More than a traditional Reward role

We’re partnering with a specialist remuneration advisory business to appoint an Executive Manager into a broad, highly trusted senior role.

This is an opportunity for an experienced reward professional who enjoys consulting, building relationships and working across a diverse portfolio of clients.

You’ll work closely with business leaders to understand their needs, provide practical reward advice and build long-term trusted relationships. Importantly, you’ll also have the commercial confidence to spot opportunities, grow existing relationships and develop new opportunities

About the role
Working closely with the Managing Director, you’ll combine technical reward expertise with client advisory, business development and broader leadership responsibilities.

  • Lead reward, remuneration, benchmarking and governance projects
  • Consult to a diverse portfolio of businesses and senior leaders
  • Build strong, trusted and enduring client relationships
  • Identify client needs and develop new opportunities
  • Turn complex remuneration data into practical, commercial advice
  • Coach and support a small, capable team
  • Contribute to strategic, operational and business improvement initiatives

About you:
You’ll bring strong experience across reward, remuneration or executive compensation, ideally gained within consulting, professional services or a sophisticated in-house environment.

Just as importantly, you’ll genuinely enjoy working with clients. You’ll be someone who can quickly build credibility, understand what a business needs and turn conversations into practical solutions and commercial opportunities.

You’ll be:

  • Technically strong and commercially minded
  • Confident consulting to a range of businesses and senior stakeholders
  • A natural relationship builder
  • Comfortable developing and converting new business opportunities
  • Hands-on, pragmatic and adaptable
  • Someone who takes ownership and gets things done

Financial services reward experience would be highly regarded but not essential.

This unique role offers the chance to take your reward career beyond the purely technical. You’ll join a small, specialist and growing business where you can build strong client relationships, influence growth and have genuine visibility and autonomy.

If you’re a strong reward professional who loves consulting, building relationships and creating opportunities, we’d love to hear from you.
