We are looking for a team member who brings ideas forward, champion others and work together to do better.

  • Represent the Nordics in our global Total Rewards community and contribute to shaping Nouryon's Group-wide reward agenda.
  • Use analytics and insights to monitor and optimize pay practices while ensuring compliance with local legislation.
  • Drive harmonization projects and play a key role in supporting business transformation.

Your background likely includes:

  • A degree in Finance, Business Administration, HR, or related field.
  • At least 5 years' experience in a rewards/compensation role.
  • Solid experience in Total Rewards, including collective labour agreements (CLAs), job architecture and banding structures
  • Proven track record in annual salary reviews, bonus programs, and benefits design
  • Experience from both white-collar and blue-collar environments
  • International matrix experience and fluency in English
