As our Reward Manager, you’ll lead the total reward framework for a large, unionised workforce of over 5,100 employees.

  • Benefits Programme Management: Design, procure, and manage our comprehensive benefits programme, including health and wellbeing initiatives, employee assistance programmes, salary sacrifice schemes, and additional perks.
  • Data-Driven Insights: Establish KPIs and metrics to assess the impact of our reward programmes, provide regular reporting to senior leadership, and analyse trends to identify improvement opportunities.
  • Gender Pay Gap Reporting and EDI Initiatives: Oversee the accurate reporting of gender pay gap data, using insights to influence our reward practices and close identified gaps. Support and promote EDI by embedding inclusive practices in all aspects of reward and recognition.
  • Reward & Recognition Initiatives: Design and deliver an impactful annual reward programme, working closely with Senior Leadership and operational managers to drive employee recognition and performance.
  • Operational Oversight: Oversee day-to-day reward activities such as job evaluations, grading, pay reviews and benefits administration, ensuring alignment with company frameworks and regulatory compliance.
  • Reward Projects: Lead key reward initiatives, including annual pay and incentive cycles, performance calibrations, organisational design changes, and job profiling aligned to industry standards.
  • Communication & Engagement: Collaborate with the Head of Communications and Engagement to ensure clear, consistent messaging around reward programmes, strengthening our inclusive, high-performance culture.


Your Experience:

  • Proven experience in reward management within a large, complex, unionised organisation
  • Demonstrated track record in developing reward strategies that support business growth and employee retention
  • Deep expertise in compensation principles, job evaluation, and market benchmarking
  • Advanced analytical skills and the ability to provide actionable insights to senior leaders
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management abilities
  • Project management skills with experience leading full-cycle reward initiatives


Desirable Qualifications:

  • CIPD or equivalent qualification in Strategic HR or Reward Management
