Sr. Director, Global Total Rewards

Overview

As the Sr. Director, Global Total Rewards, this role reports to the Group Vice President of Global Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards & HR Operations and serves as a hands-on leader across compensation, benefits, and executive rewards for Crocs, Inc. This is a true player-coach role, requiring someone who can partner closely with the GVP to shape Total Rewards priorities while also getting into the details to build, analyze, and execute high-quality solutions.

This leader will help translate Total Rewards priorities into practical programs, tools, recommendations, and deliverables that support the business. The role includes direct involvement in compensation modeling, job offer proposals, incentive and equity recommendations, executive compensation materials, promotions, market reviews, and other day-to-day rewards decisions.

This role also supports Compensation Committee planning, materials, and recommendations, helping convert complex data and market insights into clear, actionable guidance.
