About our Client:

A B2B SaaS platform that helps organizations verify people and businesses and stay compliant

Role Purpose:

This is a high-leverage role that sits at the intersection of compensation design, people analytics, and organisational effectiveness - across our operating geographies. Beyond owning the C&B framework, this person will serve as the analytical and strategic engine of the HR function, supporting the HR Head with data, insights, frameworks, and execution on cross-cutting people priorities. Critically, this role must ensure that compensation and benefits philosophy is applied consistently across markets while remaining locally competitive and compliant - balancing a global framework with the reality of three (and growing) very different labour markets.

Key Responsibilities:

Compensation Philosophy & Architecture

Own and manage compensation philosophy, structure, and bands across all geographies

Compensation Benchmarking & Market Positioning - Multi-Country

Lead annual benchmarking across all operating geographies using relevant survey sources

Annual Compensation Review Cycle

Lead the end-to-end annual hike cycle across all geographies — benchmarking, hike pool modelling, differentiation frameworks, manager guidance, and implementation

Variable Pay & Incentive Design

Design and manage variable pay structures, sales incentive plans, and performance-linked compensation components across all markets

Benefits Design & Benchmarking - Multi-Country

Own the benefits philosophy and portfolio across all geographies

People Analytics & HR Reporting

Build and maintain the people analytics infrastructure - dashboards, metrics, and reporting cadences for HR leadership and business stakeholders - covering all geographies

Organisational Effectiveness

Support org design reviews across geographies - analysing spans and layers, identifying structural inefficiencies, and modelling org change scenarios

Chief of Staff - HR Function

Act as the operating partner to the HR Head — owning the HR function's internal rhythm, priorities, and execution across all markets

Skills & Experience

• 4-6 years of experience with a strong foundation in compensation and benefits
• Familiarity with statutory benefits and mandatory pay components in at least two of the three operating markets
• Experience with compensation benchmarking tools and salary survey methodologies across markets
• Strong analytical skills — proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets for multi-entity cost modelling; familiarity with BI tools (Tableau, Power BI, or similar) is a plus
• Prior exposure to org design, workforce planning, or people analytics is a strong advantage Experience in a startup or scaling company where the role requires building frameworks, not just maintaining them
