Reward Manager, HR​/Recruitment

We are partnering with a well-established, purpose-led organisation to recruit an experienced Reward Manager at an exciting point in the development of its People and Reward agenda.

With a new People Strategy recently launched and significant investment being made across its HR infrastructure and systems, this is a fantastic opportunity for a Reward specialist to take ownership of a broad and varied remit and play a key role in embedding and evolving the organisation's reward offering.

Reporting directly to the Chief People Officer, you will provide specialist reward expertise and operational leadership, translating the organisation's Reward Strategy into effective frameworks, processes and practices.

An initial priority will be embedding a revised job architecture, job evaluation approach and pay structures, before taking ongoing ownership of the wider reward agenda.
