THE ROLE

Reporting into the Head of Total Reward, this role will play a key part in shaping and enhancing the organisation’s reward strategy across remuneration, benefits, performance, and equity.

This is an opportunity for a reward specialist who enjoys working through complexity, challenging existing approaches, and creating practical solutions that support both employees and the broader business.

Key responsibilities include:

• Lead and support total reward initiatives across compensation, benefits, performance, and equity
• Review, redesign, and improve existing reward processes and frameworks
• Provide expert advice on remuneration practices, market insights, and reward principles

You’ll have a solid understanding of reward fundamentals, with experience in equity programs highly regarded. Exposure to global reward environments or a consulting background would be advantageous. You’ll be someone who can critically assess existing practices, challenge the status quo, and develop creative, practical solutions in a complex and evolving environment.
