As our North America Benefits Manager, you'll own the day-to-day delivery and continued evolution of our benefits programs across the U.S. and Canada, spanning health and welfare, retirement and leave. This is a stand‑alone management‑level role , so we're looking for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves as much as thinking strategically. You'll be comfortable moving between the detail and the bigger picture: solving an employee issue one moment, partnering with vendors or Finance the next, and then helping shape how our benefits offering should evolve for the future. You'll be trusted to take ownership, use your judgment and drive things forward , while recognizing when an issue requires broader alignment or escalation.

Get into the detail when needed to troubleshoot issues, solve problems and ensure our programs work smoothly for employees. Make benefits easier to understand. Create simple, engaging communications and education that help employees understand, value and make the most of their benefits. Lead our vendor partnerships. Work closely with benefits providers and internal partners to drive strong delivery, resolve issues and continuously improve the employee experience. Be our leave expert. Serve as the subject matter expert for U.S. and Canadian leave administration, partnering with external providers to deliver compliant, compassionate and consistent experiences. Manage risk with confidence. Stay ahead of regulatory requirements, identify potential issues early and use sound judgment to determine what you can resolve independently and when leadership needs to be engaged.
