The posting

At AVK, we are on an exciting journey of growth. Three years ago, our revenue was £66m, and we were a team of 140. Last year, our revenue grew fivefold to £325m, and we now have a headcount of over 375 people alongside vacancies across our teams to meet our growing and evolving projects.

As we scale across new geographies, we’re also shaping a future where growth is sustainable, inclusive and responsible. From cleaner power systems to educational outreach, we’re committed to leaving a positive environmental and social footprint.

Role Summary

To support this next phase of growth, we are creating a new Reward Manager role to build a robust and sustainable compensation and benefits infrastructure, allowing for us to retain and attract the talent which are critical to our success. A particular focus for this role will be job evaluation, market benchmarking, a benefits review and establishing a competitive total reward approach in all the markets where we operate.

  • Partner closely with People Partners, Talent Acquisition and Finance teams to deliver a seamless and data-driven approach to reward management.
  • Lead the review, redesign and ongoing management of employee benefits programmes, ensuring they meet employee needs whilst delivering value for the business.
  • Monitor reward effectiveness through metrics, reporting and employee insights, identifying opportunities to enhance engagement, retention and overall employee experience.
  • Maintain reward data integrity within HR systems and establish robust governance around compensation processes.
  • Support the preparation of reward-related reporting for senior leaders, providing insights and recommendations that inform strategic decision-making.

Strategic Reward Partnering:

  • Act as the organisation's subject matter expert for compensation, benefits and reward strategy.
  • Partner with senior leaders to develop reward solutions that support business objectives, organisational growth and talent priorities.
  • Contribute to the development of a compelling Employee Value Proposition through the design of a competitive and differentiated total reward offering.
  • Drive continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to modernise reward practices, increase efficiency and enhance the employee experience.

Requirements

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
