  • Oversee internal audits and maintain accurate records

Total Rewards & Benefits:

  • Develop and manage compensation structures and incentive plans
  • Oversee benefits administration including health, dental, vision, retirement, and payroll
  • Align career pathing and total rewards with industry benchmarks

Additional Duties:
