Compensation & Benefits Manager \n \n Manchester (Hybrid – 3 days in the office) \n £80,000–£85,000 + 15% annual bonus + excellent benefits \n Confidential Retained Search \n \n Middlemore is delighted to be exclusively retained by a highly respected international financial services organisation to appoint a Compensation & Benefits Manager to support its UK and European operations. \n \n Whilst the remit spans the full Reward agenda, the organisation's greatest near-term priority sits within Benefits, particularly across its European operations. \n The Compensation offering is mature and well established, with a variety of rewarding project work across benchmarking, pay structures, incentives and regulatory developments. Benefits, however, is undergoing a more significant evolution, creating an opportunity for someone who enjoys solving operational complexity whilst shaping the future employee proposition across multiple European markets. \n \n You'll play a pivotal role in driving a broad range of strategic and operational initiatives, including: \n Benefits \n\n • European Benefits strategy and delivery across c.10 countries\n, • Annual Benefits renewals and vendor management\n, • Continued rollout and optimisation of an international Benefits platform\n, • Simplification of a complex supplier landscape\n, • Regulatory compliance and Collective Bargaining Agreements\n, • Improving operational efficiency through process improvement and technology\n\n Compensation \n\n • Annual salary and reward review cycles\n, • WTW job architecture and market benchmarking\n, • Variable pay and incentive frameworks\n, • European Pay Transparency initiatives\n, • Equal Pay and Gender Pay Gap reporting\n, • Workday compensation governance, reporting and data integrity\n\n \n This is a role for someone who enjoys remaining close to the detail. \n \n We're looking for an experienced Reward professional who is comfortable leading projects, influencing senior stakeholders and rolling up their sleeves to deliver operational excellence. You'll need energy, pragmatism and excellent judgement, but equally important is your ability to build strong relationships. The HR team is collaborative, supportive and genuinely enjoyable to be part of, so finding someone who values working in that kind of environment is important. \n \n You may already be an experienced Compensation & Benefits professional with a strong Benefits bias, or you could be an established Benefits specialist looking to broaden your Reward remit. Equally, we'd welcome conversations with experienced professionals seeking a technically interesting role without the need for significant people management responsibilities. \n \n Experience across UK and European Benefits is essential (we're open-minded regarding the depth of your European experience), together with exposure to Compensation activities within a complex, international organisation. Financial Services or Insurance experience would be advantageous, although we're equally interested in candidates from other regulated or high-touch international environments where the experience is readily transferable. \n If you'd like to discuss the opportunity in confidence before applying, Jenna Stocks would be delighted to hear from you via jenna.stocks@middlemore.co.uk . Alternatively, please apply via the link below. \n \n Equal Opportunities \n Our client is committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

Dean of Student Experience Job Responsibilities The College UK Management College (UKMC) is a private, widening-participation higher education provider established in 2016, delivering degree programmes with an integrated Foundation Year in partnership with universities that act as the awarding bodies — the University of Wolverhampton (principal partner), Canterbury Christ Church University, Arts University Bournemouth and Health Sciences University — across campuses in Manchester (College House, Salford and Abarna Campus), Derby, Newcastle (North Shields) and Sunderland. The College serves a predominantly mature, local and first-in-family student community, many of whom balance study with work, caring and financial pressures. Its student-support model is therefore central, not peripheral, to its mission: success is measured by retention, continuation, completion and progression, and the College’s support ecosystem — organised around quality, engagement, support, wellbeing, inclusion and employability — exists to deliver those outcomes for every student, at every campus, on equal terms. Role Purpose The Dean of Student Experience is the College’s senior leader for academic services and the student experience. The post holder holds executive responsibility for the departments and functions that surround and enable course delivery: the Wellbeing Department; the Personal Academic Tutor (PAT) team; student engagement (non-academic); academic language and learning; employability, careers and student outcomes; research and knowledge exchange; and academic integrity. The purpose of the role is to ensure that every student — whatever their starting point, campus or mode of engagement — receives consistent, differentiated and effective support to engage, persist, achieve and progress. The Dean of Student Experience reports to the Associate Provost / Provost and works in close partnership with the Academic Dean, who leads course delivery, and with the Quality and Compliance department, with whom the post holder shares responsibility for evidencing that the College’s support for students meets the requirements of the Office for Students (OfS), partner universities (awarding bodies) and other regulatory bodies. The two Deans are jointly accountable for the College’s student outcomes: continuation, completion and progression at or above the College’s institutional targets, which are themselves set above OfS numerical baselines.

Line manages: Head of Wellbeing; Personal Academic Tutor (PAT) Manager; Head of Student Engagement (Non-Academic); Academic Language and Learning Lead; Head of Employability and Student Outcomes (Student Engagement and Career Development); Head of Research and Knowledge Exchange; and Head of Academic Integrity — together with the teams that report through them at every campus. Works with: The Academic Dean and the academic delivery structure (Associate / Assistant Deans, Course Directors, Academic Heads of Campus, Module Leaders); the Head of Quality and Compliance; the Academic Registrar and Academic Services; the Head of Planning and Student Systems; the Designated Safeguarding Lead; the Head of Human Resources; partner universities (awarding bodies); and the Student Association. Committees: Senior oversight of the Student Experience, Engagement and Employability Committee, the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee and the Research, Ethics and Knowledge Exchange Sub-Committee; member of Academic Board and the Faculty Committee; represents the student-experience portfolio at the Executive Board as required.

Working with the Academic Dean The Dean of Student Experience and the Academic Dean hold complementary portfolios within a single academic leadership model, under the senior oversight of the Associate Provost / Provost. The Academic Dean leads what is taught, by whom, and how well it is delivered; the Dean of Student Experience leads the services that enable every student to engage, persist and succeed. The two Deans are expected to operate as close partners: to maintain shared oversight of student outcomes; to align support capacity with delivery plans before each intake; to embed Personal Academic Tutoring, wellbeing, engagement, language, employability and integrity services within course delivery at every campus; and to present joint assurance on the academic student experience to Academic Board. Neither portfolio succeeds without the other, and both Deans are jointly accountable for the coherence of the whole. 1.
