A leading enterprise organisation is undertaking a significant HR technology transformation and is seeking an experienced SuccessFactors Compensation, Performance & Variable Pay Delivery Lead to drive the delivery of critical remuneration and performance initiatives over the next 12 months.

This is not a traditional project management role. We are looking for a strategic delivery leader who combines deep HR process knowledge with SuccessFactors expertise and the ability to challenge thinking, solve problems and guide stakeholders toward best-practice outcomes.

You will sit at the intersection of HR, Technology and Operations, leading the design and delivery of solutions that support remuneration, rewards and performance management processes across a large and complex environment.

The Opportunity

Working alongside senior functional consultants and stakeholders across HR and Technology, you will be responsible for translating business requirements into scalable solutions while ensuring impacts across the broader employee lifecycle are considered.

You'll be the person asking:

- What problem are we actually trying to solve?
- What are the downstream and upstream impacts?
- How will this affect BAU processes and future releases?
- What does success look like for managers, employees and HR teams?
- How will this influence data, reporting and administration functions?

Key Responsibilities

- Lead the end-to-end delivery of Compensation, PMGM and Variable Pay initiatives.

- Ensure alignment between HR processes, technology capabilities and operational objectives.
- Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders across HR, Technology and Operations.
- Support continuous improvement and future-state operating model design.
- Provide thought leadership around remuneration and performance processes.

- Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.

Highly Regarded

- Product Owner or HR Technology leadership experience.

What's On Offer

- High-profile transformation program running through to September 2027.
