Demonstrated ability to conduct job evaluations and maintain fair, equitable pay structures. Advanced analytical skills with strong attention to detail and data accuracy. Working knowledge of SA labour laws and employment practices. Comfortable managing multiple priorities, stakeholders, and third-party providers. What Success Looks Like Robust, defensible pay decisions underpinned by accurate benchmarking and clear job evaluation. On-time delivery of annual increases, bonuses, and profit share with zero audit findings. Transparent pay structures that improve internal equity and talent retention. Optimised benefits mix that balances employee wellbeing with cost and risk. High service quality from brokers/consultants with SLAs consistently met or exceeded. Clear, compliant remuneration inputs for external audit and the annual report. Rewards & Realities: You’ll be the go-to expert for all things reward—great scope, visibility, and impact. It’s also detail-heavy and deadline-driven, requiring rigorous governance, discretion, and comfort navigating complex stakeholder needs. #hiring #edge #kestria
