As a Global Compensation & Benefits Consultant, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping fair, competitive, and inspiring reward programs that help our teams thrive across the globe. In this highly visible role, you'll act as a trusted advisor to HR Business Partners, Talent Partners, and business leaders across international markets, bringing expertise in compensation, benefits, and total rewards strategy. You'll help connect our business and talent strategies, ensuring that our reward programs not only attract and retain top talent but also reflect our culture, values, and long-term growth ambitions.

What your role is

You'll consult on a wide range of global compensation and benefits topics — from guiding compensation philosophy and pay structures to ensuring our benefits frameworks stay competitive and compliant. Working closely with the Global Compensation team, you'll support key annual processes such as Performance & Rewards cycles, Competitive Reviews, and program enhancements across international markets. Your day-to-day will include advising on job evaluations and benchmarking, supporting international HR teams on compensation decisions, and providing data-driven insights to inform global reward strategies. You'll partner with local HR and Talent Acquisition to shape competitive offers and ensure internal equity across regions.

Beyond compensation, you'll take ownership of global benefits governance and analysis — maintaining a central inventory of programs by country, leading design reviews, and partnering with finance and HR to validate costs and model new initiatives. You'll also help advance strategic projects such as the EU Pay Transparency Directive implementation and other regional reward compliance efforts. As a project lead, you'll drive initiatives from concept to completion — creating work plans, aligning stakeholders, mitigating risks, and ensuring smooth execution of total rewards programs that make a measurable impact.

What you bring to the team

You'll bring 5–7 years of experience in compensation and benefits, and proven ability to design and manage reward programs that drive business results. With a strong understanding of global compensation and benefits practices, particularly across European markets, you're confident navigating complex structures, job evaluations, and incentive designs that balance competitiveness and fairness. Analytical and detail-oriented, you have advanced Excel skills and a talent for turning data into insight. You're equally comfortable modelling financial outcomes as you are presenting recommendations to senior leaders — combining quantitative precision with clear, strategic communication. You thrive in a fast-paced, matrixed environment, partnering effectively with HR, Finance, and business leaders to deliver solutions that make an impact. You bring strong project management skills, a continuous improvement mindset, and the ability to juggle competing priorities with professionalism and poise.
