Annual Programs & Regional Support

• Own regional execution of annual merit, bonus, and equity/LTI cycles, partnering with Workday Team and People Services to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
• Serve as the primary compensation partner for local markets, accounting for statutory requirements, local practices, and cultural nuances.
• Advise on compensation for new hires, promotions, internal moves, and organizational changes.

• Drive process improvement through automation and standardization.
• Ensure adherence to global compensation policies, governance standards, and local requirements, with sound documentation and audit trails.

Other

• Perform other duties and responsibilities as assigned to support evolving business and Total Rewards needs.

About You

• Bachelor's degree in HR, Finance, Business, Economics, Mathematics, or related field.
• Minimum 8 years of compensation/Total Rewards experience with specialized depth in compensation practices, policies, and technologies.

• Strong analytical skills and advanced spreadsheet proficiency across Google Sheets and Excel (pivot tables, lookups, data analysis); experience with compensation survey data and market-pricing methodologies.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence, negotiate, and advise senior stakeholders across countries and time zones.

Preferred Experience

• Experience in a global technology, SaaS, cybersecurity, or high-growth organization.
• Proficiency with Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs, Slides) and Workday (or similar HRIS); survey providers such as Aon/Radford.
• Familiarity with job architecture, incentive programs, and leading annual merit/bonus/equity cycles.
• Knowledge of compensation regulations across multiple APAC countries.
