Job description

Share Plans & Reward Manager – Investment Management

£65000 - £85 000 + On Target bonus of 20%

My client is an established investment management business looking to hire a Share Plans & Reward Manager into its London-based HR team. The business has a collaborative culture and offers considerable exposure across the organisation.

This is a hands-on role with responsibility for two specialist areas of reward: the administration of employee share plans and the management of regulatory remuneration deferrals. There may also be an opportunity to become involved in broader HR activity, making this a varied position with good exposure across the business.

• Manage the end-to-end administration of employee share plans, including grants, vesting, exercises, forfeitures and lapses.
• Run annual grant and vesting cycles, including calculations, documentation and participant communications.
• Maintain accurate share plan records and coordinate with relevant internal stakeholders and external providers.
• Support associated regulatory, tax, accounting and reporting requirements.
• Manage annual share scheme reporting and statutory filings, respond to employee queries and provide ad hoc management reporting.

Deferred remuneration

• Manage the end-to-end deferral process for variable remuneration in accordance with applicable regulatory remuneration requirements, including MIFIDPRU.
• Coordinate with relevant internal teams to ensure deferrals are calculated and processed accurately and on time.
• Maintain appropriate records, support remuneration policy reviews and regulatory reporting, and liaise with relevant external providers.

HR Generalist (Optional)

• Provide day‑to‑day HR support across the employee lifecycle, including onboarding, leavers, employee queries and maintaining accurate HR records.
• Support annual HR processes including salary, bonus and performance reviews, as well as wider HR projects and process improvements.

The candidate

• Good experience of managing employee share schemes, ideally gained within financial services or a listed business.
• Strong numerical skills, attention to detail and confidence working with complex data and deadlines.
• Able to work effectively with senior stakeholders and teams across the business.
• Good Excel skills and experience of EBTs and HMRC share scheme reporting.
• Knowledge of MIFIDPRU remuneration requirements would be useful but is not essential.
• Some broader HR experience within financial services would also be helpful.
