  • Partner with the CHRO to prepare materials for and present to the Board Compensation Committee; provide external benchmarking, pay-for-performance insights, and risk / compliance guidance
  • Maintain competitive market intelligence (surveys, biotech equity practices), and advise on underwater equity, refresh approaches, and executive offers / retention mechanisms

  • Ensure ADP WFN and integrated modules (HR, payroll, benefits, talent, time & attendance) support process scalability and data integrity
  • Stand up or refine processes across the employee lifecycle (hire-to-retire), including onboarding / offboarding, employee records, policy execution, compliance, and multi-state / global payroll in partnership with Legal / Finance
  • Own vendor ecosystem (benefits administration, brokers, payroll, HR tech); negotiate SLAs and performance
  • Deliver operational excellence that improves employee experience while ensuring accuracy, audit readiness, and regulatory compliance
  • Drive continuous innovation and intelligent automation across all HR systems and processes to enhance scalability, efficiency, and data accuracy as Dyne grows
  • People Analytics & Workforce Insights

  • Build Dyne’s people analytics strategy and operating model with data pulled from ADP WFN and integrated sources—standardize definitions, data pipelines, secure governance, and self-serve dashboards
  • Provide recurring, decision‑grade insights : headcount planning, hiring funnel analytics, DEI metrics, rewards effectiveness, engagement / retention risk, organization health, and productivity
  • Partner with Finance on workforce planning, scenario modeling, and budget alignment
  • Leadership & Governance

  • Lead and scale the team across Total Rewards, People Ops (especially the ADP domain), and Analytics; establish clear operating rhythms and SLAs
  • Serve as thought partner to CHRO / CFO and a credible voice with the Compensation Committee
