The Director of Global People Operations & Total Rewards exists to design, build, and govern the modern operational backbone of Sonatype’s human capital infrastructure. This role is a strategic intersection of corporate data systems engineering, international compensation architecture, and scalable service delivery.

In this role, you will have absolute ownership over the global tech stack configuration, international total rewards structures, data integrity, and compliance guardrails across our distributed workforce. Operating as the organization's preeminent compensation and systems authority, you will eliminate structural process noise and equip managers with the self-service tooling required to lead high-performance teams. Your success is measured by the scalability of our corporate operating model, the market competitiveness of our compensation architecture, and the removal of operational friction across the global employee lifecycle.
