Total Reward Partner

Up to £70,000 | Hybrid working | Leeds or Manchester – 2 days in the office

Elevation HR are supporting a confidential client appointment for an experienced Total Reward Partner. This is a varied Reward role for someone who enjoys getting into the detail but can also step back, see the bigger picture and confidently advise and influence senior stakeholders.

Working closely with the wider Reward team, the role will have a particular focus on reward policy, legislation and compliance, alongside wider Total Reward activity across the business.

The role

You will be involved in a broad range of Reward activity, including:

  • Researching EU reward legislation, pay transparency, equal pay, benefits and market practice.
  • Turning research and data into clear insights, recommendations and practical guidance.
  • Supporting annual reward cycles covering merit, bonus and LTIP.
  • Contributing to salary surveys, benefits activity and pay transparency reporting.
  • Supporting international Reward projects, including job architecture and benefits harmonisation.
  • Developing policies, guidance and materials to help HR and business teams understand Reward requirements.
  • Working closely with HRBPs, Payroll and People teams to ensure strong governance and accurate Reward data.
  • Providing advice and influencing change to business leaders on Reward considerations and emerging requirements.
  • Supporting wider Reward projects and initiatives as required.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
