At Lithia UK, we know that people are at the heart of our success. That’s why reward plays such a vital role in how we attract, retain, and support our colleagues across the Group. We’re looking for a Reward Analyst to join our HR team and help us shape a reward offering that is fair, competitive, and effective.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference – using data, insight, and systems to design and deliver reward solutions that not only meet statutory requirements but also celebrate the contribution of our people. From salary benchmarking and bonus schemes to colleague benefits and reward systems, your work will help us recognise, motivate, and retain the talent that drives our business forward.

Reporting to the Reward Manager, you’ll be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking team that partners with HR, Finance, and operational leaders. Together, you’ll make sure our approach to reward is simple, transparent, and aligned to our store-first philosophy.

You’ll have the opportunity to be involved with:

• Support the design, documentation, and governance of Group and Head Office bonus schemes, ensuring they are fair, competitive, and aligned with business performance
• Deliver accurate statutory and compliance reporting, including Gender Pay Gap reporting, that supports transparency and ensures we meet all legal requirements
• Maintain and develop the Group’s job architecture, grading structures, and salary benchmarking so roles are evaluated and rewarded consistently
• Administer and enhance our reward systems, including Workday Compensation, making sure processes run smoothly and effectively
• Contribute to the development, promotion, and reporting of our colleague benefits offer, helping to increase awareness and engagement
• Provide data-driven insight and analysis that supports clear, confident decision-making across reward activities

• Previous experience in a reward, HR analytics, or compensation-related role, with a strong understanding of how reward supports business goals
• Strong Excel and data analysis skills, with the ability to turn complex data into clear, actionable insights
• Knowledge of benchmarking, grading, and reward compliance processes
• A keen eye for detail and the ability to handle sensitive data with complete confidentiality
• A collaborative, service-oriented approach, with strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with HR, Finance, and operational leaders
