We’re looking for a Director of Total Rewards to lead and evolve our global rewards programs during a period of change and increasing need for greater clarity, transparency, and consistency.

This is a player-coach role with broad ownership across compensation, benefits, and aspects of equity. You’ll lead a team of two Benefits Managers while remaining hands-on in designing, operating, and improving core programs.

The foundation is in place, but there is a clear need to bring greater consistency, clarity, and transparency to how rewards are managed globally. This includes evolving job architecture, strengthening governance, and preparing for emerging regulatory requirements such as the EU Pay Transparency Directive.

This role is well suited for someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity, making pragmatic improvements, and driving impact without needing a perfect starting point.

What You’ll Do:
Lead and Evolve Total Rewards

•
Own the global total rewards approach and drive targeted improvements across compensation, benefits, and equity

•
Define and refine a clear Total Rewards philosophy aligned to business context and constraints

•
Bring greater consistency and rigor to how programs are designed and applied across regions

Own Compensation Programs (Hands-On)

•
Lead annual and off-cycle compensation processes (merit, promotions, adjustments)

•
Maintain and evolve salary structures, ensuring alignment to market and internal equity

•
Partner with Finance and People teams on budgeting, modeling, and decision support

•
Oversee compensation-related reporting and compliance requirements, including country-specific needs (e.g., France Gender Equality Index)

Advance Job Architecture and Leveling

•
Evolve and maintain job architecture, including leveling frameworks and scope definitions

•
Ensure alignment to market data and consistent application across the organization

•
Partner with PBPs and leadership to support calibration and decision-making

Prepare for Pay Transparency Requirements

•
Lead readiness efforts for the EU Pay Transparency Directive

•
Establish processes and governance to support pay equity analysis and transparency requirements

•
Partner cross-functionally to ensure compliance while maintaining practical, scalable approaches

Lead Benefits Strategy and Team

•
Manage and develop a team of two Benefits Managers supporting multiple regions

•
Support the evolution of the team over time, including opportunities to broaden scope across compensation and benefits

•
Oversee global benefits programs, ensuring competitiveness, compliance, and operational effectiveness

•
Evaluate broker relationships and support or lead an RFP process as needed

•
Begin shaping a more cohesive global benefits strategy

Support Equity and Governance

•
Partner with leadership to clarify roles, processes, and governance related to equity programs

•
Contribute to evolving the company’s approach to equity as part of the broader rewards strategy

•
Support the establishment or refinement of governance forums (e.g., Compensation Committee)

Partner with Senior Leadership

•
Work closely with People, Finance, and executive stakeholders to inform decisions with data and perspective

•
Bring clarity and direction to discussions that may not always have well-defined inputs

•
Influence outcomes through strong judgment, communication, and follow-through

•
Operate effectively in an environment where priorities can shift quickly

What You Bring:
•
8–12+ years of experience across Total Rewards, Compensation, and/or Benefits in a global environment

•
Experience operating as a hands-on leader with end-to-end ownership of rewards programs

•
Strong knowledge of European rewards practices, including France

•
Experience evolving job architecture and leveling frameworks

•
Familiarity with regulatory requirements and reporting obligations in the EU

•
Experience with Workday or similar HRIS platforms, including enabling or optimizing compensation processes

•
Understanding of performance management frameworks and their linkage to compensation, calibration, and rewards decisions

•
Comfort navigating ambiguity and influencing stakeholders across varying levels of alignment

•
Ability to balance strategic thinking with operational execution

•
Strong analytical skills and sound judgment on internal equity and market competitiveness

•
Experience supporting or partnering with executive-level decision-making

Why This Role:
This is an opportunity to stabilize, simplify, and meaningfully improve how Total Rewards operates.

You’ll have:

•
Broad ownership across Total Rewards

•
A team to lead and develop

•
Exposure to senior leadership and meaningful decision-making

•
The ability to shape foundational elements like job architecture, pay transparency, and governance

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being hands-on, can navigate ambiguity, and brings clarity through practical problem-solving.
