Overview

The Senior Total Rewards Analyst serves as a strategic partner in designing, supporting, and enhancing global compensation and benefits programs with a strong focus for the EMEA team. A critical component of this role is the partnership with Sales Operations to ensure Sales Incentive Plans (SIP) are high-performing, competitive, and strictly aligned with the organization’s overarching compensation philosophy and long-term strategy. This role requires a balance of rigorous data modeling, cross-functional influence, and global perspective.

• Compensation & Incentives: Sales Incentive Partnership: Collaborate closely with Sales Operations to co-design and audit sales incentive programs. Act as the bridge between Sales Ops and Total Rewards to ensure commission structures drive the right behaviours while remaining consistent with global pay equity and budget strategy.
• Annual Cycle Leadership: Lead the end-to-end execution of global annual salary planning and bonus cycles, ensuring a seamless link between performance and reward.
• Global Architecture: Manage global job architecture, pay structures, and ranges. Ensure internal equity and market competitiveness as the organization scales and evolves its global footprint.
• Market Intelligence: Oversee participation in global compensation and market pricing surveys. Translate data into actionable insights to validate pay positioning across diverse markets.

• Strategic Analytics: Conduct competitive market analysis to support talent acquisition, promotions, and retention, ensuring offers are competitive yet aligned with the total rewards framework.

Benefits:

• Renewal Management: Direct the annual renewal cycle for international health, life, disability, and retirement schemes across EMEA, LATAM, and APAC.
• Regional Expertise: Manage the vendor lifecycle for specialized regions (e.g., Poland), ensuring Private Medical Care and local benefits remain market-leading.
• Employee Education: Develop and lead sessions to demystify complex topics—such as PPK/PPE participation or tax implications of cafeteria-style benefits—ensuring the "Total Rewards" value is clear to all team members.
• Compliance & Governance: Oversee the design and administration of global retirement schemes, ensuring rigorous adherence to local regulatory changes.

Strategic Partnership & Impact

• Cross-Functional Synergy: Act as a key consultant for People Business Partners, Talent Acquisition, Finance, and Sales leadership. Co-design wellness programs and analyze engagement data to measure the global impact of rewards.
• Strategic Communications: Localize communication materials to help managers and team members understand the "Total Rewards" evolution in a culturally relevant and transparent way.
