About the Role
Our client is splitting a large global business off from its parent company. About 6,000 employees are affected, most of them outside the US. We need a hands-on benefits professional to help move benefits plans and providers to the new company. You'll work directly with the UK-based benefits lead, during his workday. This is a tactical, fast-paced role. The UK lead will explain each country's rules. Your job is to keep the work organized and moving.
What You'll Do
· Organize and track benefits transition work across many countries, including Turkey, China, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka.
· Coordinate with benefits vendors and providers as plans move to the new company.
· Manage and track about 260 documents that need signatures.
· Keep tracking spreadsheets current, since there is no access to Workday or ADP Global.
· Work with outside partners, including a firm supplying employee data during the transition.
· Flag risks, gaps, and deadlines to the UK lead before they become problems.
· Help the business meet its planned launch date of November 1.
What You Bring
Required
· Global Benefits experience: plan administration, vendor coordination, or benefits operations.
· Able to work UK business hours for the full assignment.
· Strong organization and follow-through. You can track many moving pieces at once.
· Clear written and spoken communication.

Preferred
· Experience with M&A, a divestiture, or a business separation.
· Total compensation background.
· Experience working with vendors in several countries.
Why This Role
· Immediate, high-impact work on a major global transition.
· Fully remote.
· The client may extend the contract beyond 4 months.
