Reward Analyst

We’re looking for a curious, data‑driven Reward Analyst to join our Human Resources team. This is a newly created role—an opportunity to shape how we use reward data across a complex, data‑rich organisation. You’ll turn numbers into narratives, uncover insights that influence decision‑making, and help drive meaningful change. Working closely with the Head of Reward, HR Business Partners, and senior stakeholders, you’ll act as a trusted advisor who brings clarity, challenge, and commercial awareness to every conversation. If you enjoy transforming data into stories that matter, this role gives you the platform to make a real impact.

What You’ll Do

• Reward Analytics & Reporting
  • Analyse reward data to uncover trends and tell compelling, actionable stories.
  • Manipulate and interpret compensation data, presenting insights in clear, accessible formats.
  • Produce accurate and timely management information for HR, senior leadership, and regulatory bodies—including gender pay gap reporting and annual earnings submissions.
  • Support reporting requirements for our sister UK company, Raymond James Financial International.
  • Use external benchmarking tools (e.g., Aon’s Radford McLagan) to gather and interpret market data.
• Reward Operations & Governance
  • Support the Chief People Officer and Head of Reward with preparing papers for the Remuneration Committee.
  • Managing the annual compensation cycle (Oct–Dec), including ownership of the SecureSheet portal and vendor relationship.
  • Annual reviews of bonus schemes in partnership with senior leaders.
  • Monitoring compensation trends in collaboration with internal Recruitment.
  • Participating in external reward forums, particularly within Wealth Management.
  • Contributing to policy development.
• Stakeholder Support & Capability Building
  • Coach and train colleagues on benchmarking and reward analytics.
  • Build strong relationships across HR and the wider business, supporting and challenging initiatives through data‑driven insights.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience
  • Proven ability to manipulate, interpret, and translate data into actionable insights.
  • Comfortable working independently under pressure and adapting to shifting priorities.
  • Experience in medium or large commercial organisations; financial or professional services experience is a strong advantage.
  • Familiarity with HRIS systems (Oracle experience is a plus but not essential).
  • A track record of driving process improvements and implementing change.
  • Experience building cross‑functional networks and influencing stakeholders.
  • Strong understanding of risk management and regulatory compliance.
  • Confident working knowledge of HR processes and troubleshooting operational issues.
• Skills & Attributes
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
  • Excellent Excel capability, including charts and data visualisation.
  • Power Query proficiency is an advantage (training available).
  • Ability to critically evaluate information from multiple sources.
  • Commitment to best‑practice analytics and “one version of the truth.”
  • Strong communication and stakeholder‑management skills.
  • Highly organised, methodical, and detail‑oriented.
  • Resilient, calm, and effective under pressure.

Why Join Us?

This is a rare opportunity to shape a new function, influence strategic decisions, and work with leaders who value insight, curiosity, and continuous improvement. You’ll be part of a collaborative HR team in a business that recognises the power of great data.
