Deputy Director, Total Rewards

If you're looking for a role where your work shapes reward strategy across one of Singapore's largest and most complex healthcare ecosystems, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Our client is seeking an experienced Total Rewards professional to drive organisation-wide compensation strategy, rewards governance and policy development within a highly matrixed environment supporting thousands of employees.

This is a role for someone who enjoys solving complex people challenges, influencing senior stakeholders and balancing strategic thinking with operational execution.

The Opportunity

Reporting to senior HR leadership, you will lead the development and implementation of Total Rewards strategies that support workforce sustainability, talent attraction and organizational priorities.

Working across diverse stakeholder groups, you'll provide thought leadership on compensation philosophy, policy design, salary benchmarking, governance and regulatory compliance while contributing to broader HR transformation initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the review and development of Total Rewards strategies and policies.
• Drive salary benchmarking, market analysis and remuneration governance.
• Partner senior leaders on compensation-related decisions.
• Lead annual remuneration exercises and reward programmes.
• Provide strategic advice on job evaluation, pay structures and workforce planning.
• Guide and develop a high-performing rewards team.
• Drive continuous improvement across rewards processes and systems.

We're Looking For

You'll likely bring:

• Extensive experience in Compensation & Benefits or Total Rewards leadership.
• Strong analytical capability with experience interpreting complex remuneration data.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills with the confidence to influence senior leaders.
• Experience leading teams and navigating large, matrix organisations.
• A pragmatic, resilient and solutions-oriented approach.

Why This Role

This opportunity offers something increasingly rare-the chance to influence reward strategy at significant organizational scale.

You'll work on complex workforce challenges that directly impact the delivery of healthcare services across Singapore while partnering with experienced senior leaders on long-term people strategy.

This role will particularly suit individuals who:

• enjoy working in structured, governance-driven environments
• are comfortable managing multiple stakeholders and competing priorities
• find satisfaction in solving complex organizational problems
• are motivated by meaningful public-sector impact rather than purely commercial outcomes
