Job Description
ROLE
This isn’t going to be your typical “total rewards” job. Sure, we want you to take a data-driven and innovative approach to design effective and culturally aligned and compelling compensation and benefits. We also want you to design and implement a wide range of effective total rewards practices, recognition vehicles, and “workplace” of the future resources and perks.
But this role is much more than that. Your passion and curiosity will help us figure out how to design a “pay-for-performance” framework in a world where managers would rather rate restaurants than people. You will also help us build and drive genuine sustained engagement with top talent in super-competitive and diverse markets globally (we’re in a lot of countries and cultures) through different programs and tools. You’ve been around the total rewards block once or twice but you aspire to make your block much bigger and richer (pun intended) and stretch yourself to do the best work of your career.
Still interested? Here are some of the more important responsibilities we’re looking for the talented individual in this role to do:
WHAT A DAY IS LIKE:
· Collaborate with colleagues and internal customers to design and implement innovative solutions based on data-driven needs assessments in the areas of employee engagement, performance-based and culturally anchored recognition and rewards (including cash, equity, benefits and workspace perks and enhancements).
· On a day-to-day basis, you’ll consult with managers, HR business partners and recruiters to ensure equitable pay decisions are being made, including helping managers to create or update role descriptions and align them to the right compensation ranges.
· Key partners will include but not limited to HR business partners, recruiters, People Ops, Finance, Sales Ops, Legal. You’ll need to be flexible logistically and culturally as your partners are spread across the globe.
· You’ll also typically be the first point of contact for US and Canadian employees who have questions about their benefits. You’ll also leverage and manage our benefits broker and self-help resources (which of course, you’ll be incented to improve) while still ensuring high levels of employee/customer delight.
· Manage Tradeshift’s recurring salary, bonus and equity reviews. Build robust data models and analysis leading into the review planning cycles; develop and manage user-intuitive tools and resources available for the organization’s use during compensation planning.
· Review relevant market data and practices and apply them to rewards structures and programs in a way that makes sense to Tradeshift. This would include participating in multiple market surveys.
· We use Workday as our single source of employee truth. Prior Workday experience is a plus but more importantly, you’ll use Workday to analyze data and apply insights to help the organization, your People & Culture colleagues and managers/leaders, in particular, to make the best decisions regarding people. You’ll also help us use Workday to significantly improve total rewards-related business processes.
· Think and act big- always thinking and acting in ways that scale for a dynamic globally dispersed organization whether it be systems, tools, and/or processes. At the same time, you have a keen attention to detail and quality, a statistics-oriented approach to reviewing data, and are extremely process-oriented.
· Evaluate benefit renewal costs and create premium cost sharing model; present results to relevant leadership; manage the annual Open Enrollment process; and, analyze enrollments vs modelled projections and resulting costs after Open Enrollment.
· Really innovate in getting work done whether it’s with programs, communications, education or training, data analysis and insights, and systems.
