- Build, maintain and improve Excel models and spreadsheets to support reward decision-making and planning
- Analyse and manipulate large data sets, ensuring accuracy, consistency and helping to translate complex data into meaningful insights for stakeholders
- Assist with management of the benefits strategy, maintaining strong relationships with providers to continuously improve the benefits offering
- Assist with the preparation of materials for senior stakeholders, including Remuneration Committee outputs
- Support market benchmarking activity and data analysis for salary and benefits insights

- Work collaboratively with HR, Finance and other teams to support reward-related queries and processes
- Contribute to continuous improvement of reward processes, systems and data quality
