Global Benefits Specialist

About the role

Celonis is looking for a hands-on, proactive and detail-oriented Global Benefits Specialist to join its Global Total Rewards team in Madrid. You will help execute and optimise the employee benefits footprint across the EMEA region, from managing vendor relationships and contract renewals to working with Finance on premium payments and keeping the benefits inventory up to date.

Key responsibilities

• Own and manage global benefit offers such as gym partnerships and life insurance.
• Act as operational owner of EMEA benefit programs (health insurance, pensions, life/disability coverage, wellness allowances and regional perks), maintaining a complete, up-to-date benefits inventory and catalog across EMEA entities.
• Support the end-to-end renewal cycle for regional brokers and benefit providers, coordinating timelines, reviewing plan terms and gathering employee data.
• Coordinate enrollments, changes and terminations with local brokers and providers, and partner with People Operations and Payroll so deductions and tax implications are accurate.
• Be a key point of contact for employee questions about EMEA benefits, policies and claim escalations.
• Ensure compliance with local labour laws, statutory requirements and reporting standards across EMEA jurisdictions.
• Identify operational bottlenecks, standardise processes across countries and support the Total Rewards team on strategic global benefit initiatives.

Required profile

• 2-4 years of hands-on experience in HR operations, benefits or total rewards.
• Familiarity with statutory versus supplementary benefit structures in major EMEA markets such as Spain, Germany, the UK, France and the Netherlands.
• Attention to detail, structured data management and the ability to manage recurring operational deadlines with minimal supervision.

What we offer

• Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and merit-based refresh grants.
• Parental leave: 24 weeks fully paid for primary carers and 12 weeks for supporting carers, from day one.
• Unlimited PTO in applicable regions and a flexible hybrid work model.
• Learning through a 70-20-10 framework, mentorship and a dedicated learning platform.
• Wellbeing support including Wellhub memberships, mental health counselling and Wellness Weeks.
• Paid time off for volunteering during annual Impact Days.
