Compensation & Benefits Expert (all genders) - People & Relations

Join us as a Compensation & Benefits Expert (all genders) in our People & Relations team and help shape the future of autonomous mobility!

Join MOIA’s People & Relations team and shape a fair, scalable, and market-competitive Total Rewards strategy for the future of autonomous mobility. 

You’ll work closely with Kati (VP People & Relations) and collaborate across the People Business Partner and People Operations teams. Our 16-person team is split between Berlin and Hamburg and partners with the business to build pragmatic, scalable people systems. 

What you will do

• Own Total Rewards strategy end-to-end: define our compensation philosophy and frameworks that align with MOIA’s growth and product roadmap. 
• Design job architecture & pay structures: lead benchmarking, leveling, and salary banding for tech and non-tech roles; ensure internal equity and external competitiveness. 
• Run annual comp processes: plan and execute merit, promotion, and adjustment cycles; steer calibration and governance with leadership. 
• Evolve variable pay & recognition: refine STI/LTI concepts, incentives (where applicable), and recognition programs that drive performance and retention. 
• Benefits portfolio ownership: assess, design, and negotiate benefits (health, retirement, mobility, wellbeing, time-off, insurance) for Germany and selected international locations; manage vendors and SLAs. 
• Analytics & transparency: build clear reward dashboards and guidance for leaders and employees; monitor pay equity, budget impact, and regulatory compliance. 
• Policy & compliance: ensure adherence to German labour, tax, and social-security requirements; prepare documentation and audits. 
• Works council collaboration: partner constructively on comp/benefits topics and required co-determination processes. 
• Enable the org: create playbooks, manager guides, and comms that make rewards simple, fair, and understood. 

What will help you to fulfill your role 

• Several years in Compensation & Benefits/Total Rewards in a tech, product, or multi-function environment with scaling needs. 
• Demonstrated experience designing job architecture, benchmarking, salary bands, and comp cycles at company or BU level. 
• Strong reward analytics skills (e.g., survey data, regression, pay-equity and range utilization); you turn insights into decisions. 
• Comfortable steering senior stakeholders and driving decisions with clear narratives and numbers. 
• Solid understanding of German employment context (labour law interfaces, tax/social security) and experience working with works councils. 
• Fluent in English; German is a plus. 
• Willingness to meet stakeholders onsite in Hamburg & Berlin 1–2× per month.  

Nice to have: 

• Experience with SuccessFactors Compensation (or similar HRIS) and compensation planning tools. 
• Exposure to international markets (ideally tech and/or automotive) and LTI frameworks. 
• Background in systemic coaching/design or mediation to support change and communication. 

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds — even if you don’t meet every requirement. If you’re excited about the role and MOIA’s mission, we’d love to hear from you!
