• connect reward topics with broader HR priorities such as talent management, succession planning and performance management.

What you bring

• Around 7 to 10 years of relevant experience in Compensation & Benefits, Total Rewards or Reward Governance.
• Experience in an international or European scope, ideally across multiple countries.
• Strong expertise in Compensation & Benefits, including areas such as benefits, salary structures, merit and bonus processes, governance or job grading.
• Experience with harmonisation, process optimisation or change in a complex environment.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence across functions and countries
• A pragmatic, structured and business-oriented mindset with the right balance between operational and conceptual effectiveness.
• Affinity with HR systems and digitalisation; experience with SAP SuccessFactors or Workday is a strong advantage.

• bring structure to a complex international environment.
• create visible impact across Europe.
• drive harmonisation, governance and digitalisation.
