Manager, Reward Consulting in London

Frazer Jones is delighted to be partnering with a leading global professional services organisation, renowned for its expertise in advising some of the most high‑profile UK and international businesses. The firm has built a market‑leading reputation in executive compensation and board advisory, supporting clients through increasingly complex governance, regulatory and investor landscapes. With a long‑standing and prestigious client portfolio – spanning FTSE listed organisations, high‑growth businesses and global enterprises – this is a team that sits at the forefront of executive reward strategy.

Due to continued growth, the business is looking to appoint a Manager within its Executive Compensation practice. This represents a unique opportunity to join a high‑performing, intellectually rigorous environment where you will work alongside some of the most experienced practitioners in the market. The role combines client leadership, technical depth, and strategic advisory – offering exceptional exposure to senior stakeholders and real influence on some of the most critical remuneration decisions organisations make. The culture is collaborative, inclusive and high‑trust, with a strong emphasis on development, progression and professional autonomy.

Working within a specialist Executive Compensation consulting team, you will advise clients on a broad range of board‑level and senior leadership reward matters. You will play a central role in delivering strategic projects, while also building and leading client relationships and contributing to the growth of the practice. This is a highly varied role spanning both strategic design and hands‑on delivery, with significant exposure to Remuneration Committees, Boards and senior executives.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading and supporting the design of executive remuneration strategies, ensuring alignment with corporate performance and shareholder expectations
• Advising on incentive plan structures, including the selection of performance measures and modelling performance outcomes
• Supporting the design and implementation of cash and equity‑based incentive plans, incorporating tax, accounting and governance considerations
• Drafting and reviewing Directors’ Remuneration Reports and other regulatory disclosures
• Providing benchmarking analysis for executive and non‑executive director pay
• Preparing high‑quality Remuneration Committee papers and supporting board discussions
• Engaging with institutional investors and advising on investor relations matters related to executive pay
• Building strong client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor on complex reward matters
• Contributing to business development activity, including proposal development and client growth initiatives
• Collaborating with wider specialist teams across reward, share schemes and global mobility

What we’re looking for:

You will bring demonstrable experience within executive compensation, ideally gained in a consulting environment or a specialist in‑house reward function supporting senior leadership and board‑level remuneration. You will have a strong technical grounding in executive pay, alongside the commercial awareness and judgement required to operate credibly with senior stakeholders.

Experience and capabilities will include:

• Proven experience advising on executive remuneration for listed or large, complex organisations
• Strong technical knowledge of UK executive remuneration regulation and governance requirements
• Experience across incentive design, performance metrics, and remuneration disclosures
• Ability to analyse complex data and translate it into clear, commercially relevant insight
• Experience preparing board‑level materials and engaging with senior stakeholders
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the confidence to influence and challenge where appropriate
• A highly organised and proactive approach, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to thrive within team‑based delivery environments

What they’re offering:

A rare opportunity to work at the forefront of executive reward, advising some of the most influential organisations in the UK and globally. Exposure to board‑level and Remuneration Committee decision‑making. A highly respected and market‑leading executive compensation practice. Clear progression opportunities within a growing and high‑performing team. The chance to develop deep technical expertise while also building client leadership capability. A collaborative, inclusive culture that genuinely supports development and progression. Flexible and hybrid working environment with a central London base.
