  2. Identify potential gaps to the target state, structure and lead strategic workstreams (e.g., pay philosophy documentation, job architecture evolution, salary structure definition, change management, and training) to meet pay regulation requirements while leveraging the opportunity to present a compelling narrative to associates, helping them understand how their compensation and benefits are determined.
  3. Drive improvements in pay decisions across the continent by developing the capabilities, processes, and tools needed to empower HR business partners, ensuring they integrate both external and internal equity into every pay decision.
  4. Lead initiatives to evolve compensation and benefits processes and integrate them with our HRIS solution, maximizing the value of Marriott's existing technology to optimize compensation and benefits management for all stakeholders.
  5. Within the EMEA Total Rewards CoE, review and refine programs and processes to drive further automation, ensuring that the CoE's efforts are directed toward activities that deliver maximum value to both stakeholders and associates.
  6. Act as the guardian and ambassador of compensation and benefits data quality, refining existing processes to ensure HR partners achieve a tangible return on investment from updating system information-leveraging powerful analytics and optimizing the time they spend on compensation and benefits matters.
  7. Provide compensation consulting expertise to support customers at all levels in the organization in making informed compensation decisions. Independently provide data driven analyses to bring effectiveness, accuracy and efficiency of compensation programs.
  8. Collaborate with HR to identify and scope a variety of compensation projects through the development and implementation process. Develop project plans, timelines and resource needs. Manage project milestones and project plans by working and coordinating with key stakeholders. Present findings to leadership and partner with various stakeholders to provide solutions and resolve complex project issues.
