Your new company
Our client is committed to delivering fair, data-backed pay benchmarking that supports workforce equity and organisational performance. We’re seeking a Pay Benchmarking Specialist to deliver on a key project, working with the HR Director and key stakeholders to design benchmarking methodology that can be used to obtain thorough benchmarking for their upcoming pay review.

A key part of your role will be presenting findings to trade union representatives—requiring confidence, credibility, and remaining calm under pressure.
You’ll work closely with HR and key stakeholders to ensure benchmarking outcomes are robust, transparent, and actionable. Remaining objective and evidence-driven at all times.

- Advanced data handling skills, including Excel or other analytical tools.
- Strong pay modelling experience, including salary banding and market comparisons.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
- Attention to detail and a methodical approach to job profiling and matching.
What you'll get in return
