Job details:
Location: Bangalore, India
Reporting to: Chief Human Resources Officer
Scope: Global
We are partnering with a global specialist manufacturing organisation to appoint a newly created Global Head of Performance & Rewards.
This is a high-impact leadership role with a mandate to rethink how the organisation connects performance, reward and talent across its global workforce.
Reporting directly to the CHRO, you will lead the co-creation and implementation of a performance-linked rewards strategy that strengthens accountability, differentiates performance and supports the organisation's broader talent agenda.
This is not simply a role focused on compensation frameworks and annual reward cycles. We are looking for someone who can help shape a more integrated approach to how performance is defined, recognised, rewarded and developed across the organisation.
The mandate
You will:
- Design and lead a global performance and rewards strategy, aligned to business priorities and long-term growth.
- Build stronger links between individual and organisational performance, reward and career progression.
- Evolve performance management frameworks to create greater differentiation, accountability and transparency.
- Lead the development of global compensation, incentive and recognition principles and frameworks.
- Partner with the CHRO and senior leadership to ensure reward strategy reinforces the organisation's desired culture and talent philosophy.
- Use market intelligence, analytics and internal data to inform reward decisions and workforce priorities.
- Partner closely with regional HR leaders and business leadership to translate global principles into practical, locally relevant solutions.
- Help shape the wider talent agenda, including how high performance and potential are identified, recognised and retained.
- Lead change and stakeholder engagement across a complex, international organisation.
What we're looking for
We are interested in senior HR leaders who have operated at the intersection of Performance, Rewards and Talent, ideally within a multinational environment.
You are likely to bring:
- Significant experience in Total Rewards, Performance or broader Talent leadership.
- Experience designing and implementing performance-linked reward strategies across multiple markets.
- Strong understanding of executive and employee compensation, incentives, benchmarking and performance frameworks.
- A strategic mindset combined with the ability to translate concepts into practical programmes.
- Strong analytical and commercial capability, with confidence using data to challenge and influence decisions.
- Experience influencing senior executives and navigating complex global stakeholder environments.
- The credibility to operate as a trusted adviser to a CHRO and senior leadership team.
- Ideally, experience within manufacturing, engineering, industrial, technology or another complex multinational environment.
Why this role?
This is a newly created global position, offering the opportunity to build rather than inherit.
Based in Bangalore and reporting directly to the CHRO in Singapore, you will have genuine visibility and influence across the organisation, with the opportunity to shape how performance, reward and talent come together globally.
For someone who believes rewards should do more than benchmark salaries and administer annual cycles, this is an opportunity to build something meaningful from the ground up.
