- Provide expert advice and guidance to senior management, including all relevant legal entity Boards on regulatory compensation matters. Act as Secretary and key advisor to the EMEA Compensation Committee, ensuring robust governance, high-quality material and clear articulation of regulatory implications in decision making.
- Lead regulatory horizon scanning across EMEA, monitoring and interpreting new and evolving remuneration regulations. Conduct gap analyses and translate requirements into actionable changes to compensation policy, governance frameworks and reward design.
- Navigate and harmonise differing regulatory expectations across key jurisdictions (e.g. UK, Luxembourg, Ireland, Germany, France), balancing local compliance with global consistency.
- Support and act as central point of contact for annual Internal Audit and Compliance reviews to ensure compliance and identify areas for improvement. Act as central point of contact for Compensation Team on annual External Audit process.
- Take global leadership on coordinating annual equal pay reviews and analysis as well as gender pay gap reporting in collaboration with HR Analytics team. Play central part during annual compensation review cycle to ensure compensation proposals comply with applicable rules and decisions are based on expected performance management metrics.
- In collaboration with Risk, conduct annual risk reviews for regulated roles and relevant incentive plans.
- Take thematic leadership and act as SME across the entire HR function and beyond.
