The Opportunity

We are looking for a Global Incentives Program Manager with insight into what drives behaviour — you are proactive, curious, and relentless in finding balanced incentive solutions to motivate the best talent in the market. This is a chance to shape the future remuneration design of FLSmidth and our success in attracting, retaining and motivating the best technical experts, leaders, and specialists who will drive innovation, great customer experience, great financial result and sustainability in mining.

This position will preferably be located in Bucharest, Romania, where we have a brand new Global Business Center office.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the global strategy and governance of all incentive programs, ensuring alignment with company goals and market best practices.
• Design and manage sales incentive plans across three business lines (e.g., Products, Services, and Pumps, Cyclones & Valves), linking rewards to growth, profitability, and customer value.
• Partner with Business line leaders, Business Finance and HR Partners to define performance metrics, payout structures, and incentive budgets.
• Oversee the delivery, communication, and continuous improvement of short-term and long-term incentive programs.
• Analyze incentive effectiveness and provide insights and recommendations to senior leadership.

About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced Rewards professional to lead the design and management of our global incentive programs — with a strong focus on sales incentives across our three major business lines. You will report to the Head of Rewards, Payroll and Mobility and be part of a our global people team where we collaborate and learn from each other every day. You will have one direct report in Mexico that is currently maintaining sales incentive model and long term incentives.

In this global role, you’ll partner closely with Business line leaders, Business Finance and HR Partners to ensure our incentive programs are competitive, performance-driven, and aligned with our strategic priorities.
