Since our founding in 2015, we have expanded across four continents, driven by a mission to provide innovative, technology-led trading solutions. As the official partner of Newcastle United F.C., we aim to break traditional boundaries in personal finance.
- We are currently in a phase of exponential growth, scaling our global presence and workforce to meet ambitious strategic targets. At VT Markets, we operate with a "Breaking Boundaries" mindset, prioritizing results, excellence, and transparency. Join a high-performance environment where AI-driven productivity and data-backed decision-making are at the core of how we win.
- **Role Overview**:
- Join our regional hub in Kuala Lumpur as a founding member of our Total Rewards team. This role is designed for a "builder" who thrives in ambiguity and is ready to move beyond administration. You will move the company from legacy structures to a disciplined, data-driven framework, building the job architecture, salary structures, and incentive schemes that will drive our next phase of global expansion.
- **Key Responsibilities**:
- **Build Foundational Compensation Frameworks**: Standardize and implement job architecture and role leveling to ensure internal equity and market competitiveness across our regional markets.
- **Design and Optimize Incentives**: Lead the design and administration of variable pay programs. Build complex simulations to evaluate incentive affordability, ROI, and behavioral impact for revenue-generating teams.
- **Drive the Rewards Roadmap**: Diagnose existing gaps in the compensation landscape and independently build "from-zero" solutions, managing annual reviews, promotion cycles, and budget discipline.
- **Data-Driven Decision Support**: Deliver clear, quantitative insights to support hiring offers and internal moves. Monitor market competitiveness and pay positioning to ensure decisions are financially sustainable.
- **Strengthen Governance**: Identify and mitigate financial and compliance risks within reward programs while improving efficiency and scalability as the organization grows.
- **Requirements**:
- **Minimum/Core Requirements**:
- Demonstrated experience in Compensation & Benefits, Total Rewards, or as a quantitative HR Business Partner with a strong muscle in rewards design.
- Proven ability to build or significantly scale job levels, salary bands, and commission structures from scratch.
- Advanced proficiency in Excel and financial modeling to run ROI and affordability simulations for incentive plans.
- A "builder" mindset—comfortable operating in a high-growth, unstructured environment without a pre-existing corporate playbook.
- Strong commercial acumen with the ability to partner effectively with Finance and business leadership.
- Professional working proficiency in English to communicate effectively with our global leadership team based in Singapore.
- **Preferred/Bonus Requirements**:
- Experience in Fintech, Financial Services, or high-growth brokerage environments.
- Prior experience managing rewards across multiple Asia-Pacific markets.
- Proficiency in Mandarin is preferred to effectively support internal communication with specific regional stakeholder groups.
- **Why you should be interested**:
- **Architect Your Own Success**: This is a chance to move from being a "cog in the machine" to being the architect of the machine. You will have real ownership over incentive design and modeling—not just administration.
- **Hypergrowth Impact**: We are scaling globally at an exponential rate. Your work directly impacts how we attract the talent needed to meet our ambitious trading and net profit targets.
- **Data-Driven Culture**: Work in an environment that values quantifiable outcomes. If you enjoy solving hard problems through modeling and strategy, this is your playground.
- **Growth Potential**: As a founding hire for the KL hub, you will have visibility with senior leadership and the opportunity to grow your scope as our regional operations expand.
