We're looking for a Senior Total Reward Analyst to own compensation, equity, and commission across the business - reporting directly to the CPO and working closely with senior leadership and Finance.

This is a broad, hands-on remit with real influence. You'll bring structure to how we pay and reward our people, use AI tooling as a core part of how you work, and help shape a rewards function that scales with us.

What you’ll do

Compensation:

• Own market pricing and pay benchmarking - including external surveys, job matching, and evaluating competitive pay levels.

• Take our newly completed job architecture live: build out salary bands to best-practice standard, simplify where possible, and use AI tooling to drive efficiency in how the structure is built and maintained.

• Run the annual merit cycle and gender pay gap reporting, partnering with the CPO, People Partners, and Finance.

• Partner with the People Operations Lead to keep Humaans (our HRIS) accurate, build dashboards that turn compensation data into clear decisions, and support Talent Acquisition and People Partners on benchmarking and offers.

Equity:

• Bring hands-on experience with employee equity plans - EMI, unapproved options, or equivalent.

• Understand cap table dynamics, run equity and option pool analysis, and monitor equity burn.

• Partner with the CPO, senior leadership, and People Partners to develop equity plans (grant sizing, vesting, segmentation) and deliver awards from communication planning through to administration and execution.

Commission:

• Support the current full audit and review of our commission plans, working with business leaders on ongoing review processes.

• Help ensure commission plans are built for long-term success - structured to drive the right behaviours sustainably, not just short-term outcomes.

• Partner with the business, People Partners, and Finance on commission plan analysis, documentation, policy, and communication materials.

What we’re looking for:

• Solid grounding in total rewards, compensation and benefits, or reward - equity and/or commission experience is desirable but not essential

• A practised, hands-on user of AI tools - someone already embedding them into how they analyse data, build dashboards, and shape recommendations.

• Comfortable in a small, tight-knit team where everyone's work has direct impact, picking up whatever the work needs - whether that's a benchmarking model, a comms deck, or a grant administration process.

• Strong analytical and spreadsheet skills.

• A clear communicator who partners naturally across People, Finance, and the wider business.
