Overview

  • Build it.
  • Refine it.
  • Run it with confidence.
  • $140,000 - $150,000 + super
  • Permanent full-time

• Inner South-East Melbourne

  • What's the brief?
  • This is a hands-on remuneration role sitting in a small but growing reward function that’s still very much in build-and-refine mode.
  • They've laid strong foundations across frameworks, processes, policies and job architecture.
  • Now it’s about maturity, consistency and running cycles well, while continuing to lift capability across the business.
  • You’ll be working closely with a leader who is invested, motivated and genuinely keen to set you up for success.
  • Is this your perfect match?
  • This role has visibility, trust and influence, and will suit someone who enjoys ownership rather than waiting for perfect resourcing.
  • If you're half analytical superstar, and half genuine relationship builder, this one is for you!
  • What you'll be doing
  • Owning and running the annual remuneration cycle, including planning, forecasting and delivery
  • Administering and evolving the job architecture framework, including evaluation, grading and Mercer benchmarking
  • Leading and coordinating remuneration and benefits projects, including incentive redesigns and broader transformation work
  • Managing multiple STI programs across different cohorts
  • Partnering with the business to improve alignment between incentives, performance and experience
  • Overseeing benefit programs and working with vendors and internal teams
  • Building Excel-based models and scenarios that leaders can actually understand and act on
  • Analysing market and internal data to ensure reward decisions are competitive, equitable and commercially sound
  • Delivering cyclical reporting including gender pay equity and regulatory requirements
  • Turning data into a clear story, not just a spreadsheet
  • Partnering closely with finance, operations leaders, tech and senior stakeholders
  • Working with GMs and senior leaders (and occasionally C-suite) to support decision-making
  • What you'll bring
  • Strong experience in remuneration or total rewards within a complex environment (ideally retail)
  • Advanced Excel capability and confidence building models and scenarios
  • Experience working with incentive plans across multiple cohorts
  • Exposure to large-scale or transformational reward projects is a strong plus
  • Comfort working in systems such as Workday and Mercer benchmarking tools
  • Commercial judgement and the ability to balance rigour with reality
  • Clear, confident communication and the ability to educate leaders
  • Strong organising and prioritisation skills in a lean team
  • A collaborative, grounded leadership style with ambition to grow
