About the role

The Revolut People team is pivotal to how we support our people and manage a seamless experience for them each day. From on-boarding flows to line manager coaching and development, our goal is to create a partnership with our teams that's people-centric and value-adding.

We’re now looking for a Head of Compensation to bring our compensation strategy to life — translating high-level thinking into actionable frameworks, scalable processes, and impactful tools. You’ll play a key role in building global compensation structures, running our core compensation cycles, and guiding market expansion.

We’re after a hands-on expert with a progressive track record across multiple compensation domains. Someone who thrives on complexity, communicates clearly with senior stakeholders, and can confidently balance strategy and execution. If you're passionate about scaling systems, making data-driven decisions, and building for global impact — this could be the role for you.

You'll work closely with cross-functional partners across People, Finance, Legal, and our business leadership, with exposure to governance forums including remuneration committees and regulators. This is a high-impact role with clear growth potential, ideal for someone who loves building and helping others grow, too.

• Supporting executive compensation processes and engaging with governance forums such as remuneration committees
• Building scalable models, templates, and compensation playbooks for consistency across regions
• Providing data-driven insights to drive equitable and transparent pay decisions
• Staying up to date with compensation regulations and ensuring global compliance

What you'll need

• 5–10 years of experience in compensation roles at global, high-growth companies
