• Partner with HRIS, Payroll, Finance, Total Rewards, and vendors to ensure accurate data feeds, eligibility management, contribution processing, reconciliation, reporting, and Workday integration.
• Advise senior leadership on retirement plan strategy, fiduciary considerations, regulatory developments, operational risk, participant impact, and opportunities to strengthen plan effectiveness.
• Support firm growth, new entities, workforce changes, and M&A integration through retirement plan due diligence, design alignment, harmonization, vendor readiness, and participant transition planning.
• Identify and lead opportunities to modernize, automate, and scale retirement operations through process redesign, stronger controls, analytics, vendor capabilities, and system integration.
• Lead and develop retirement team members through technical guidance, prioritization support, coaching, and performance feedback.
