You possess strong communication skills, allowing you to effectively partner with stakeholders and hold external brokers accountable
A growth mindset helps you adapt quickly to a fast-paced environment and manage multiple priorities across different regions
You offer a strong sense of ownership and an open mind, particularly when navigating complex compliance and regulatory requirements
Apply even if your experience isn't a perfect match! At Xero, we hire based on your skills, passion, and the unique perspective you can bring to enhance our culture and team

What the job involves

The Benefits team is responsible for designing, managing, and supporting the offerings that employees rely on for their health, financial wellbeing, leave, and protection.
We work as a highly visible, coordinated group to ensure all provisions are cost-effective and easy to use. You will collaborate closely with the Director of Global Benefits, the Global Benefits Advisor, and cross-functional partners in Compensation, People Systems, Payroll, Legal, and Finance
Managing the migration to Workday for benefits configuration and carrier integrations
Creating comprehensive playbooks and self-serve processes for the People Experience teams

This involves translating strategy into action, ensuring all offerings are delivered accurately and at scale while holding vendors and brokers to high standards
As the primary owner of day-to-day operations, you will partner closely with global brokers, external vendors, and internal teams to drive seamless execution
Your work will directly shape an exceptional employee experience by ensuring our offerings remain competitive, compliant, and accessible

Our take

For a long time, high-quality financial services have been reserved for large-scale businesses. Xero solves this problem by giving small businesses, accountants, and bookkeepers access to best-in-class finance and accounting solutions.

Xero is one of the largest companies of its kind, with its promise to save time and effort for small business owners - who often don’t have in-house accounting teams - capturing interest and allowing the company to scale. It has a strong rival in Intuit QuickBooks, which offers similar services, but competes by being most effective for growing startups, and having an incredibly simple user experience.

A series of acquisitions and partnerships, including the purchase of Instafile in 2018, have consolidated Xero’s market share. The company continues to add new integrations, such as with Vehocheck Workshop Manager, and the 2023 launched Beautiful Business Fund that will help small businesses accelerate growth.
