What's the brief?

You’ll be stepping into a future focused People function undergoing positive change and uplift. This is a business that values clarity, pace and precision and is investing in strengthening its performance and reward foundations. You’ll join a high calibre leadership group who care deeply about commercial impact, simplicity and doing work that truly enables the organisation to thrive.
You’ll have the space and autonomy to lead the reward agenda while shaping what great looks like for the future.


Is This Your Perfect Match?

You’ll be the true reward SME, partnering closely with senior leaders, operational teams and the broader People function to deliver a seamless reward experience across the full employee lifecycle. You’ll own the cycle, shape the modelling, design solutions that make sense for a complex business and operate confidently with executives who expect strong thinking and well supported recommendations. You’ll also develop and mentor your direct report, ensuring the function runs smoothly while lifting capability and impact.
This is a hands on role with strategic reach. If you love balancing detail, modelling and design work with senior influence and commercial advice, you’ll thrive here.

What You Bring – What Sets You Apart

• Reward Mastery
  Deep experience across remuneration, modelling and incentive design, ideally gained in large or complex environments.

  A comfort with detail, data and accuracy, paired with the ability to simplify complexity for leaders.
