I am looking for an experienced HR Programme Manager to join a reputable organisation on a 12-month fixed-term basis and lead a portfolio of high-profile, strategic people initiatives.
This is an opportunity to make a significant impact across Reward, Organisation Design and HR transformation, working closely with senior HR, Finance and Commercial leaders to create scalable, transparent and future-ready people frameworks.

- Develop a unified sales incentive framework across Injectables and Energy-Based Devices (EBD), bringing greater consistency across regions and countries.
- Partner with Finance and Commercial leadership to define performance measures, payout mechanisms and governance structures.
- Identify opportunities to simplify, harmonise and improve existing incentive arrangements.
Job Architecture, Grading & Organisation Design

- Develop a clear, scalable job family and grading architecture that supports consistency and career progression.

- Design organisational structures that support our evolving operating model.
- Develop practical tools, principles and documentation to support ongoing job evaluation and organisational design decisions.
- Bring structure and clarity to complex organisational challenges.
