Employer Solutions Associate Director – Share Plans and Rewards

Make an Impact at RSM UK

At RSM, we celebrate individuality, fresh thinking, and collaboration. Our culture not only embraces change but also impacts it. We are not a one-size-fits-all firm and work hard to create an environment where our people can make a difference — to themselves, their careers, their teams, and to the success of RSM and our clients.

We are excited to be recruiting for an Employer Solutions Associate Director who can be based out of one of our national offices. The role involves leading on the needs of a diverse range of clients in providing share scheme and incentive structuring, tax advice, and implementation support. You’ll have significant client contact and provide leadership to more junior colleagues in the team.

You’ll make an impact by:

1. Meeting with clients to discuss their business and incentive needs, then working on the design of new employee incentive schemes.
2. Building strong capability within teams, recognising and responding to strengths of individuals and client requirements.
3. Motivating your team and ensuring maximum efficiency of reward spend.
4. Providing advice on the tax treatment of a wide range of share plans during implementation and operation, and on transactions.
5. Implementing share plan structures, including preparing the necessary legal documentation.
6. Advising on the valuation of shares for tax purposes.
7. Working alongside our RSM colleagues from across the world to provide advice on international share incentive structures.
8. Briefing junior staff on the client’s business and the pre-project instructions, supervising, and controlling the completion of work, and undertaking ‘on the job’ training and appraisals where necessary.

What we are looking for:

Are you someone who thrives on variety, loves learning new things, and enjoys connecting with people? If you can spot inefficiencies in everyday life and are passionate about making improvements, this role is perfect for you!

We value diverse experiences and perspectives. Here’s what we’re looking for in our ideal candidate:

1. Experience of working in a Share Plans / Reward team at a reputable accountancy, law, or consulting firm.
2. Relevant professional qualification, for example, ATT, CTA, ACA, or Solicitor.
3. Proven experience in client handling and project management.
4. Experience in producing exceptional quality work for demanding clients.
5. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

What we can offer you:

We recognize that our people are our most important assets. That’s why we offer a flexible reward and benefits package that will help you have a fulfilling experience, both in and out of work.

• Hybrid and flexible working.
• 27 days holiday (with the option of purchasing additional days).
• Lifestyle, health, and wellbeing benefits including financial wellbeing tools, electric car scheme, and access to a virtual GP.
• Individual healthcare cover.
• Access to a suite of 300+ courses on demand developed by our in-house talent development team.
