Senior Rewards Analyst / Comp and Bens Manager
About the Role
A leading, integrated communications network — bringing together creative, media and health agencies under one roof — is looking for a proactive, hands-on Compensation and Benefits Manager to join a progressive, award-winning People team of 35.
This is a key partnering role, working closely with the wider People team, business managers, and internal and external service providers to run Reward and Benefits processes across the organisation's Media, Creative and central services teams. It's a genuine opportunity to bring specialist Payroll, Compensation and Benefits expertise to bear on building an industry-leading reward proposition — recommending and implementing programmes that drive attraction, engagement and retention.
What You'll Be Doing
- Building strong, approachable relationships across the business, ensuring timely and accurate responses to pay and benefits queries
- Submitting data to third-party providers for benefits and salary surveys
- Analysing the current benefits offering and running competitive analysis to inform recommendations
- Managing and delivering the bi-annual pay review and annual bonus scheme end-to-end
- Partnering with the People Business Partnering team, providing expert guidance on pay (benchmarking, pay bandings) and benefits (harmonisation, TUPE)
- Overseeing benefits processes, including managing relationships with the benefits broker and external providers
- Supporting the Head of Compensation and Benefits on wider Group Reward projects
- Staying ahead of legislative changes affecting reward (pensions, gender pay reporting, commission, holidays, etc.) and proactively advising the business
- Overseeing accurate, timely monthly payroll instructions and checks
- Supporting preparation and submission of benefit-in-kind and other reporting
- Analysing and reporting on payroll data, headcount and other key People metrics
- Line managing a team of 3 (1 Administrator, 2 Junior Compensation and Benefits Analysts)
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
This role demands real technical depth in Compensation and Benefits, not just generalist HR experience. To succeed, you should bring:
- A genuine generalist background in Compensation and Benefits — this isn't a narrow or single-process role
- Proven experience running bonus and salary review modelling, having led these processes end-to-end previously
- Solid experience in salary benchmarking
- Line management experience, whether direct or through project leadership
- Advanced Excel skills and strong numerical ability — this is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have
- Strong working knowledge of HR systems and reporting
- Confident senior stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to communicate clearly at all levels, including with senior leadership
- Alongside the technical skill set, we're looking for someone who is:
- Highly organised, able to juggle multiple initiatives against competing deadlines in a fast-paced, agile environment
- Solution-focused, always looking to streamline processes and cut unnecessary admin
- Calm under pressure, with a collaborative mindset
- Optimistic, with a genuine passion for the Reward field and a can-do attitude
- Naturally creative — someone who brings ideas and isn't afraid to challenge the status quo
