About the Role

  • Hiring teams adhere to restrictions on requesting salary history.
  • Work closely with HR, Reward, Talent Acquisition, and business stakeholders to ensure readiness for organisational changes.
  • Act as a point of contact for queries related to compensation processes, documentation, and compliance.
  • Take ownership of small workstreams within the broader project, driving progress and ensuring deliverables are met.
  • Engage confidently with colleagues across the business, building relationships, gathering information, and proactively identifying gaps.
  • Provide BAU support across reward, benefits administration, and cyclical activity as required.

Experience & Skills Required

  • Prior experience in Rewards, Compensation & Benefits, or a closely related HR discipline.
  • Experience working on large, complex projects, ideally within a global HR or rewards function.
  • Strong understanding of pay processes and their downstream impact.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills; comfortable "knocking on doors" to get answers and build rapport.
  • Proactive, organised, and willing to learn quickly, able to take ownership of specific deliverables.
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to translate legislation and policy requirements into practical guidance.
  • Exposure to EU or international employment legislation, particularly around pay transparency.
  • Background in HR generalist or broader people operations roles.
