Take YOUR part in #EnergySmart!

Requirements

• Proven experience in Total Rewards at a senior or leadership level, ideally within a listed company or complex multi-country environment.
• Strong knowledge of the Baltic markets (experience in Poland and other regional markets is a significant advantage).
• Demonstrated ability to operate at both strategic level (philosophy, architecture, frameworks) and practical implementation level (this role spans design and execution equally).
• Strong analytical skills and comfort working with pay data, benchmarking tools, and reward modelling.
• Experience working with large, complex datasets and translating insights into strategic decisions.
• Proven ability to evaluate and introduce digital solutions and drive process automation within the total rewards function.
• Strong focus on designing controls and data governance to ensure accuracy and compliance.
• Up-to-date knowledge of total rewards regulatory requirements across the region, including pay transparency legislation.
• Experience presenting to and advising senior governance bodies (e.g. Supervisory Board, Remuneration Committee).
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills: from trade unions to C-suite.
• A collaborative, hands-on leadership mindset.

Responsibilities

• Design and evolve the Group-wide total rewards philosophy, framework, and architecture, including tailored approaches for different employee segments across our diverse business lines.
• Design and develop competitive, sustainable base pay and total compensation structures across the organisation.
• Assess market competitiveness and provide actionable benchmarking insights, including for international talent pools outside the Baltics.
• Design and develop short-term and long-term incentive models aligned to business needs, including top management incentivisation systems in line with listed company best practices.
• Develop a sustainable, purpose-driven benefits strategy and integrate recognition and wellbeing solutions.
• Develop KPI frameworks and performance-linked reward models.
• Evaluate the total rewards impact of organisational changes and transformations.
• Own and manage the annual salary review process: guidelines, calculations, approvals, and execution.
• Ensure robust process standards, controls, and error-prevention mechanisms to maintain data accuracy and compliance.
• Provide regular insights on total rewards best practices, market trends, and regulatory developments, including pay transparency requirements and annual remuneration reporting.
• Prepare and present remuneration reports and reward-related decisions to the Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the Supervisory Board.
• Support the design of competency models, career frameworks, and performance management structures linked to reward.
• Lead day-to-day total rewards operations: salary decisions, bonus calculations, pay review cycles, and ongoing process management.
• Evaluate and introduce advanced technology and digital solutions within the total rewards function.
• Drive process automation to increase efficiency and reduce manual effort.
• Work with large, complex datasets and translate data insights into strategic decisions.
• Act as the primary total rewards point of contact for Group top management, HR leadership, trade unions, and external stakeholders.
• Represent the total rewards function and provide recommendations to the Supervisory Board's Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
