About the Role
A senior equity operations role responsible for owning and scaling a global equity program from the ground up. Core responsibilities include cap table management, validating vested and exercised options and warrants, implementing and optimizing Shareworks, and navigating multi-jurisdictional complexity including UK activity. The ideal candidate thinks beyond day-to-day administration — proactively futureproofing equity infrastructure for post-IPO realities and connecting Shareworks data to downstream accounting and financial impacts. An exciting opportunity to build a team and process from scratch, with significant structuring opportunities across multiple jurisdictions alongside a world-class team.

Ensure Shareworks source data is accurately connected to downstream accounting and financial reporting systems
Build and document equity operations processes and controls from the ground up
Manage equity activity across multiple jurisdictions, including the UK, ensuring local compliance requirements are met
Partner closely with finance, legal, and accounting teams to support equity-related reporting and audits
Think proactively about post-IPO equity structures, including the transition of RSUs to single-trigger vesting, and ensure the program is set up to scale accordingly
Hire and develop a high-performing equity operations team over time
What We're Looking For
Experience in equity operations or stock plan administration, ideally at a high-growth technology company
Hands-on experience with Shareworks, with implementation experience a strong plus
Deep knowledge of equity instruments including stock options, RSUs, and warrants

Experience validating option vesting schedules and exercise activity
Ability to issue share certificates and manage related compliance processes

Strong attention to detail and comfort working with complex, high-stakes data
Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills, particularly with finance, legal, accounting, and tax teams
CEP (Certified Equity Professional) designation required
GPHR (Global Professional in Human Resources) designation is a plus
Why This Role
Build a team and equity operations function from scratch, in the way it should be done
