• Process, validate, and reconcile equity transactions across equity administration platforms, payroll, and the general ledger, ensuring data integrity, accuracy, and timely resolution of discrepancies.
• Partner with Legal, HR, Payroll, Tax, and Finance to administer Discord's global equity programs and support ongoing processes that ensure accurate record-keeping, withholding, reporting, and reconciliation across all equity data.
• Maintain complete and reliable participant mobility data by tracking work locations and mobility history, and reconciling records across payroll and HRIS systems.
• Provide a high level of service to employees, management, and stakeholders on equity plan questions; design and deliver educational sessions and communications about Discord's equity programs.
• Manage the quarterly calendar of stock administration activities and prepare year-end tax information for IRC 6039 reporting.
• Ensure SOX compliance across all aspects of the equity plan — including documentation, testing, and audit support — and ensure all equity compensation is administered per plan terms and conditions.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in stock plan administration, with experience at both a private and public company.
• Experience with global equity plans and managing an equity administration system.
• A passion for equity and helping employees understand their equity compensation.
