About the role

This is a newly created Director-level role at the intersection of three agendas that matter deeply to Nexthink right now: building a world-class Total Rewards function, driving a significant Workday implementation to a successful landing, and accelerating the use of AI and automation across HR operations. You will report directly to the Chief People Officer and manage the HRIS team, operating as a peer to our HR Business Partnering, Talent Acquisition, and Talent Success leads.This is not a caretaker role. Nexthink has an established compensation framework — your job is to own it, administer it with rigor, and evolve it as our workforce grows across 19 countries. You will be the most senior HR voice on total rewards and people technology, ensuring our compensation programs remain competitive, equitable, and scalable as the business scales. You will partner with a dedicated Workday implementation team in Business Transformation who own project delivery — meaning you bring the HR expertise and compensation design authority, while they deliver the technical build.
