🧠 What You’ll Bring To The Party

• 5 - 8 years experience running employee benefits, ideally across more than one country.
• A good grasp of how benefits work in practice: pensions, risk, and health cover, and the tax and compliance basics that sit behind them.
• Comfort managing vendors and renewals, and a track record of getting good value.
• Strong organization. You keep lots of moving parts on track without dropping things.
• Confidence with data and spreadsheets, and good judgement about what the numbers mean.
• A self-starter mindset. You're happy owning your area without a big team around you.
• Build the business case for what we invest in benefits, and show the return: what it costs, what people actually use and value, and what it does for retention and hiring.
• Bring the numbers and the story together so leadership can make confident calls on benefits spend, and so we can explain to our people why we've invested where we have.
• Track how our benefits are landing, be honest about what isn't working, and make the case to shift the money to what does.

⭐️ Bonus Points

• Experience in a fast-growing tech or software business.
• Exposure to benefits globally.
• Understanding of different country payroll and tax processes.
• Familiarity with HRIS and benefits platforms.
