• Provide expert reward advice and insight to senior stakeholders, both in country and internationally, supporting reward‑related decision making.
• Lead the review, implementation and ongoing management of benefits and wider employee reward propositions, including pension arrangements and broker and benefits renewals.
• Support the development and management of salary budgets, providing reward insight to inform workforce planning, negotiations and financial decision making.
• Ensure reward policies, processes and practices are underpinned by strong governance and compliance with relevant UK, Ireland and Nordic legislation and regulatory requirements.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

• Significant senior‑level reward experience, ideally gained within a complex organisation.
• Strong technical knowledge across compensation, benefits, salary structures, benchmarking and incentive arrangements.
• Proven experience developing and delivering reward strategies.
• Experience influencing senior stakeholders and confidently challenging where appropriate.
• Strong understanding of UK reward legislation and best practice
• A pragmatic and commercially minded approach, with the ability to balance colleague expectations with business affordability.
• The confidence to operate in a fast‑paced, changing environment and take ownership of complex challenges.

WHAT DO WE HAVE TO OFFER?

With a genuine culture of reward and recognition, we want our employees to grow, develop and be part of our journey. We offer a benefits package that includes competitive annual leave entitlement with a fantastic holiday buy scheme, pension and life assurance along with access to an employee benefits platform that offers discounts on gym memberships and money off vouchers for a diverse range of retail, travel and hospitality brands.
