We are looking for a proactive and enthusiastic individual to join the Reward Team within the Human Resources Division.

You will be comfortable working in a deadline-driven environment, handling sensitive remuneration information with discretion and in line with governance, confidentiality and data protection requirements. 

The HR Division is continuing to improve processes and systems to optimise the customer journey. This role offers the opportunity to be creative and forward-thinking by contributing to process improvements within the Reward team, including strengthening guidance and controls, improving data quality, reporting in HR systems, and identifying opportunities to streamline or automate workflows.
