Ready to take ownership of reward, benefits and pay governance across an international business?
We're partnering with a globally recognised organisation to appoint a Pay & Reward Manager responsible for reward, benefits and payroll governance across the UK and international markets.

Working closely with HR, Finance and business leaders, you'll play a key role in enhancing reward and benefits offerings, strengthening governance and using data-driven insights to support business decisions. The role offers significant exposure across the UK and international operations, with scope to shape future reward initiatives and contribute to the evolution of the organisation's global approach to pay and benefits.
Key Responsibilities
- Oversee employee benefits programmes, pension arrangements and provider relationships.
- Lead annual benefit reviews, renewals and benchmarking exercises.
- Support reward programmes including compensation reviews, incentive plans and pay governance.

- Manage relationships with outsourced payroll providers and external partners.
- Drive payroll transformation, automation and process improvement initiatives.
- Partner with stakeholders across Europe and wider international markets to increase visibility and consistency across payroll and reward practices.
- Strengthen controls, compliance and risk management frameworks across payroll and benefits.
