Compensation & Benefits job opportunities in the GCC – Special

I frequently get calls from headhunters when they are looking for experienced C&B professionals in EMEA, and am always happy to refer candidates if I can. These positions are rarely, if ever, advertised online as the search is usually confidential.

However I have noticed a recent surge in opportunities being advertised for C&B positions in the GCC region. Most of these come from LinkedIn, so if you are not on LinkedIn yet, it’s time to hurry and create your full profile there !

I’ll link to some of the current openings here, starting with 2 positions that are open for UAE Nationals :

And now the positions where nationality is not mentioned :

I used to work for MS, the C&B team is great, the company culture is fantastic but you have to be ready for real hard work and being accountable for a lot of delivery. This is not for the faint of heart, but it’s a great opportunity to be exposed to high-end reward techniques.
