We are extraordinary people creating extraordinary experiences. The Bicester Collection was founded on a simple idea and a rebellious spirit: 12 luxury shopping destinations, 1,500 boutiques, and 1,500 colleagues representing 63 nationalities. Our people are the reason we win - and the reason we continue to grow. Supporting our 9 European Villages, our central People team is hiring a Senior Reward Manager.
The role
As part of the Reward team, you will lead the Benefits and Wellbeing across our 9 UK and European villages. The role ensures programmes are competitive, compliant and aligned to a strong employee experience focus. It also offers a clear pathway into a broader rewards role, with increasing exposure to compensation. Ideal for a benefits specialist looking to expand their scope, the role supports progression into a more integrated, end-to-end reward remit over time.

What you'll be doing
- Own and lead the end to end benefits and wellbeing strategy across Europe, ensuring programmes are competitive, compliant and aligned to the employee value proposition.
- Act as a centre of excellence for benefits, providing senior guidance to HR and building strong, trusted relationships with stakeholders across the business.
- Manage key vendor and broker partnerships, ensuring strong governance, cost effectiveness and high-quality service delivery.
- Deliver reward insights, analysis and projects, driving data-led decision making, continuous improvement and broader transformation initiatives.
- Contribute to the overall reward strategy, bringing benefits expertise alongside growing compensation accountability, while ensuring robust governance, risk management and compliance.
What we're looking for
- Proven Senior Reward professional (7–10+ years) with strong expertise across both benefits and compensation, ideally within a multi-country European environment.
- Demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders and operate autonomously in complex, fast-paced organisations.
- Solid experience in key compensation areas including job evaluation, pay structures, benchmarking and annual review cycles.
- Strong commercial and analytical capability, with advanced Excel skills and experience managing external partners (e.g. brokers, vendors, survey providers).
- Excellent communicator with sound judgement, able to translate complex reward concepts into clear, employee-centred solutions.

A warm welcome, the chance to build an ever-evolving career story, and benefits designed around your lifestyle, physical, mental and social wellbeing.
