How the day will look like

As a Regional Compensation Senior Specialist, you will play a senior, hands-on role in delivering Compensation & Benefits activities across the region. You will lead or co-lead key workstreams in annual and cyclical processes, provide advanced analytics and recommendations, and serve as a primary point of contact for regional stakeholders on compensation topics. You will:

• Lead or co-lead annual compensation cycle activities (merit, promotions, incentives) through end-to-end data preparation, validation, testing, reconciliation, reporting, communications support, and issue resolution.

• Analyze and interpret compensation and market data to provide recommendations on salary structures, pay positioning, adjustments, offers, and program design, ensuring alignment with policies, internal equity, and market practice.

• Oversee complex compensation and benefits data, templates, trackers, and reporting, ensuring data quality, consistency, auditability, and readiness for governance and leadership reviews.

• Act as a senior point of contact for compensation and benefits queries from People Partners, HR Operations, Payroll, Finance, country HR, and other stakeholders, using sound judgment to resolve issues and escalating high-risk or policy-sensitive matters as needed.

• Support and coordinate regional participation in salary surveys, audits, compliance reviews, and governance activities, including job matching guidance, data submissions, reconciliations, and remediation plans.

• Partner with cross-functional teams (HR, Payroll, Finance, Talent Acquisition, Legal) to ensure accurate and timely implementation of compensation decisions and program changes, and track completion of key actions and deliverables.

What makes this opportunity different?

In this senior specialist role, you will have a deeper level of ownership and influence across regional rewards:

• You will operate as a trusted subject-matter expert in regional compensation, advising HR and business stakeholders and helping to shape how Aon rewards its people.

• You will be directly involved in complex, multi-country programs and initiatives, gaining exposure to a broad range of compensation and benefits practices, governance, and regulatory considerations.

• You will have the opportunity to improve and simplify processes, strengthen data and reporting, and contribute ideas that enhance the regional rewards service model.

• You will work within a collaborative regional Compensation team, with room to grow towards broader rewards leadership or specialized expertise.

Skills and experience that will lead to success

• Significant experience in compensation, rewards, HR operations, payroll, or people analytics in a data-driven HR environment, ideally with regional or multi-country scope.

• Strong working knowledge of compensation and benefits processes (e.g., salary administration, job evaluation, salary structures, incentives, benefits administration, salary surveys, HR data governance and compliance).

• Advanced analytical and problem-solving skills, with demonstrated ability to collect, validate, reconcile, and interpret complex datasets and translate them into clear insights and recommendations.

• Excellent attention to detail, discretion with confidential colleague and compensation information, and strong organizational skills to manage multiple recurring processes, deadlines, and stakeholder follow-ups.
