International Benefits Analyst

Job Description:

Salary on offer is £38-£45K + Benefits

This role provides vital analytical and administrative support for Mars, Inc.’s International Benefit Plans (IBP), specifically serving our internationally mobile Associates globally. Managing benefits for a diverse global footprint means no two Associates' circumstances are the same. You will ensure data integrity across our retirement plans, challenge payroll anomalies, and directly support our global P&O, Rewards, and S&F teams.

What will be your key responsibilities?

• Data Integrity & Database Management: Maintain accurate employment, pay, and benefit records for IBP members in the team database, reconciling regularly with Workday. Resolve incomplete or incorrect data from global business units with persistent, collaborative follow-up.

• Retirement Plan Administration: Own the complex year-round maintenance and interest calculations for the International Associates’ Retirement Plan (IARP). Standardize data across different countries, currencies, and pay frequencies to produce annual benefit statements.

• Mobility & Contract Alignment: Coordinate with the Global Mobility Team to obtain Transfer Agreement Letters and local employment contracts. Identify non-standard clauses to ensure correct benefit provisioning.

• Pension Career Mapping: Create Pension Career History charts tracking individual Associate assignments and permanent transfers to determine the long-term impact on their benefits.

• Replica Plan Support: Support the management of a replica final salary pension plan, including updating exchange rate models, responding to stakeholder data requests, and distributing annual benefit statements.

• Payroll Liaison: Partner with host-country payroll administrators to obtain, review, and convert historical pay data in accordance with varying plan rules.

What skills are we looking for?

• Analytical Detail: Outstanding attention to detail with an enquiring mind to recognize and challenge data or location anomalies.

• Digital Agility: Confident user of Microsoft Excel and Word (updating/creating files and models), MS Teams, and other modern digital tools.

• Organisation: A methodical organizer who can manage complex workflows and work to tight deadlines.

• Benefits & Pension Aptitude: Prior experience with pensions or global mobility is useful, but the learning agility to quickly acquire this knowledge is essential.

What can you expect from Mars?

• Work with diverse and talented Associates, all guided by the Five Principles.

• Join a purpose driven company, where we’re striving to build the world we want tomorrow, today.

• Best-in-class learning and development support from day one, including access to our in-house Mars University.

• An industry competitive salary and benefits package, including company bonus.
