Reporting to our Head of Total Rewards, you’ll have direct exposure to all benefits strategy and administration in this high-visibility role. You will be pivotal in shaping and executing benefits strategy, overseeing administration processes, managing leave of absence programs, ensuring compliance with regulations, and effectively communicating benefits information to our employees.

- Ensure all documentation is in compliance with regulatory standards
Communication:

- Serve as a point of contact for benefits-related inquiries and concerns
You’d be a great fit if:
