The role itself
We are very aware that our people are what makes our business such a success, so we need to attract, hire and retain the very best talent. That's why we have created a really exciting brand new, high-profile role that will be pivotal to achieving this. We are looking for a leader (and definitely a doer) who understands the business and its DNA make up, and in turn designs and delivers a compensation and benefits approach across Group, through a fantastic global Senior Leadership team and HR community, ensuring that each business has competitive compensation, benefits and non-financial recognition programmes, and that supports our culture. The role is multifaceted and involves a mix of strategic planning, hands on operational management, and influential leadership.

This role is not about a one size fits all approach; it requires someone who can really understand the different parts of the business and create solutions that meet the specific needs of the Group and each business within it, fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, inspirational management, innovative and entrepreneurial thinking, and ultimately driving growth and of course customer satisfaction.

This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about attracting, retaining and motivating the very best talent in the world, and ready to make a significant, positive impact on the business. The successful candidate will have a strategic vision and the ability to execute on that vision, using innovative approaches and the latest technologies to achieve success. It will suit someone who can think strategically and operate hands-on, as it starts with no direct reports but includes a collaborative HR team for support.
