Level: 3
Contract: permanent
Location: Southampton (Hybrid)
Department: HR
As a Reward Analyst you will focus on the data and analytics required to support all aspects of the annual compensation processes at Quilter. One of our most important processes is the Group’s annual salary and incentive cycle in Q1 each year, which to deliver requires a raft of activities across the team, that you will play a key role in.
The emphasis will be on all data elements that form part of our compensation cycle, which will include activities such as the completion and analysis of market data compensation surveys, the maintenance of incentive accrual files provided for our colleagues in Finance, the maintenance and evolution of Reward-built employee job matching and benchmarking databases, the development and testing of our year-end compensation tool (PayScale), and the upkeep of other Reward systems and trackers as required. We also have a peer-to-peer employee recognition platform (Thank Q) for which this role will support both its ongoing maintenance (including running engagement campaigns with our Internal Communications colleagues) and the suite of associated quarterly reporting for the platform’s use and effectiveness.
This role will also support with the preparation and analysis of the various annual regulatory disclosures that Quilter is required to make, such as Gender and Ethnicity Pay Gap calculations and Real Living Wage monitoring, amongst others.
In addition, the role will give you the opportunity to partner with the wider HR function and directly with the business where appropriate, supporting with technical reward guidance and other advisory services. This may include tasks such as composing salary and incentive package recommendations for new hires and internal moves/promotions (supported with the most relevant benchmarking data), ensuring that any proposals are in keeping with our diversity and inclusion principles and Equal Pay regulations. Other advisory tasks may include the preparation of employee redundancy and exit schedules, practical advice on reward governance and controls, providing market trends and insights as required, plus employee reward cost analysis and more.
There will also be the opportunity to contribute to project work as we support our HR, Finance and wider business colleagues with Quilter’s strategic priorities and the impact that employee reward has on these. The role will involve making use of artificial intelligence (Copilot) where applicable, with the aim of improving our overall proposition and increasing productivity within the team.
Consumer Duty
Whilst this isn’t a directly customer facing role, the Reward frameworks and pay structures that we support and maintain seek to ensure that Quilter attracts and retains talented employees. This means our customers are then served by motivated, high-performing staff who are fairly rewarded for their work. By analysing and preparing regulatory disclosures, such as Gender and Ethnicity Pay Gap reports and Real Living Wage monitoring, this role supports our commitment to transparency and fairness, which can build trust with customers who can see that Quilter values ethical pay practices and inclusivity.
Relevant experience working within a similar Reward role is essential, whereby you have ideally supported 2-3 compensation cycles previously.
A particular understanding and familiarity with the kinds of roles and team structures within the Financial Services sector would be preferred, as would a working understanding of Willis Towers Watson and McLagan compensation data
Demonstrable experience of working with data and a high level of proficiency with MS Office applications, in particular MS Excel is essential. Workday HCM knowledge and/or Curo Compensation (PayScale) would be beneficial.
You will have a high level of numeracy and an analytical mindset with a need to be comfortable with handling large sets of data, ideally within a Financial Services or other relevant context.
Experience of using Copilot/other AI solutions to create efficiencies would be beneficial.
