Compensation and Benefits Specialist - Strategic Development Opportunity

Dublin 2 | Hybrid

Our client, a sophisticated international organization, is seeking a technically strong Compensation Specialist to join during a period of significant C&B transformation. This role offers direct mentorship from an experienced Head of C&B and exposure to strategic compensation work beyond typical analyst-level responsibilities.

Why This Role Exists:
Following a recent acquisition, the business is undertaking a complete review of their global compensation strategy. You'll join at the perfect time to develop your advisory skills while working on complex, high-visibility projects.

The Development Opportunity:
This isn't a typical analyst role maintaining existing processes. You'll be mentored into strategic conversations, gradually building your capability to advise leadership on compensation decisions. The Head of C&B will actively develop you, bringing you into senior stakeholder meetings and coaching you on translating data into strategic recommendations.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own salary survey processes end-to-end - run surveys, analyze data, interpret results, and tell the story
• Take full ownership of benefits surveys and regulatory submissions
• Support the annual compensation and benefits cycle across multiple countries
• Manage payroll provider relationships across different jurisdictions
• Provide data-driven insights and context to leadership on pay decisions
• Develop your advisory capability by supporting leadership with their compensation "pot" allocation decisions
• Build your expertise in emerging areas like pay transparency legislation
• Support complex compensation analysis and benchmarking projects

The Profile We're Seeking

• 3-4 years compensation experience
  with strong technical foundation
• Number-crunching and analytics background
• you're comfortable with complex data and Excel
• Experience running or supporting salary surveys
  and interpreting benchmark data
• Data storytelling ability
• can turn analysis into clear recommendations
• Ambitious and hungry to develop
  advisory and strategic skills
• Self-sufficient
• can own projects independently with guidance rather than constant oversight
• Ideally from financial services, consultancy, or structured corporate environment

What Makes This Different:
Most C&B roles at this level are pure execution. This role offers genuine development into strategic advisory work with active mentorship. You'll be stretched, coached, and given increasing responsibility as you prove yourself.

What's On Offer

• Salary: Highly competitive salary
• Market-leading bonus opportunity
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Dublin 2 location
• Direct exposure to C&B transformation projects
• Career development and mentorship

The Right Fit:
This suits someone who's mastered the technical fundamentals and is ready for more strategic exposure. You're confident in your analytical abilities but want to develop your advisory skills and business acumen.

Please ensure your CV is updated before applying. Due to high volumes of applications, submissions via email or LinkedIn messages cannot be accepted.
