Head of Reward
London | Hybrid (3 days onsite)
We’re partnering with a leading organisation to appoint a Head of Reward into a high-impact, standalone role.
This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong, hands-on reward professional to take full ownership of the reward agenda - shaping strategy while remaining close to delivery. You'll lead on pay, bonus, benefits and recognition, working closely with senior stakeholders to deliver a compelling and competitive reward proposition that supports attraction, retention and engagement.
The Role
- Own and deliver the end-to-end annual reward cycle, including salary reviews, bonus planning and market benchmarking.
- Lead the reward strategy across compensation, benefits and recognition, embedding best-practice frameworks across the organisation.
- Act as the custodian of job grading and evaluation methodologies.
- Produce RemCo papers, executive-level analysis and gender pay gap reporting.
- Manage key external providers, including pensions, benefits and benchmarking suppliers.
- Provide expert reward advice and guidance to HR colleagues and senior leaders.
- Balance strategic initiatives with operational delivery in a lean, agile environment.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
