With an immediate start preferred, we are looking for someone who can quickly understand the organisation’s remuneration environment and make a genuine contribution from day one.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the review and maintenance of salary structures, remuneration frameworks and internal salary relativities.
• Coordinate annual salary review activities, including data preparation, salary modelling and recommendations.
• Conduct market benchmarking and analyse remuneration data to assess salary positioning and identify inconsistencies.
• Develop remuneration reports, financial modelling and meaningful insights to support decision-making.
• Support job evaluations, salary classifications and remuneration adjustments.

• A proactive, solutions-focused approach with the ability to deliver outcomes within tight timeframes.

Experience with job evaluation frameworks, industrial instruments or remuneration within a large or complex organisation will be highly regarded.

While experience in employee benefits would be welcomed, the primary focus of this role is remuneration, so extensive benefits experience is not essential.

What’s on Offer?

• Initial 3-month contract with potential for a further 3-month extension.
• Opportunity to contribute to meaningful remuneration initiatives.
• Work closely with an experienced People & Culture leadership team.
• Join a collaborative, purpose-driven organisation.
