Own the global compensation philosophy, structures, and programs, covering base salary, variable compensation, and equity.

Lead executive compensation strategy and act as the primary liaison to the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors, preparing materials, advising on program design, and collaborating with external consultants and legal counsel.

Design and evolve equity programs, including equity guidelines, refresh strategies, burn-rate and dilution management, and future equity plans.

Strengthen compensation governance and disclosure readiness to meet public-company standards, while overseeing pay equity analysis and compliance with evolving pay transparency requirements across jurisdictions.

Partner with Finance, Legal, and IT on payroll, global employment entities, employer-of-record strategy, and internal controls.

Communicate clearly and transparently with employees about compensation and benefits philosophy, explaining how and why reward decisions are made.
