About the Role
The UK Compensation Operations Manager role is predominantly project-based but will support the delivery of the Total Reward offering to the UK population. One of the most high-profile and significant projects you’ll be required to lead on is the delivery of the UK annual pay review cycle – Performance & Reward – known internally as ‘P&R’. The lead will plan and deliver the merit proposals and prior years’ bonus calculations for the UK population. It also involves significant stakeholder management across the organisation, in addition to substantial data validations exercises, system configurations and testing, training and leading various P&R-specific marketing campaigns.
Outside of the P&R cycle, typically lasting from October to April, the role will involve project managing other cyclical workstreams, for example gender gap reporting, compensation competitive analysis and market data survey submissions.
