Job Description Summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Group Reward as an Executive Reward Manager, reporting to the Senior Manager, Executive Reward.

We’re transforming how we support Executives across the reward lifecycle, creating simpler, more seamless experiences and using technology, automation and data to continually improve how we work.

Working within Group Reward, you’ll support Executives through some of the moments that matter most, including compensation on hiring, onboarding, promotions, role changes and new opportunities, the annual reward cycle and leaving the Group. You’ll also contribute to our broader work across Executive Reward and Colleague Shares.

We’re looking for someone with strong compensation experience, ideally across Executive Reward and share plans, who combines technical expertise with excellent written communication, analytical capability and a passion for improving how things are done.

You’ll be someone who brings ideas and curiosity, challenges established ways of working and looks for opportunities to simplify and automate processes as a matter of course. You’ll have the judgement and communication skills to work effectively with senior stakeholders and the potential to take on broader responsibilities as you develop.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for:

•Transforming the Executive experience, continually identifying opportunities to simplify, automate and improve processes across the end-to-end reward lifecycle.

•Using data and insight from internal and external sources to identify themes, inform decisions and recommend improvements to reward practices and processes.

•Producing high-quality approval papers and supporting materials, translating complex Executive compensation proposals into clear, concise recommendations through the Reward Governance Framework.

•Developing clear guidance and communications for Executives and colleagues, making complex reward matters easy to understand and act on.

•Managing the end-to-end delivery of key Executive Reward activities, providing a high-quality and seamless experience for Executives.

•Providing advice on senior role pricing and the structure of compensation proposals, supporting these through the relevant Executive approval process and preparing associated offer documentation.

•Delivering projects and contributing to wider initiatives across Executive Reward and Colleague Shares.

•Applying sound judgement and a strong risk mindset to ensure Executive Reward processes and design meet relevant legislative, regulatory and governance requirements.

•Bringing external thinking, new ideas and continuous improvement, helping us raise the bar for the team and develop more effective ways of working.

There’s real scope to grow in this role. You’ll gain exposure to complex Executive Reward issues and senior leaders, with the opportunity to broaden your reward expertise and take on greater responsibility as you develop.

•Reward & Benefits: strong compensation knowledge and experience, with the ability to apply it confidently to complex or senior remuneration issues.

•Change and Transformation: a transformation approach, with the curiosity and confidence to challenge existing ways of working and use technology and automation to create better outcomes.
