This position serves as a strategic partner to Synchrony's leadership, providing benefit strategies, policies, and programs that align with the company's objectives in a cost-effective manner. Reporting directly to the SVP of Compensation & Benefits, you will be responsible for planning, directing, and communicating company-wide benefit programs, including health and welfare, retirement, 401(k), and wellness plans.
You will drive innovation by recommending and implementing new programs through internal analysis, modeling, and collaboration with consultants, insurance agents, brokers, and administrators. A key part of this role involves managing vendor relationships—both internal and external—to ensure the benefits function supports the company's current needs and future growth. The role requires a high-touch focus on employees, delivering effective communications and ensuring compliance with all pertinent federal and state regulations.
At Synchrony, we are proud to offer flexibility. Our way of working allows you the option to work from home near one of our Hubs or come into one of our offices.

Together, we're building a future where we can all belong, connect, and turn ideals into action. More than 50% of our workforce is engaged in our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), where community and passion intersect to offer a safe space to learn and grow.
