  • Oversee global background verification processes and support M&A communications from a Teammate Success perspective

This is not a complete list of responsibilities, and the scope of the role may evolve with the needs of the team and business.

What We're Looking For:

  • 10+ years of relevant experience, with at least 3 years managing a high-volume HR service or shared services team and a Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent combination of education and experience), required

  • Strong expertise in India HR compliance, benefits, and payroll operations

  • Proven experience navigating global leave policies, accommodations, and international HR compliance standards

  • Exceptional skills in Google Sheets and process documentation; strong familiarity with HRIS (Workday strongly preferred)
