• Build and deliver enablement resources (e.g. calculators, FAQs, manager guides, and executive-ready presentations) that help leaders and client groups understand and apply Snap's compensation philosophy and programs

• Support the operational backbone of the equity program by drafting FAQs and employee-facing guides, while driving continuous improvement across equity operations and elevating the overall employee experience around equity

• Familiarity with compensation norms and labor market trends outside the U.S.

• Effective partner management skills, with experience navigating ambiguity across HRBPs, Talent Acquisition, Finance, and business leaders

• Genuine interest in applying AI tools to improve compensation workflows and team productivity

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Human Resources, Finance, or another related field, or equivalent years of experience

• 5+ years of compensation experience at a technology company, including end-to-end ownership of compensation programs or planning cycles

• Experience serving as a compensation business partner to client groups and/or senior leaders
