Own the global participation in and analysis of financial services market surveys to identify talent trends and shifting salary movements.
Build automated / self-service reports for HR Business Partners, Finance and other stakeholders.
Partner with leadership to draft, refine, and model structures for international base salaries, variable cash incentives, and deferred equity awards.
Serve as the subject matter expert to HRBPs, providing clear, data-backed guidance.
Liaise with Finance to ensure a robust bonus accrual process.
Drive the execution of time-sensitive global compensation cycles, including annual year-end reviews, from initial budgeting to final implementation.
Translate intricate financial, regulatory, and equity concepts into straightforward, universal narratives for non-technical stakeholders and executive teams.
Maintain high-quality documentation of global reward structures.
Ensure strict compliance with regional labor laws and financial services remuneration regulations.

Advanced knowledge of global cash structures, bonus pools, and complex equity award mechanics (such as vesting schedules, performance metrics, etc.).
Extensive hands-on experience utilizing financial services market survey databases (e.g., McLagan, Mercer, Willis Towers Watson).
Ability to operate effectively and build structured solutions out of loose, shifting business requirements across different regions.
