I am working with my client, a leading global technology and regulatory services business, to appoint an Interim Reward & HR Data Analyst to support a major reward transformation and global Workday implementation programme.
This is a unique opportunity to join a business operating across more than 1,000 employees in 17 countries during a period of significant change and integration. Following a major acquisition, the organisation is bringing together people, payroll and reward data from multiple systems and providers to create a single global framework for reward and people management.
Reporting to the Chief People Officer, you will work closely with the Interim Reward & Job Architecture Lead, Workday implementation teams, payroll providers and regional HR teams. This role will play a critical part in ensuring the quality, accuracy and integrity of people and reward data that underpins both the global reward programme and the successful deployment of Workday.
The Role
Your time will be split between reward analysis and Workday implementation support, with priorities shifting according to project milestones and deadlines.
Key responsibilities will include:
Building and maintaining a single global employee dataset covering organisational structures, reporting lines, compensation, allowances, bonus participation and incentive eligibility.
Supporting the design and implementation of 2027 incentive plans through participant analysis, eligibility reviews and cost modelling.
Preparing data for job architecture, salary benchmarking and pay range development activities.
Analysing employee positioning against compensation ranges and maintaining role-to-level mappings.
Collecting and validating reward-related documentation, including contracts, offer letters, incentive plans and bonus arrangements.
Mapping legacy HR and payroll data into the Workday structure, including job profiles, organisations, legal entities, locations and compensation grades.
Identifying and resolving data quality issues, inconsistencies and duplicates across multiple systems and countries.
Managing data conversion templates and supporting Workday data loads throughout the implementation lifecycle.
Reconciling source data, validating migrations and supporting testing activities ahead of Workday and payroll go-live.
Producing headcount, compensation and data-quality reports for project stakeholders and leadership teams.
Documenting processes, definitions and data governance standards to support long-term business ownership post implementation.
About You
We are looking for a highly analytical HR, reward or payroll data professional who is comfortable working in a complex international environment and managing large datasets with a high degree of accuracy.
You will bring:
Experience in HR data analysis, reward analysis or payroll reporting, ideally within multinational organisations.
Hands-on experience supporting HR system implementations, HRIS migrations or enterprise data transformation projects.
Strong experience in data mapping, cleansing, reconciliation and migration activities.
Advanced Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookups, large dataset management and financial modelling.
Experience consolidating data from multiple HR systems, payroll providers or business units into a single source of truth.
Strong attention to detail and the ability to work effectively against tight project deadlines.
Experience handling highly confidential employee and compensation data.
Desirable Experience
Workday data conversion, implementation or reporting experience.
Exposure to global payroll or Employer of Record (EOR) providers, particularly Remote.
Experience supporting job architecture, levelling or compensation framework projects.
Previous exposure to post-acquisition integration or business transformation programmes.
Experience working across multiple countries, regions or complex organisational structures.
This opportunity is ideally suited to an experienced HR Data Analyst, Reward Analyst, People Analytics Specialist or HRIS professional who enjoys working at the intersection of people data, reward and HR technology within a fast-paced international environment.
