Are you a hands‑on, commercially minded benefits leader who thrives in complexity and genuinely loves getting into the detail and shaping the bigger picture?
If you want a role where you can build, refine, challenge, and elevate global benefits across multiple regions — this is it.
I am representing a client who are looking for a dynamic Benefits Manager to own and evolve the global benefits offering across a Global scale. This role is ideal for someone who is excited by multi‑country problem‑solving, operational excellence, and making benefits a core part of the employee experience.
This is not a “sit back and oversee” position.
This is for someone who wants to lead from the front, drive meaningful change, and work closely with a global team to deliver high‑quality outcomes.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Lead the global benefits and pensions strategy across all international locations.
* Continuously review and refine benefits to reflect legislation, market trends, cost, and employee needs.
* Ensure all global benefits programs meet regulatory, compliance, and reporting requirements.
* Own relationships with brokers, insurers, and benefits providers worldwide.
* Lead renewal cycles, negotiate terms, and manage service performance.
* Maintain a structured vendor management approach, including due diligence and risk assessment.
* Create engaging communications that help employees understand and maximise their benefits.
* Act as the expert advisor for HR business partners, managers, and employees.
* Adapt messaging for global audiences and diverse cultures.
What You Bring
* International benefits experience, ideally with significant multi‑country scope.
* Demonstrated success designing and delivering benefits and pension programs across the Globe.
* Strong technical knowledge of global benefits legislation and market norms.
* Deep experience with benefits operations — vendor management, payroll links, HRIS, and process design.
* Skilled in HR technology and data analytics; experience with automation or AI tools is an advantage.
This role is perfect for someone who is:
* A doer — action‑oriented, pragmatic, and willing to get hands‑on.
* Comfortable navigating complexity, ambiguity, and changing priorities.
* Resilient, resourceful, and solutions‑focused.
* A strong communicator who can influence at all levels.
* Detail‑driven yet able to zoom out and think strategically.
* Collaborative, but also capable of taking full ownership and running with work independently.
* Passionate about delivering a great employee experience globally.
