Manager - Performance & Reward

The Performance & Reward team are looking for a Manager to join their friendly, multi-disciplinary team (our team includes people with backgrounds in finance, legal, tax, accounting, HR, management consulting). We are looking for switched on people who enjoy solving complex problems. In short, we help companies decide how to remunerate and incentivise their top people. This can be advising ASX50 Boards on what their CEO's salary and incentive package should look like, or helping a tech start-up design and implement an employee share option plan that will allow them to attract talent and grow their business. This team and this role's goal is to accurately advise our clients, we must understand their business, their strategy, and the remuneration landscape (what is considered appropriate). This means gaining a breadth of knowledge across industries and taking the time to understand individual clients and their priorities. Our diversely skilled team enables us to deliver solutions that fit their commercial needs, while navigating legal, tax and accounting implications, and investor and community expectations.
