About the Role

This role offers the opportunity to develop expertise across global reward, incentives, recognition and fair pay while working with senior stakeholders and complex reward programmes in a FTSE-listed global organization.

- Advise on the design and review of frontline incentive programmes, ensuring plans are aligned to business objectives, reward principles and governance expectations.
- Support the maintenance and governance of reward policies, frameworks and tools to ensure consistency, compliance and a positive employee experience.
