Do you want to take full ownership of Compensation & Benefits and build a modern, scalable reward framework from the ground up? Are you motivated by strategic influence, high professional standards, and the opportunity to shape how a fast-growing organisation attracts, rewards, and retains talent? Then this could be a unique opportunity for you at atNorth.
atNorth is on a hyper scale journey across the Nordic region and is entering a new phase of professionalisation within People & Culture. As part of this journey, the company is establishing the role of Senior Compensation & Benefits Manager – a newly created, central specialist position.
You will be the first dedicated Compensation & Benefits professional at atNorth, with full end-to-end responsibility for designing, implementing, and continuously developing the company’s reward framework. Acting as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, you will help ensure that compensation and benefits are competitive, transparent, compliant, and aligned with business strategy in a highly competitive market.
You will be part of the People & Culture function, reporting to the Director of People & Culture, and will work closely with P&C Business Partners and senior stakeholders across countries.
Establish and own atNorth’s Compensation & Benefits framework from the ground up
Design, develop, and govern salary structures, salary bands, and job architectures
Develop and manage short-term incentive schemes and long-term incentive plans (LTIP)
Ensure compliance with relevant legislation, including equal pay requirements and the EU Pay Transparency Directive
Build and maintain compensation dashboards, analytics, and people data insights
Provide strategic advisory support to senior leadership on reward, governance, and benchmarking
Support annual salary review processes and compensation budgeting
Act as subject-matter expert within compensation and reward in a fast-evolving organisation
The role has a strong analytical and strategic focus, with emphasis on structure, governance, and advisory rather than day-to-day employee support.
We imagine that you:
Have solid experience within Compensation & Benefits, ideally from a larger, international organisation (+1,000 employees)
Have hands-on experience designing and implementing salary structures, incentive programmes, and governance frameworks
Possess strong knowledge of compliance, equal pay, and regulatory requirements
Thrive in building something from scratch and being the go-to expert in your field
Are highly analytical, structured, and data-oriented, while also being collaborative and relationship-driven
Feel confident presenting and advising in English at Executive Committee and potentially Board level
Experience with taxation and international reward structures is considered an advantage, but not a requirement.
A key role in a fast-growing, international, and sustainability-driven company
A unique opportunity to shape the Compensation & Benefits agenda from the very beginning
High degree of autonomy, trust, and influence
Short decision-making paths and strong leadership commitment
An ambitious and professional People & Culture team
Competitive compensation and flexible working conditions
A Nordic role with cross-border collaboration
