• Identify opportunities to enhance reporting, strengthen controls, improve automation, and elevate the overall participant experience.

• Contribute to special projects involving equity administration, executive compensation, compensation programs, governance initiatives, and process improvement efforts.

• Experience working in a public company environment.

• Experience supporting equity compensation programs, stock-based compensation accounting, public company reporting, compensation administration, or related governance and compliance activities.

• Exposure to ASC 718 stock-based compensation accounting, equity reconciliations, disclosures, reporting, audit support, or related activities.

• Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.

• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships across a broad range of stakeholders.

• Advanced Excel skills and comfort working with data, reporting, and systems.
