You'll own the day-to-day execution of our benefits, leave, wellness, rewards & recognition, and employee events programs, working closely with our VP of Employee Experience & Wellness. This role is for someone who spots gaps and fixes them without waiting to be asked, but also takes clear direction and runs with it.
