Rewards & Benefits

We all know that great work deserves great compensation. But rewarding deserving professionals is becoming increasingly complex. The workforce is more demanding, and there is a focus on transparency, not just at the executive level but also at the workforce level. New jobs with no pay precedent are emerging all the time. Flatter structures and contingent workforces mean career paths are no longer clear. We understand the differing dynamics of compensation markets worldwide and across sectors. We stay current with trends, create engaging employee value propositions, and develop strategies to accelerate sales. We design flexible and competitive compensation strategies that align employees and senior executives with business objectives. Additionally, we develop thoughtful employee engagement programs that attract and retain a diverse workforce, reinforcing company culture and goals.

Position Summary & Key Responsibilities

Associate Principals work on project teams alongside experienced practitioners and sales colleagues to deliver rewards solutions that meet and exceed client expectations. This role is the core delivery level for consultants who have developed an understanding of and experience with standard tools applied to defined problems, or for more experienced colleagues. Individuals typically lead a team or work as part of a team supporting a client, managing their own contributions to ensure fit. They receive general direction, with work reviewed at project completion.

Primary Responsibilities

Within French or international project teams, leveraging other Korn Ferry solutions as needed, you will assist companies of various sectors—from start-ups to multinationals—in transformation or at key development moments. Joining the Total Rewards Advisory team, you will work on:
