- Produce RemCo papers, exec‑level analysis, and pay gap reporting.
- Manage key suppliers (e.g., pensions, benchmarking, benefits) and provide expert advice to HR and leadership.
- Balance strategic projects with operational delivery in a lean environment.
Qualifications
- You have proven standalone or lead reward experience in a similar organization.
- Strong technical grounding across compensation, benchmarking and job evaluation.
- Advanced Excel skills and confident working with complex data.
