Portfolio HR & Reward is delighted to be partnering with a leading organisation to find their next Reward Specialist for the UK & Ireland. We are looking for a talented individual to step into this key role and help shape a truly exceptional employee experience.
Reward Specialist: The Architect of Appreciation (UK and Ireland)
Are you a data wizard with a heart for people? Do you believe that reward is about more than just a paycheque-it is about making work feel worth it?
We are looking for a brilliant Reward Specialist to join a vibrant HR family. This isn’t just about spreadsheets; it’s about crafting an employee experience that shines. If you love balancing analytical precision with a passion for wellbeing and fair play, we want to meet you.
The Magic You Will Create
As the UK and Ireland Reward Guru, you will be the heartbeat of Compensation and Benefits. You won’t just manage programmes; you will nurture them.
Benefit Brilliance: You will lead the charge on everything from pensions and medical insurance to exciting DEI and Wellbeing initiatives.
The Insights Engine: You will dive deep into data to provide the lightbulb moments that help the leadership team make great decisions.
The Bridge Builder: You will be the friendly face connecting HR, Finance, and Payroll, ensuring external partners are delivering the best for the people.
Champion of Fairness: From Gender Pay Gap reporting to pay transparency, you will be a key player in making sure the organisation stays ethical, competitive, and inclusive.
Moderniser: Help sprinkle some digital magic on reward systems to make everything smoother for everyone.
Why You Are The Perfect Match
You are a rare find-someone who loves the why as much as the how. You are likely to be:
A Reward Aficionado: You know the UK and Ireland landscape like the back of your hand, from insurance renewals to the nuances of pensions.
An Excel Artist: You don’t just use spreadsheets; you make them sing. Turning complex data into clear, beautiful stories is your superpower.
Financially Savvy: You are comfortable with budgets, forecasts, and invoices. You have a keen eye for detail that ensures every penny is perfectly placed.
A People Person: You can translate technical reward speak into human for managers and employees.
The Ultimate Collaborator: You thrive in a team where ideas are shared and everyone’s voice matters.
Ready to Level Up?
If you have experience with job evaluation methodologies and a knack for systems like SuccessFactors, you are already top of the list.
