Why this opportunity?
This is not simply a BAU Benefits and Reward role.
You'll have the opportunity to review, challenge and shape an established reward proposition, working closely with senior stakeholders and influencing a number of important reward priorities across the organisation.
If you're an experienced Reward professional who enjoys getting under the skin of a business, finding opportunities and turning analysis into action, this could be an excellent interim assignment.
