We’re a mighty team, currently made up of Talent, People and Internal Comms and we’re growing! In People, we oversee the full employee lifecycle from the moment a potential candidate expresses interest in a job opening, to their onboarding, their growth, development and everything in between that makes up the unique experience of being an hxer (that’s what we call ourselves).

We look forward, always. We’re all about thinking one step ahead to help every hxer be ready to bring their ultimate potential to contribute to our success.

Your MissionWe’re a values-led company, which means they shape almost everything we do. They’re referenced often, our leaders role model them, and we hold high expectations around bringing them to life.

Your mission is to make sure our compensation and benefits reflect and reinforce those values in the moments that matter. You’ll have the opportunity to shape how we approach pay, benefits, and rewards across multiple countries, with a lot of internal exposure and the chance to build something special.

Refine and evolve hx’s compensation philosophy to ensure it is analytically sound, equitable, scalable, and aligned to our values.

Collaborate with our Director of People Data and Insights to enhance compensation models and frameworks used across hiring, progression, and reward.

Build and deliver engaging, practical training and guidance for managers on our compensation principles, pay banding, and decision-making processes.

Support calibration and promotion processes with clear data and rationale, ensuring consistency across teams and geographies.

What You Will Have Previously Done
