• Develop and oversee compensation and benefits benchmarking and market intelligence, using external data to inform salary ranges, new roles, market adjustments, and expansion into new countries.
• Act as a subject-matter expert and thought partner to senior management, communicating complex compensation topics clearly, supporting complex compensation decisions and ensuring consistency and fairness across the organization and influencing decisions at the leadership level.
• Establish and oversee metrics, dashboards, and reporting to monitor compensation, performance, rewards, pay equity, and other key People-related indicators, translating data into actionable insights and recommendations.
