Job Description
Culture Amp is looking for a Total Rewards Manager for a fixed-term position running twelve months. The person in this seat should already have a solid base in total rewards and be ready to take on more responsibility for reward work, with a move toward leadership as a possibility. The purpose of the role is to design pay and benefits arrangements that are equitable, competitive against the market and simple for managers to apply consistently.
Working with colleagues in people operations, finance, legal and recruiting, the manager organises the annual pay and promotion rounds from planning through to reporting. Ongoing tasks include keeping salary bands current, benchmarking against the market and overseeing variable pay and equity schemes. Benefits support extends across the Asia-Pacific region, the United States and Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The manager also coaches a small group that delivers these programs and produces guidance and training so leaders understand pay structures. Share grant administration, including records and processes for leavers and internal movers, is part of the remit. Analytical work covers fairness reviews of pay and identifying outliers, with recommendations leaders can act on. The position adds controls and audit trails, follows regulatory change such as pay transparency rules, and helps connect reward processes with people operations.

- Track record running annual cycles, range changes and exception handling
- Ability to draft pragmatic policy and build controls that do not slow delivery
- Effective partnering with HR partners, recruiters, finance and legal
