focus on talent rather than location.
• Opportunity to shape compensation and total rewards strategy within a rapidly scaling, AI-focused technology environment.
• Annual discretionary professional development stipend to support learning and career growth.
