RWE Supply & Trading GmbH has around 1,600 employees from 45 countries and is the international trading house for RWE. We are active on Europe’s largest energy trading floor in Essen as well as in London, New York and Prague. On growth markets outside Europe, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, we are the hub for electricity, gas, biomass, raw materials and emission certificates. We provide large industrial companies and trading partners with energy supply solutions and risk management concepts. We also ensure commercial optimisation of the RWE power stations, operate storage for natural gas and market renewable energy generated by RWE Renewables. Our innovative solutions pave the way to the future of energy – and to a sustainable life.
	 Nurturing internal talent in an organisation is a key role as it is becoming more and more strategic and advisory. Hence, we’re living a mindset that shaping and leading a reward strategy is instrumental for the company in order to attract, retain, engage and motivate employees while remaining consistent with our values.
	 We are now looking for a Head of Reward to join our global HR Reward team at RWE Supply & Trading GmbH (RWEST) on a permanent basis. The role shall be based in our headquarters in Essen (Germany) and will report to the Global Head of HR.
	 This position is an exciting opportunity for an experienced reward specialist to join an international leading energy trading house which is in a period of growth. As Head of Reward you will be leading the further design and implementation of our reward framework in line with our overall business strategy and philosophy. Therefore, you will play an instrumental role in managing and overseeing all compensation and benefits elements, reward policies and remuneration practices and align these to business needs. Furthermore, you will be responsible for benchmarking market data in order to develop long-term strategies. As our business is growing, you will develop strategies for moving our employees across borders and countries and come up with recommendations for adopting our reward framework accordingly whilst advising on policies and processes. You will work hand in hand with the operational HR team members and HR Business Partners to ensure close alignment in terms of business goals.

This is the team you will be joining
	 One common myth about reward is that it is a backroom, non-client-facing role where you’ll mainly be dealing with technical systems. This is definitely not true with us – at RWEST, reward is integral to HR and the business as a whole. Right from the beginning, you’ll be making a difference within the team and will be supported through a variety of great benefits:
 <ul>
 <li>Competitive salary plus annual bonus and further benefits (e.g. company pension scheme, company car, etc.)</li>
 <li>Open and diverse company culture with flat hierarchies</li>
 <li>Great team spirit and an office located on our new state-of-the-art campus</li>
 </ul>
