Manager, Group Reward Projects – Retail
Location: London (Hybrid)
Salary: £68-80,000 + car allowance + bonus + corporate benefits
We are supporting a global, highly matrixed organisation to appoint a Manager, Group Reward Projects into a strategically important, standalone role within the Group Reward function.
This position sits at the intersection of reward strategy, complex project delivery, and senior stakeholder engagement, and is ideal for an experienced reward professional who is already operating at manager or senior-manager level or a high-calibre Senior Reward Specialist with consultancy experience ready to step into a broader, more autonomous remit.
The role:
This is a high-trust, high-visibility role with responsibility for delivering multiple global reward initiatives concurrently. You will not inherit a team, but you will inherit ownership.
The organisation is operating in a fast-moving, international environment, and requires someone who can bring structure, pace, and credibility to complex reward projects, while remaining hands-on and detail-oriented.
You will work closely with senior reward leadership, HR, Finance, Legal, and international markets, acting as the central point of coordination and delivery across several critical programmes.
Examples of some of the projects you will be responsible for:
Global Pay Transparency Programme
- Lead the coordination and delivery of a global pay transparency project in line with evolving EU pay transparency legislation.
- Coordinating a multi-country programme with varied levels of reward maturity
- Supporting the removal of pay-secrecy clauses where applicable
- Developing and implementing salary ranges by country
- Supporting the publication of pay ranges on job adverts
- Managing employee pay information requests and benchmarking comparisons
- Delivering pay analysis and insight to support decision-making
- Driving alignment across markets ahead of regulatory deadlines
- Following implementation, you will play a key role in:
- Educating leaders and colleagues on pay transparency principles
- Supporting communication around pay philosophy and reward frameworks
- Building capability and confidence across the organisation
