You will work closely with the Global People Team and Business Leaders to deliver the outcomes of the Talent Framework Program.

Your role:

The Talent Framework Program is one of the most significant global transformation projects across WMG. The project is being phased in over time to allow for effective integration into the fabric of the business. Phase 1 (completed), included the development of detailed job profiles that represent the areas of expertise across this iconic creative music business. The existing roles have been mapped into the new global career framework job profiles within each business and functional area and include standardized career tracks and levels across 21 job family groups.

Phase 2 of the program has just commenced in Oct 2024. Your role will be to drive the calibration of the initial job mapping that was completed in Phase 1. The key outcome of this role is to refine the job mapping both vertically & horizontally to ensure accuracy and consistency within functions and business groups globally.

• Lead the review and comparison of work content across all jobs within each mapped level for comparability and validate that it matches the appropriate job level descriptors

• Work with the Compensation team to inform your recommendations based on pay information. This may involve producing and explaining detailed comparative reports to illustrate differences that may need discussion and clarification

• Develop process to incorporate Joiners, Movers and Leavers not included in initial job mapping of Phase 1

• Finalize and document collaborative governance process for ongoing management of the job architecture with the People team leadership and hand over to BAU Process owners

• Develop necessary analysis, presentations and documentation to support the calibration process

• Work with Workday team to implement employee mapping changes into system

About you:

• You have played a key role on at least one career framework/job architecture project and have a strong understanding of what’s involved in this work

• You have at least 4 years' experience as a Job Evaluation Specialist or comparable role

• You have strong presentation and communication skills

• You are organized, structured, and detail-oriented in your approach to work

• You are curious, collaborative, and committed to your work

We’d love it if you also had:

• Successful completion of College Degree in Human Resources, Business, or related field. A Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, Social Science is preferred.

• Working toward or achieved Certified Compensation Professional (CCP)

• Experience using Workday HRIS
