Your Tasks

• You design the compensation architecture for EMEA: You translate the pay philosophy into country-specific guidelines, budgets, and processes and advise subsidiaries on strategic compensation planning.
• You evaluate positions according to established methods (e.g., Hay, Mercer IPE), derive consistent salary bands from them, and keep the band architecture up to date across countries and functions – including salary ranges and geo-differentials based on market pricing and salary surveys.
• You systematically review compensation decisions (offers, adjustments, retention, promotions) for market competitiveness, internal fairness, compliance, and governance.
• You create meaningful analyses and reports (comp-ratio, range penetration, pay equity), derive concrete measures – and make their impact measurable. A key focus: the implementation of the EU Pay Transparency Directive.
• You develop guidelines, toolkits, and training, empower HR Business Partners and managers, and ensure clear, understandable reward communication.
• You manage EMEA-wide C&B projects and coordinate the interface with payroll – without operational payroll processing.
• If required, you take on deputy team leadership tasks; situational willingness to travel completes your profile.

Your Profile

• Completed studies or equivalent qualification (e.g., Business Administration, HR, Finance).
• Sound experience in Compensation & Reward, ideally in an EMEA context.
• Proficient handling of job evaluation and grading (e.g., Hay, Mercer IPE) as well as the construction and maintenance of salary bands and pay ranges.
• Strong analytical skills and a KPI-oriented way of working.
• Practical experience with HRIS compensation modules (Workday, SuccessFactors, SAP HCM).
• Experience in cross-border projects, confident stakeholder management, and clear, factual communication.
• Proactive, independent way of working with high attention to detail.
• Enjoy guiding and developing team members and subsidiaries.
• Very good English; German is desirable.

Your Benefits

• International, appreciative corporate culture with hybrid working, flexible hours, and 30 days of vacation.
• Christmas and vacation bonuses, childcare allowance, company pension scheme, and subsidized lunch.
• Health offers ranging from gym memberships to courses and massages – plus Deutschlandticket subsidy, free parking, and Jobrad.
