Job description

Frazer Jones is pleased to be partnering with a leading professional services firm to hire for an Employee Benefits Manager. This is a highly established and reputable brand in the market that is globally recognised. They have a highly positive culture that values collaboration, entrepreneurship and diversity.

Reporting to the Head of Reward, you’ll be responsible for the benefits and wellbeing initiatives for the company’s UK population, ensuring the smooth delivery of the operational activities whilst ensuring that the firm is offering a competitive suit of benefits that bench well against its competitors. You’ll also own the benefits strategy and ensure it works in harmony with the broader HR and Reward strategy. You’ll collaborate closely with the HRIS team, people operations and senior leadership. Responsibilities will include:

• Own the end-to-end delivery of UK benefits, ensuring compliance, accuracy, and a seamless employee experience.
• Lead annual renewals and vendor relationships, balancing quality with commercial value.
• Craft clear, engaging benefits communications-from onboarding packs to policy updates.
• Shape and evolve their benefits strategy, bringing fresh thinking and market insight to the table.
• Launch and embed their benefits platform, ensuring it lands well and adds real value.
• Oversee visa processes and ensure they stay ahead of immigration compliance.
• Drive wellbeing initiatives that support their people’s physical, mental, and financial health.
• Align wellbeing with their DEI and ESG strategies, working closely with ERGs and Employee Experience.
• Use Workday to manage data, reporting, and continuous improvement across benefits.
• Partner with key stakeholders to streamline processes and elevate the employee journey.
• Support wider People projects and help shape the future of our internal programmes.

You must be a tech and data savvy senior benefits professional that’s been successfully operating at Manager grade. You will need to have exposure to both employee benefits and wellbeing initiatives. It’s key that you can run the UK benefits from both an operational and strategic standpoint, solving problems, creating and enhancing their programmes to ensure employees and engaged and effectively rewarded. It’s essential that you are an effective communicator with the ability to build strong relationships with a variety of stakeholders. Ideally you will have managed staff before as this role will involve managing a small team.

You’ll be rewarded with a salary of £75-90k, depending on experience. The business operates a hybrid office working policy and development programmes and investment to take you on the journey of developing your career. Importantly, the business is invested in ensuring they are offering a highly comprehensive benefits package for its UK employees and globally. If you’re interested in this role and would like more information, please apply and contact Nick Arnold at Frazer Jones with any questions or to have a confidential discussion about your job search in the Reward, HR Tech and Analytics market.
