Key skills for this role
Eikon Therapeutics is seeking a Stock Administration Senior Manager to lead and scale the company’s equity administration function during a period of significant growth and increased regulatory complexity. This role will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of equity program administration, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and operational excellence as the company transitions to operating as a public company. The Director will partner closely with senior leadership across Finance, Legal, Total Rewards, Payroll, HR Operations, and external vendors, translating company strategy into effective equity administration practices. This role requires a strategic, detail-oriented leader who can operate in ambiguity, make sound decisions with long-term impact, and direct operational execution across multiple stakeholders.
You are a strategic, battle-tested stock administration leader who thrives in complex, fast-moving environments. You bring deep expertise in equity programs and understand the importance of precision, controls, and compliance - particularly as companies scale toward or operate as public entities. You are comfortable partnering with senior leaders, reconciling differing stakeholder perspectives, and guiding decisions that have lasting impact on employees and the organization. You balance hands-on execution with strategic oversight, and you enjoy building scalable processes, developing teams, and continuously improving how equity programs are administered and communicated.
Lead the company’s stock administration function, overseeing all aspects of equity plan administration, including grants, vesting, exercises, releases, cancellations, and terminations.
Oversee administration of the company’s equity programs, including stock options, RSUs, and ESPPs.
Partner closely with the rest of Finance to ensure accurate data inputs, compliance with internal controls, and proper accounting treatment.
