The Opportunity

We are partnering with a well-established, purpose-driven organisation seeking an experienced Remuneration Specialist for an initial 3-month contract, with the possibility of a further 3-month extension.

Working closely with senior People & Culture leaders, Finance and Payroll, you will play an important role in supporting the organisation’s remuneration frameworks, salary review processes and broader remuneration activities.

This is a hands-on, analytical position suited to someone who enjoys working with complex remuneration data, can provide meaningful insights and is confident making practical recommendations to senior stakeholders.

With an immediate start preferred, we are looking for someone who can quickly understand the organisation’s remuneration environment and make a genuine contribution from day one.

Key Responsibilities

Support the review and maintenance of salary structures, remuneration frameworks and internal salary relativities.

Coordinate annual salary review activities, including data preparation, salary modelling and recommendations.

Conduct market benchmarking and analyse remuneration data to assess salary positioning and identify inconsistencies.

Develop remuneration reports, financial modelling and meaningful insights to support decision-making.

Support job evaluations, salary classifications and remuneration adjustments.

Partner with People & Culture, Finance and Payroll to ensure remuneration changes are accurately reviewed and implemented.

Provide practical remuneration advice to business leaders and key stakeholders.

Identify opportunities to improve remuneration processes, reporting and data integrity.

About You

We are looking for an experienced remuneration professional who is highly analytical, commercially minded and comfortable working independently.

Ideally, you will bring:

Demonstrated experience in remuneration, reward, compensation or a closely related specialist function.

Strong experience supporting salary reviews, remuneration benchmarking and salary structures.

Advanced Excel skills, including the ability to analyse complex datasets and model remuneration scenarios.

Experience preparing remuneration reports, recommendations and salary analysis.

Strong attention to detail and the ability to interpret and communicate complex remuneration information.

Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders across People & Culture, Finance and Payroll.

A proactive, solutions-focused approach with the ability to deliver outcomes within tight timeframes.

Experience with job evaluation frameworks, industrial instruments or remuneration within a large or complex organisation will be highly regarded.

While experience in employee benefits would be welcomed, the primary focus of this role is remuneration, so extensive benefits experience is not essential.

What’s on Offer?

Initial 3-month contract with potential for a further 3-month extension.

Opportunity to contribute to meaningful remuneration initiatives.

Work closely with an experienced People & Culture leadership team.
