Senior Reward Manager
Senior Reward Manager
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for a Senior Reward Manager to join our global HR team and take the lead on all things Reward and Benefits. This role offers a huge amount of breadth and exposure for a candidate who is ready to take the next step in their career, and is looking for a role that will be a great platform for even bigger opportunities in future.
Our business model, and therefore our HR strategy and reward structures are all in a time of transition. We’re looking for someone who can take the new structures that have been created to incentivise our most senior people (bonus and LTIP plans), and move them into the ‘embedding’ and ‘operating’ phase. And in addition, start to introduce globally cohesive structures to things like job grading, benefits structures and salary benchmarking.
This role reports to our Head of People Operations but works closely with our Chief People Officer. This is our only reward specialist role in the company, meaning it offers huge exposure but also a need to be able to be self-starting and show huge initiative. It also means working closely with our network of People Business Partners and HR Operations Specialists to get things delivered. We do work with an external Reward Consultant on our Exec Rem (Remuneration Committee prep, Directors Remuneration Reports, LTIP administration etc) and envisage they will act as a mentor to the person in this position. In the longer term the consultant will hand over more of those responsibilities, as a development/progression path for the Reward Manager.
If you’re working with, and learning from, an awesome Head of Reward, but looking for the chance to spread your wings and use all that you’ve learnt, this is probably the role for you.
The role is based in London, with up to 2 days per week working from home.
Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with the Chief People Officer (CPO) and Finance team to deliver annual processes related to Exec Leadership Team and Senior Leadership Team bonus schemes. This involves agreeing targets, confirming terms in writing, calculating actual performance, arranging payments, and confirming payments in writing.
- Provide support to individual group companies in designing and administering bonus schemes for employees below the business leader level. This includes creating guidance, templates, and supporting modelling when schemes are being changed.
- Working with an external specialist, lead the project to implement a globally consistent job grading framework across the business. This will be a complex and challenging company given our organisation structure.
- Lead the annual calculation of gender pay gap data.
- Work with HR Business Partners to support equal pay analysis processes.
- Lead global market survey submissions and assist HR Business Partners and Resourcing teams in effectively utilising the data.
- Take the lead on the global benefits strategy and purchasing, working in collaboration with procurement. Hand over day-to-day administration to HR ops.
- Lead the management of compliant pension provisions in each market, working with appropriate broker services. Hand over day-to-day administration to HR ops and payroll.
- Support the Remuneration Consultant with Remco committee activities – eg drafting Remco papers, administration of the LTIP plan (to support personal development)
ABOUT YOU
You’re good at:
- Thriving in a complex, changing environment
- Liaising with, and effectively influencing, a large number of stakeholders, at all levels of seniority
- Being self-starting and determined
- Delivering exceptional attention to detail
- Being numerate and highly analytical
- Project management and prioritisation
You’ll bring with you (experience and qualifications):
- Experience of key reward disciplines – bonus scheme design and administration, job grading, salary benchmarking
- Experience of working on change programmes eg implementing new reward structures or job grading frameworks
- Experience of working as part of complex, matrix team / business environment
WHAT YOU’LL GET
For the right candidate, we will offer a competitive salary and benefits package which includes 27 days annual holiday, private healthcare, employer contributory pension, life assurance and income protection. We also offer a host of benefits that support wellbeing including subsided gym membership, whilst our commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion sees us offer learning opportunities around DE&I, targeted mentoring programmes and the opportunity to participate in a number of active Employee Led Networks and associated events. Finally, this role will be supported with all the necessary personal development required to set someone up for success.
