· Partner closely with the Fractional Head of People to develop and deliver the Total Reward agenda within GoGlobal's overall People strategy and transformation roadmap.

· Translate strategic People and business priorities into practical, scalable Reward solutions and implementation plans.

· Provide deep Total Reward expertise, insight, and recommendations to support decision-making by the Fractional Head of People and Executive Leadership Team.

· Work closely with the Fractional Head of People on the design and implementation of GoGlobal's global job architecture, grading, career levels, and salary structures, taking hands-on responsibility for the specialist reward work and implementation.

· Establish and maintain a robust approach to external market benchmarking, providing data and recommendations to inform pay and workforce decisions.

· Develop GoGlobal's reward and pay philosophy, in partnership with the Fractional Head of People, and translate this into practical policies, governance, and decision-making frameworks.

· Lead the operational delivery of the annual salary and compensation review, working closely with the Fractional Head of People, Finance, and business leaders to ensure recommendations are commercially aligned and implemented accurately.

· Lead GoGlobal's global employee benefits activity, including benefit design, market reviews, renewals, broker/provider relationships, and cost-effectiveness.

· Provide specialist advice on compensation decisions including recruitment, promotions, internal moves, and retention.

· Develop Reward analytics, reporting, and insights to support strategic workforce planning and Executive decision-making.

· Identify Reward risks, opportunities, and emerging priorities and bring clear recommendations to the Fractional Head of People.

Requirements

What We're Looking For

You will be an experienced international Total Reward leader who combines strong functional expertise with a willingness to be hands-on.

Proven experience building and scaling Total Reward capability in a fast-moving, international organization. Ideally having created reward frameworks, job architecture, benchmarking, and pay practices from the ground up rather than solely operating within established structures.

Comfortable operating in a hands-on environment, able to move between strategic design and practical delivery.

You will bring significant experience across compensation, job architecture, grading, market benchmarking, salary structures, annual pay reviews, global benefits, and payroll governance, ideally within a complex, geographically dispersed organization.

You will have experience operating across multiple countries and be comfortable navigating different markets, currencies, regulatory requirements, and approaches to pay transparency.

You will be confident developing recommendations and challenging constructively, while being equally comfortable moving from strategy into detailed implementation and delivery.

Critically, you will be a highly collaborative leader who enjoys working closely with a senior People leader. You will bring specialist depth and strong recommendations while operating within an integrated People model, partnering closely with the Fractional Head of People and other functional Heads to deliver shared business priorities.

Comfortable working with imperfect data and building structure where little currently exists.

Typically 10+ years experience in Total Reward, including experience operating at senior leadership level within an international fast-moving organization.

A relevant HR or Reward qualification is desirable; however, strong practical international Total Reward experience is more important than a specific qualification.
