Global Total Rewards & Compensation Lead

The role of Global Total Rewards & Compensation Lead at Dataiku involves owning the global compensation, equity, and benefits strategy for a company of approximately 1,300 builders across 18 countries. The goal is to create programs that are competitive in AI talent markets, fair internally, scalable across borders, and financially sustainable.

What You’ll Do

• Set the strategy: Own and evolve Dataiku’s global compensation philosophy, balancing market competitiveness, internal equity, and financial discipline.
• Lead pay transparency: Define the global approach and prepare the company for new regulations, including the EU Pay Transparency Directive.
• Build the foundations: Evolve job architecture, leveling, and salary ranges with rigor but without bureaucracy, providing managers with simple tools for fair pay decisions.
• Partner on equity: Design grant guidelines, new-hire and refresh awards, and collaborate with Finance and Legal on modeling, dilution, and international tax.
• Advise the top: Present clear recommendations to executives and present equity and executive compensation to the Compensation Committee and Board.
• Run the cycles: Lead merit, promotion, and incentive cycles from modeling to execution, using scalable governance and AI-enabled workflows.
• Own global benefits: Set strategy across entities and EOR countries, leading the benefits team for day-to-day operations.

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of experience in Total Rewards or compensation, ideally in a global, high-growth tech or enterprise software company.
• Deep expertise in global compensation strategy, including salary structures, benchmarking, incentive design, and job architecture.
• Strong experience with equity across countries, with a preference for late-stage private company experience.
• Hands-on knowledge of pay transparency in Europe and North America.
• A track record of building or transforming rewards programs, not just managing them.
• Experience leading teams and influencing senior executives in lean, fast-moving environments.
• Strong analytical and modeling skills, with curiosity for AI and automation (familiarity with Workday is a plus).

Bonus points: Knowledge of UK and French benefits and pension programs.
