This role involves managing compensation, benefits, and recognition programmes to ensure they are competitive, fair, and aligned to ScottishPower’s people goals.

As we expand our operations and enhance our employee experience, we are looking for a passionate and innovative individual to join our Reward team. This is a unique opportunity to shape and drive our strategic reward programme, ensuring alignment with our dynamic business goals. Being part of a company where your contributions will directly impact our success.

Roles & Responsibilities

In this role you will be partnering with a ScottishPower Business to develop and execute the reward strategy and associated roadmap. Managing the execution of the associated project portfolio and communication plans ensuring key stakeholders are updated and engaged.

Leading a team of Consultants and Advisors in planning, communicating, and delivering the annual performance, pay, and bonus cycles for the designated area, ensuring timely and budget-compliant execution.

Oversee the delivery of job evaluation, grading, and benchmarking activities, as well as the collection and analysis of external survey data across the company.
