We are looking for a Total Rewards Manager (preferably, but not mandatory, with LTI expertise).

Your main tasks will be:

    • Act as a senior partner to top management (C-level, HR Director, Head of C&B) on all Total Rewards topics, driving data-backed decisions on compensation, incentives, and org design.
    • Own end-to-end budgeting and forecasting for personnel costs (FTE, OPEX, bonus pools), including scenario modeling and variance analysis.
    • Lead grading and job architecture initiatives: evaluate roles, build and maintain compensation structures, ensure internal equity and external competitiveness.
    • Drive advanced people analytics: HR ROI, cost efficiency, productivity metrics, and impact of reward decisions on business outcomes.
    • Design, improve, and scale performance management frameworks (goal setting, calibration, performance review cycles, bonus logic).
    • Partner closely with Finance, HRBPs, and business leaders on complex compensation cases (offers, promotions, reorganizations, retention cases)
    • Own LTI programs end-to-end (phantom/virtual stock or similar): design support, administration, modeling, reporting, and stakeholder communication

    We expect from you:

    • 5+ years of experience in Compensation & Benefits / Total Rewards, with strong exposure to analytics and strategic initiatives.
    • Proven experience working with senior stakeholders (C-level, HRD, Finance) and influencing decision-making through data.
    • Hands-on experience with budgeting, forecasting, compensation analytics, and performance/reward cycles.
    • Strong expertise in grading/job architecture and understanding of market benchmarking practices.
    • Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills: complex formulas, scenario modelling, large datasets; experience with automation (ERP/HRIS, scripts, workflows) is a strong advantage.
    • Experience owning or actively contributing to LTI / equity / long-term incentive programs

    What do we offer:

    • REMOTE OPPORTUNITY to work full time;
    • Vacation 28 calendar days per year;
    • 7 wellness days per year (time off) that can be used to deal with household issues, to lie down and recover without taking sick leave;
    • Bonuses up to $5000 for recommending successful applicants for positions in the company;
    • 50% payment for professional training, international conferences and meetings;
    • Corporate discount for English lessons;
    • Health benefits. According to the paychecks, if you are not eligible for corporate medical insurance, the company will compensate you with up to $ 1,000 gross per year per employee. This can be spent on self-purchase of health insurance or on doctor’s fees for yourself and close relatives (spouse, children);
    • Workplace organization. The company provides all employees with an equipped workplace and all the necessary equipment (table, armchair, wifi, etc.) in our offices or co-working locations. In the other locations, the company provides reimbursement of workplace costs up to $ 1000 gross once every 3 years, according to the paychecks. This money can be spent on the rent of the co-working room, on equipping the working place at home (desk, chair, Internet, etc.) during those 3 years;
