By optimising renewable generation, building a more intelligent grid, and empowering utilities to deliver an exceptional customer experience, our operating system is transforming the industry worldwide.\nIt’s an incredibly exciting time to work in energy. Join us on our mission to improve the lives of ONE BILLION humans within the decade and shape a cleaner, better future for everyone.\nWhere you'll fit in:\nOur benefits offering has room to grow, and we want someone to own it end to end. You'll take our benefits from where they are today to something our people genuinely value and that helps us compete for brilliant talent, without turning it into a bureaucratic maze.\nThis is a hands-on delivery role. You'll be the person who makes benefits actually work day to day, across all the countries where we employ people.\nWhat you’ll own:\nPartner with in country People Ops to help manage our benefits programmes day to day across our employing countries, including pensions, insurances, health and wellbeing, leave and any local perks.\n\nManage brokers, providers and renewals. Push for better value and a better experience for our people, and keep a close eye on cost.\n\nTrack legislation changes & keep our benefits compliant in every country we operate in, and flag anything that needs a decision early.\n\nHelp managers understand what we offer and why, so they can talk to their teams with confidence.\n\nUse data to spot what people actually use and value, and bring ideas for what we should add, change or drop.\n\nTake the lead on the day-to-day of our global benefits review: gather the data on what we offer in each country, benchmark it against the market, and help shape the recommendations that come out of it.\n\nSupport benefits as we grow into new markets, and help scope new benefits from idea to launch.\n\nKeep our benefits records, systems and vendor data clean, accurate and secure.\n\nPartner with the local People Ops team to manage our benefits platforms and push it to be genuinely good: self-serve, quick to use, and clear enough that people can sort their own benefits in a few clicks without asking anyone.\n\nWhat you’ll bring to the party:\n5 - 8 years experience running employee benefits, ideally across more than one country.\n\nA good grasp of how benefits work in practice: pensions, risk and health cover, and the tax and compliance basics that sit behind them.\n\nComfort managing vendors and renewals, and a track record of getting good value.\n\nStrong organisation. You keep lots of moving parts on track without dropping things.\n\nConfidence with data and spreadsheets, and good judgement about what the numbers mean.\n\nA self-starter mindset. You're happy owning your area without a big team around you.\n\nBuild the business case for what we invest in benefits, and show the return: what it costs, what people actually use and value, and what it does for retention and hiring.\n\nBring the numbers and the story together so leadership can make confident calls on benefits spend, and so we can explain to our people why we've invested where we have.\n\nTrack how our benefits are landing, be honest about what isn't working, and make the case to shift the money to what does.\n\n⭐ Bonus points:\nExperience in a fast-growing tech or software business.\n\nExposure to benefits globally.\n\nUnderstanding of different country payroll and tax processes\n\nFamiliarity with HRIS and benefits platforms.\n\nAre you ready for a career with us? We want to ensure you have the right tools and environment to unleash your potential. If you have any accommodation requests, please contact us at .
