- An equity evangelist - you love helping people understand their compensation and equity, guiding them through vesting and eligibility while ensuring everything runs smoothly.

- Provide guidance and respond to employee inquiries regarding equity plans, vesting, and eligibility, developing clear and effective employee communications
- Conduct market pricing and benchmarking for new and existing roles using competitive compensation data sources (e.g., Radford, Mercer) to inform plan design
- Assist with the annual compensation review cycle (merit, bonus, equity, refresh) and support sales and incentive compensation plan administration, including eligibility audits and calculations
- Collaborate on process improvement initiatives to scale and automate compensation and equity operations
You should have
- Progressive experience in global equity administration, with hands-on knowledge of equity plan mechanics (preferably in a public or late-stage private company)
- Experience supporting broad-based compensation, including market pricing and incentive plan analysis
- Familiarity with equity administration platforms (such as Carta, Shareworks, or similar) and HRIS/payroll systems
- Strong analytical and Excel/modeling skills with demonstrated ability to manage, audit, and report on large data sets
- Experience preparing and delivering detailed reports and presentations for leadership audiences

- Advanced degree or compensation/equity certification, a plus
- Your own unique talents!
