HR Operations and Total Rewards Manager

NetBrain is in a growth phase, and that includes the People Experience team. This is a newly created role designed to allow HR leadership and our Business Partners to focus on their specialty areas rather than carrying a broad operational scope.

We need a dedicated owner for the operational engine of People Experience, someone who can build and manage the systems, programs, and processes that keep HR running accurately and compliantly at scale. This includes owning HRIS, comp and merit cycles, lifecycle processes, compliance, and HR analytics, with benefits oversight as part of the portfolio.
