• Providing expert advice to business leaders, HR partners and senior executives on compensation-related matters
• Ensuring compliance with relevant tax, regulatory and remuneration requirements across international markets
• Collaborating with Finance, Legal, Payroll and external advisers on reward-related projects
• Supporting the continued development of reward tools, systems and ways of working

The successful candidate will bring:

• A minimum of five years' experience within Compensation & Benefits, Total Rewards or Reward Analytics
• Strong technical compensation expertise gained within an international or complex matrix environment
• Experience managing salary review and bonus processes across multiple countries
• Excellent analytical and numerical capability with advanced Excel skills
• Strong market benchmarking and job evaluation experience
• The ability to influence and build credibility with senior stakeholders
• A pragmatic, commercial and solutions-focused approach
• Experience working with HR systems and reward technologies, ideally including Workday
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to operate autonomously
• Experience within financial services, private equity, professional services, consulting or other fast-paced commercial environments would be advantageous

Why join?

This opportunity offers the chance to join an ambitious and growing international organisation at a key stage in its evolution. You will benefit from:

• A genuinely international remit spanning Europe and North America
• Exposure to complex executive and incentive compensation structures
• Significant influence over the future development of reward strategy
• Close engagement with senior leadership and decision-makers
• A collaborative, entrepreneurial and commercially focused culture
• Long-term career development opportunities as the organisation continues its growth trajectory

This would suit either an established Compensation & Benefits specialist looking for broader international exposure, or a more senior reward professional seeking a hands-on role within a high-growth and entrepreneurial environment.
