Job description

Frazer Jones is pleased to be partnering with a leading professional services firm that are looking to add a Director to their reward consulting division. This is a highly established and reputable global organisation that has a truly collaborative, flexible and supportive culture that can offer extensive career development opportunities. They are an entrepreneurial business that are truly global leaders in their field. As a Director, you will play a crucial role in assisting clients to navigate a complex and evolving regulatory landscape. With a focus on clients in the financial services sector, you’ll revamp reward programmes to attract, retain, and motivate employees. You’ll support with enhancing reward programmes to provide an outstanding employee experience and promote progress on Environmental, Social, and Governance issues through remuneration strategies. You’ll support on regulatory reward matters and ensure effective governance is in place. This is a client facing role with a really broad scope, including, but not limited to, reward projects that cover executive compensation, benchmarking, job architecture design and M&A activities. You’ll ensure adherence to emerging pay equity standards and integrate DE&I into all reward and performance activities. You’ll have a focus on financial services clients that include Tier1 banks, fintechs and boutique investment management firms. But you’ll also deliver for clients in other sectors outside of this, such as shipping, oil & gas and FMCG. Working in this client facing role, you’ll be expected to provide a first-class service to your clients and demonstrate a commercial mindset to identify business opportunities and maximise your value proposition.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and contribute to a variety of complex projects with clients in the Financial Services sector.
• Generate innovative insights tailored to clients’ unique needs.
• Manage stakeholder relationships proactively and build trusted client partnerships.
• Identify new opportunities and support business development efforts.
• Drive new business and build a strong network in the market.
• Handle operational complexities and manage risks in client engagements.
• Mentor and provide learning opportunities for junior team members.
• Support the achievement of strategic goals and initiatives that drive our growth.
• Collaborate with other service lines to deliver comprehensive reward and HR solutions.
• Conduct Reward Optimization assessments, analysing data to uncover key insights.
• Offer technical advice on the UK’s regulated environment for Financial Services.
• Assist clients in redesigning their Reward Value Proposition.
• Help clients with public disclosures, Gender Pay Gap calculations, and regulatory compliance.

To be considered for this role you should be an experienced reward professional that brings client facing consulting exposure (within a consulting firm rather than self-employed interim work). You should have the ability and motivation to business develop and bring on new clients as well as maintain strong existing relationships. You should be highly numerate with strong client management and communication skills. You must have excellent attention to detail and be effective at extracting and presenting insights from data. A growth mindset with a willingness to challenge established practices is key, plus a resilience and capability of delivering practical solutions under pressure. You should be skilled in project management and collaborative teamwork. Ideally you will have exposure to financial services sector but what’s essential is your passion for reward and shaping the future people agenda, keeping up to date with the latest trends impacting the compensation landscape.

The company provide a competitive remuneration package, rewarding individual and team performance. Their comprehensive Total Rewards package includes support for flexible working and career development. With our flexible benefits, you can select options that suit your needs, covering holidays, health and well-being, insurance, savings, and a wide range of discounts and promotions. They have offices in central London and offer a flexible and hybrid working model. For this grade you are expected to be extremely commercial to identify revenue opportunities for the firm as well as lead effective delivery on projects.

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.
