Coordinate payroll inputs, leave administration, and benefits support with internal teams and external providers.

Serve as a day-to-day operational contact for employees, managers, local providers, and employers of record (EORs); resolve queries, monitor service delivery, and escalate complex or nonstandard matters.

Support new-country and entity launches by coordinating assigned operational workstreams for employment processes, systems, payroll, benefits, and employee support, including transitions from EOR arrangements.

Partner with Global Mobility to coordinate documentation and milestones for immigration, work authorization renewals, relocations, and international transfers.

Support managers through performance reviews, promotion cycles, talent reviews, and development programs by explaining established processes, coordinating activities, and tracking deadlines.

Maintain process guides, employee resources, and compliance calendars, partnering with specialist teams on reporting and audit requirements.

Use employee feedback and operational reporting to identify service gaps, resolve recurring issues, and improve the employee experience.

Implement process improvements, automation, and system enhancements within established global standards and local requirements.

Collaborate across countries and time zones, maintaining effective handoffs and close alignment with U.S.-based peers and the central PX team.
