Reward Consultant (6 Month FTC)

Ready to revolutionize healthcare, making it faster and more accessible than ever before? How We Started Back in 2013, our founder Dwayne D’Souza saw an opportunity to give people faster and more convenient access to medications using technology. We've grown rapidly since our inception, without any external funding whatsoever – achieving profitability through innovation and a highly disciplined approach to growth.

Where We Are Now We’ve earned the trust of millions of people worldwide through our top-selling products and well-known brands: MedExpress, Dermatica, ZipHealth, RocketRX, and Levity. A lot of our success is down to having our own pharmacies, manufacturers and products – spearheaded by leading in-house medical teams, researchers and pharmacists. Between 2023 and 2024 our global revenue tripled; £60m to £180m (300% year-on-year growth). We're looking to do the same in 2025; move into new territories, and further accelerate our growth journey. There’s never been a more exciting time to join HeliosX.

Where We’re Going Over the next five years, you’ll support our goal to become a world-leading healthcare partner, deepening our customer relationships, expanding into new countries, and diversifying our product portfolio to treat more conditions. You’ll be part of helping more people access prescription treatments and, most importantly, making personalised care better, quicker and easier for everyone. Come be a part of making our dream of easier and faster healthcare a reality!

About The Role HeliosX is looking for a Rewards Consultant to support the design and delivery of high-impact executive and variable compensation programmes. This role will play a key part in shaping how we attract, motivate, and retain top talent during a period of rapid growth and transformation. You’ll be working closely with stakeholders across People, Finance, Legal, and Exec leadership to deliver reward strategies that are data-driven, commercially sound and globally aligned. From building financial models to preparing Remuneration Committee materials, this is a hands-on role with high visibility and autonomy. This is a 6-month contract, with hybrid working. You’ll be expected in our Central London office twice per week, with the rest of your time spent working remotely.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead the design and rollout of executive compensation and variable pay programmes, including global bonus and long-term incentive plans.
• Build and maintain financial models to simulate different reward scenarios and assess impact, cost and effectiveness.
• Partner closely with stakeholders across Finance, Tax, Legal, and HR to align reward programmes with our wider commercial and governance goals.
• Ensure compliance with internal governance and external regulatory frameworks across the UK, US, and other relevant jurisdictions.
• Support bespoke equity and incentive plan design.
• Provide benchmarking and insights to inform reward decisions for senior hires, exits and organisational design work.

Experience Who you are:

• Proven track record in executive and variable compensation, either in-house or via a consulting firm.
• Experience supporting or advising a Remuneration Committee (RemCo), ideally in a PLC or PE-backed environment.
• Strong financial modelling skills (Excel is essential), with the ability to interpret and explain outputs to non-technical stakeholders.
• Familiarity with relevant reporting and governance requirements (e.g. DRR, UK Corporate Governance Code, IFRS2).
• Experience working in a fast-paced environment where ambiguity is the norm.

Skills

• Strong communicator – you’re able to translate complex reward issues into clear guidance for execs and non-reward colleagues.
• Highly analytical, commercially savvy, and comfortable working with both strategic ambiguity and technical detail.
• Confident working across functions and engaging with senior stakeholders.
• Project-oriented and well organised – you manage multiple deliverables with speed and accuracy.
• Curious, pragmatic, and solutions-driven in your approach.

Why work with us? At HeliosX, we want to improve healthcare for everyone, and to do this we need a team of brilliant people who share that ambition. We are currently a diverse team of engineers, scientists, clinical researchers, physicians, pharmacists, marketeers, and customer care specialists committed to our mission - but we need more talented folks to join us, if we want to achieve our global ambitions! Aside from working with our all-star team, here are the other benefits of coming on board:

• Equivalent of 25 Days Holiday (+ all the usual Bank Holidays)
• Private health insurance, along with extra dental and eye care cover
• Pension scheme
• Free Dermatica and MedExpress products every month, as well as family discounts
• Home office allowance
• Access to a Headspace subscription, discounted gym memberships, and a learning and development budget
