Evaluate plan design, participation, employee engagement, vendor performance, governance practices, regulatory changes, and market trends; translate insights into practical recommendations for senior leadership. Maintain a global framework and program inventory covering eligibility, contributions, vendors, renewals, compliance obligations, key risks, and opportunities for simplification or modernization.

Manage ESPP eligibility, enrollment, purchase processes, communications, vendor coordination, payroll integration, issue resolution, reporting, and compliance support. Administer the EIP, including payroll deductions, participant support, vendor coordination, operational controls, reporting, and continuous process improvement. Coordinate with Legal, Finance, Tax, Payroll, Compliance, and external advisors on plan requirements, reporting, taxable events, country-specific considerations, and employee-facing changes.

Maintain modern governance practices, documentation, controls, calendars, dashboards, and escalation processes for retirement, savings, ESPP, and EIP programs. Monitor legislative, regulatory, tax, fiduciary, cybersecurity, data privacy, and market developments and coordinate required actions with internal and external partners. Identify operational, compliance, vendor, data, technology, and participant experience risks and recommend pragmatic solutions that strengthen controls and reduce friction.

Improve processes, reporting, reconciliations, file feeds, communications, controls, and employee service delivery for retirement and savings programs. Use data, benchmarking, vendor analytics, issue trends, automation opportunities, and employee feedback to assess effectiveness and prioritize improvements. Advance financial wellbeing efforts tied to retirement readiness, savings behavior, employee education, digital tools, and clear decision support.

Support broader Global Total Rewards priorities as needed, including health and welfare, wellness, compensation, HR operations, vendor governance, employee communications, M&A integration, new country launches, and special projects. Provide agile, hands-on support during peak periods, audits, platform implementations, renewals, open enrollment, regulatory changes, or other high-impact initiatives.
