Head of Rewards

Opportunity

Stub Hub is on a mission to redefine the live event experience on a global scale. Whether someone is looking to attend their first event or their hundredth, we’re here to delight them all the way from the moment they start looking for a ticket until they step through the gate. The same goes for our sellers. From fans selling a single ticket to the promoters of a worldwide stadium tour, we want Stub Hub to be the safest, most convenient way to offer a ticket to the millions of fans who browse our platform around the world.

We are looking for a Head of Total Rewards who will build the compensation, benefits, and equity infrastructure that Stub Hub needs to win as a talent destination, as a public company, and as a global marketplace. Our Total Rewards ecosystem needs a complete reimagination: a compensation philosophy grounded in transparency and equity, a benefits strategy that reflects who our employees actually are, an equity program that is meaningful and well understood, and the AI‑powered tools and analytics to run it all with rigor and speed.

Reporting to the Chief Human Resources Officer, the Head of Total Rewards is a senior leadership role with both strategic scope and hands‑on operational depth. This leader will own the design, rebuild, and ongoing evolution of Stub Hub’s global compensation, benefits, and equity programs, serving as the primary advisor to the CHRO, CFO, and Compensation Committee of the Board on all rewards matters, while also rolling up their sleeves to build frameworks, run cycles, and get things done.

• Design and own Stub Hub's global Total Rewards strategy, establishing a clear compensation philosophy that is competitive, equitable, transparent, and aligned to our business objectives and talent strategy
• Rebuild job architecture from the ground up: develop a consistent leveling framework, job family structure, and career bands that scale globally and bring clarity to how we pay and develop people
• Lead the development of pay transparency practices and frameworks, positioning Stub Hub ahead of emerging regulatory requirements (including EU Pay Transparency Directive and evolving U.S. state‑level disclosure laws)
• Serve as a trusted strategic advisor to the CHRO, CFO, and executive leadership on all compensation, benefits, and equity matters

• Design and administer competitive base pay structures, short‑term incentive programs, and variable compensation plans across all employee populations and geographies
• Own and lead annual compensation planning cycles, including merit, promotion, and bonus modeling, ensuring equitable distribution of rewards and alignment to performance
• Build and maintain robust compensation benchmarking practices using market survey data, ensuring Stub Hub remains externally competitive and internally fair across levels and geographies
• Develop clear manager enablement tools and HRBP training so that compensation decisions are made consistently, confidently, and with data
• Partner closely with Finance and Legal on budgeting, headcount modeling, and regulatory compliance related to compensation

• Equity administration is one of this role’s most critical and immediate mandates. Stub Hub is navigating the transition from private company equity practices to the rigorous standards required of a NYSE‑listed public company, and the complexity of our equity program demands focused, expert leadership from day one.
• Own the private‑to‑public equity transition end‑to‑end
