You will lead a team of benefits professionals and partner closely with People, Finance, Legal, Payroll, regional teams, vendors, brokers, and business leaders to ensure the benefits and wellbeing programs are competitive, compliant, scalable, inclusive, accessible, innovative, and locally relevant to the global workforce. This will be achieved through thoughtful program design, clear communication, strong vendor partnerships, and data-informed decision-making.

• Lead the strategy, governance, and ongoing evolution of Scopely’s global benefits portfolio, ensuring programs are competitive, inclusive, cost-effective, compliant, scalable, and aligned with local market practices.

• Oversee core benefits programs, including health and welfare, retirement, leave of absence, disability, wellbeing, and regionally relevant offerings across Scopely’s markets.
• Own benefits: budget planning, forecasting, and cost management; prepare leadership-ready analysis on performance, cost trends, utilization, risks, employee impact, vendor performance, and investment tradeoffs.
• Evaluate funding, governance, and plan design strategies across global markets, balancing employee experience, local relevance, cost, risk, compliance, and scalability.
• Lead global benefits renewals and enrollment strategy, including plan changes, stakeholder alignment, employee communications, leadership engagement, and post-enrollment analysis.
• Build strong vendor, broker, consultant, and provider relationships; work with partners to ensure service quality, innovation, issue resolution, compliance support, and value delivery.
• Strengthen Scopely’s benefits service delivery model by improving processes, systems, vendor partnerships, self-service resources, and cross-functional operating rhythms.
• Ensure benefits programs, policies, documentation, vendor processes, and operating practices are compliant, well-controlled, audit-ready, and scalable across the regions where Scopely operates.
• Provide strategic oversight for leave of absence, disability, statutory leave, and return-to-work processes, ensuring thoughtful coordination across employees, managers, People partners, Payroll, vendors, and benefit providers.
• Identify practical and responsible uses of AI, automation, analytics, and emerging technologies to improve benefits operations, reporting, communications, knowledge management, employee self-service, and decision support.
• Support benefits due diligence, integration planning, harmonization, and employee communications for acquisitions, entity changes, new market expansion, or significant organizational growth.
• Lead, coach, and develop the benefits team while building capability for future scale.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience leading global benefits programs, including benefits strategy, plan design, vendor management, renewals, employee communications, and wellbeing programs.
• Knowledge of global benefits laws, regulations, and compliance requirements (i.e. ERISA, HIPAA, FMLA, PFL, and other relevant regional, country, state, and local requirements).
• Experience supporting benefits across multiple countries or regions, with the ability to balance global consistency with local market practices.
• Experience in technology, gaming, entertainment, or another global, high-growth environment is preferred.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, lead cross-functional work, and make sound recommendations in complex situations.
• Strong employee experience mindset, with clear communication skills and the ability to translate complex benefits topics for employees, leaders, and partners.
