Zachary Daniels is delighted to be partnering with a leading, fast-paced business to recruit a Reward & Benefits Advisor to join their People team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves the detail behind reward and benefits, enjoys working with data and wants to play a key role in making sure employees have a great experience when it comes to their pay, pensions and benefits.

You’ll be joining an established People team, working closely with colleagues across HR, Payroll and Finance, and supporting the delivery of reward and benefits processes across a large and evolving business.

It’s a busy, varied role where accuracy really matters, but there’s also plenty of opportunity to get involved in improving processes, supporting new initiatives and helping employees better understand the benefits available to them.

What will you be doing?

• Supporting the day-to-day administration of employee benefits, including pensions, healthcare, insurance and salary sacrifice schemes.
• Managing new starter, leaver and employee changes, ensuring all information is accurate and up to date.
• Working closely with payroll and external providers to reconcile data, contributions and deductions.
• Supporting annual salary reviews, bonus processes and employee recognition initiatives.
• Preparing reports, analysing reward and benefits data and identifying any discrepancies.
• Responding to employee and manager queries, providing clear and helpful guidance on reward and benefits.
• Supporting benefits enrolment, renewals and employee communications.
• Helping to improve employee engagement with the benefits available to them.
• Working with the wider People team to review and improve processes and ways of working.
• Ensuring reward and benefits information is accurate, well maintained and delivered within agreed timescales.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone who enjoys the detail, is confident working with data and has a genuine interest in reward and benefits.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Previous experience within Reward, Benefits, HR Operations or a similar role with exposure to pay, pensions or employee benefits.
• Strong Excel and analytical skills, with excellent attention to detail.
• Experience working with HR systems, payroll information and employee data.
• A good understanding of benefits administration, pensions or reward processes.
• Confidence building relationships with colleagues, stakeholders and external providers.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple deadlines.
• A proactive approach and a willingness to get involved in improving processes.
• Great communication skills and the ability to explain information clearly.

Salary £40,000 - £45,000 plus benefits.
