The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Rewards Contractor to join our Total Reward team at HeliosX. This is a senior, standalone role for someone who has owned a reward function previously. We are looking for someone who can own the function on an interim basis while we hire for the permanent role. An SME who can roll up their sleeves on complex data, partner with the Executive Leadership Team on executive compensation, and help shape the future of how we reward our people globally.
What you’ll do
- Lead the mid-year compensation review for all employees from modelling and data validation through to HRIS upload and employee comms.
- Own equity awards and pensions re-enrolment (in partnership with Payroll).
- Manage international benefits across Canada and the Netherlands.
- Maintain and evolve the HeliosX Reward Framework: philosophy, principles, job sizing, market positioning, and benchmarking.
- Lead salary survey submissions with Mercer and AON.
- Drive Executive Compensation (VP+) design in partnership with AON Radford.
- Lead the Future of Equity project.
- Produce reward MI and dashboards; contribute to statutory reporting (Gender Pay Gap, Equal Pay).
What you’ll bring to HeliosX
- You’ve run a standalone Reward function before and don't need a senior person above you to get things done.
- You have solid US compensation and benefits experience.
- You’re well‑versed in Mercer IPE job evaluation methodology.
- Your Excel / Google Sheets skills are strong: modelling, pivot tables, lookups are second nature.
- You’re comfortable working with ambiguity and imperfect data.
- You communicate complex reward topics clearly to non‑specialist audiences.
