The posting, in Verkada's own words
archived Sep 30, 2026Who We Are
Verkada is transforming how organizations protect their people and places with an integrated, privacy-sensitive AI-powered platform that includes solutions for video security, access control, air quality sensors, alarms, intercoms, and visitor management. We’ve got serious momentum in the market: more than 30,000 customers (including 100+ of the Fortune 500), a $5.8B valuation , more than $1 billion in annualized bookings, and backing from CapitalG, Sequoia Capital, General Catalyst, Felicis Ventures, Next47 and more. Physical AI is one of the most consequential technology shifts of our time, and Verkada is at the center of it. You can look at all kinds of communities to see our platform’s impact in the world. It's the retailer that uses our agentic AI to deter theft before it happens. The warehouse that uses AI-powered alerts to make sure its team is protected on the floor with proper PPE. The school that’s alerted to a threat in real-time and triggers a lockdown in seconds, not minutes. We’re rapidly scaling this impact: today, more than 2 million Verkada devices are deployed across 170+ countries.
About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Leave of Absence Associate to own and elevate our global leave programs, ensuring employees receive a seamless and empathetic experience during some of their most important life moments. In this role, you will be the SME for leave administration and accommodations while partnering closely with People Partners, Payroll, and Benefits. You will bring operational rigor to our leave processes by improving workflows, leveraging technology and automation, strengthening reporting and analytics, and building scalable programs that can support Verkada’s continued global growth. We are committed to a thriving in-office culture. This role requires that you be on-site at one of our offices in San Mateo, CA, Salt Lake City, UT, or Tempe, AZ, five days a week.

Leave Administration & Case Management
Administer the full portfolio of leave programs globally: parental, medical, military, workers' compensation, unpaid/personal leave, and statutory leaves (FMLA, CFRA, PDL, PFL, ADA, and other state- or country-specific programs), in compliance with federal, state, local, and international requirements. Own the full leave lifecycle from intake through return-to-work. Develop and scale international leave processes, working with local People Partners, legal counsel, and vendors as Verkada expands into new markets. Support workplace accommodations, partnering with People Partners, Legal, and managers on the interactive process and complex cases. Serve as the primary liaison with disability carriers (STD/LTD), coordinating claims, escalations, and benefits continuation. Guide employees through state benefit programs (e.g., SDI, PFL) and how they interact with company policies. Deliver an outstanding, empathetic employee experience, responding promptly and accurately to leave questions and keeping employees, managers, and stakeholders informed throughout.
