As a result the business is looking to meet with experienced reward leaders with proven ability to execute both the "hands on" and the "strategic" elements of the role, someone who has gained strong Total Reward (compensation and benefits) experience covering all levels of staff including Exec Comp, together with excellent attention to detail and good systems knowledge such as Workday and Payroll. Experience or understanding of working in a FTSE business is highly desired. The business really values curiosity, so someone who is always trying new things, who is aware of new trends and is not afraid to innovate. Finally this person needs to be creative, have a passion for delivering a high-quality service and will go the extra mile to get things done well. As mentioned above this role is on a permanent part-time basis (any 4 days per week, or 5 days with reduced hours) In the first instance, please contact Peter Francis at Frazer Jones
