About the Role
Our client, a rapidly growing global hedge fund, are looking to add a Compensation Specialist to their team. This is a newly created opportunity within a sophisticated compensation function, and will cover their EMEA regions.
The role combines hands-on Compensation activity with analytics, benchmarking and broader projects, supporting processes across the employee lifecycle including new-hire recommendations, annual and ad hoc Compensation reviews, global mobility and employee departures. You will analyse Compensation data to identify trends and opportunities, develop reporting and dashboards, and maintain strong standards of data quality and governance.
Importantly, this is not simply a BAU or administrative Compensation role. You will have the opportunity to lead projects, present analysis and recommendations to managers and influence Compensation decisions across the business. The team is also working on areas including process improvement, technology projects, job architecture and European pay-transparency initiatives, giving the successful candidate a broad and increasingly strategic remit.
