What the role is all about:

The purpose of this role is to provide specialist remuneration support within the People & Culture team, providing thought leadership and ensuring that our key strategies and processes meet business needs and deliver the desired outcomes.

• Continue to integrate the remuneration framework into the business so we can achieve a greater level of transparency

• Oversee cyclical remuneration reviews to ensure a good user experience that is accurate, on time and continues to further align REA with their remuneration philosophy

• Contribute perspective and thought leadership in all areas of remuneration to ensure that REA’s remuneration strategy remains aligned with our evolving and diverse business needs

• Working with Finance and, where appropriate, external experts to act as an advisor to the CPO, CEO and the HR Committee to ensure that stakeholders have all of the information they need to make informed decisions

• Working with Finance and, where appropriate, external experts to develop all HR Committee papers to the required standard and timeframes

• Oversee the implementation of all HR Committee decisions and ensure these decisions are communicated as required

• Working with Finance to develop the annual Remuneration Report and contribute as necessary in the build up to the AGM

• Oversee all share plan administration ensuring that all plan documentation is accurate, and that grants and vesting schedules are adhered to

• Act as an advisor to the business on all ad-hoc remuneration requirements.

What we’re looking for

• Demonstrated remuneration expertise including design and implementation of strategy, Incentive Plans, Equity and Annual Review processes

• Great communication and stakeholder management – to explain complex programs to employees and key stakeholders at all levels of the business, including ELT

• A proactive and continuous improvement mindset to ensure effective application of remuneration plans to support business objectives

• A desire to work collaboratively across the P&C function and be the subject matter expert across the group

But we don’t just hire someone based on their skills and expertise. It’s our connection, acceptance, and genuine care for each other that makes REA a great place to work. That means you also need to be an avid contributor to our inclusive culture - we celebrate different perspectives, and all play an active role in creating a sense of belonging.
