Kerja Sepenuh Masa, Manager Total Rewards di Evolute - Executive Search Federal Territory - Maukerja

We are pleased to be partnering a fast-growing regional payments infrastructure client to appoint a Total Rewards Manager (circa. MYR16-18k monthly base) into their People team. With a strong presence in Malaysia and expanding teams across key markets in Southeast and South Asia, they are scaling rapidly in a regulated, high-growth environment. This role will be based in Kuala Lumpur (Golden Triangle area), Malaysia - default arrangement is five-days-in-office.

Job Description

As the client professionalises their People function, this incoming will be their first full-time hire for this critical Compensation & Benefits function. You will report to the People Director and play a foundational role in designing and implementing competitive, scalable rewards frameworks that support their growth ambitions.

• Design, implement and continuously improve total rewards strategies (base pay, variable pay, benefits, allowances and related programmes) that attract and retain talent across multiple markets
• Conduct market benchmarking and internal equity analysis to ensure packages remain competitive in the fintech and payments space
• Partner closely with the People Director and business leaders on workforce planning, salary structures, job grading and performance-linked rewards
• Manage day-to-day C&B operations, benefits administration, and ensure compliance with local labour and regulatory requirements
• Build processes, policies and reporting from the ground up — this is a genuine “build” opportunity rather than maintenance of existing systems
• Support broader people initiatives that strengthen employee value proposition and culture

The Successful Candidate

• Solid experience in Compensation & Benefits, Total Rewards or related HR specialisations, ideally within fintech, financial services, tech or high-growth environments
• Strong understanding of regional employment regulations
• Analytical mindset with comfort using data for benchmarking, modelling and decision-making
• Hands-on, self-starter attitude — you will be comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy while building structure
• Excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence at different levels
• Degree in HR, Business, Finance or related field preferred

This is a rare chance to own and shape the C&B function from day one in a scaling regional payments business. You will have direct impact, close partnership with senior leadership, and the opportunity to design modern, competitive rewards practices as the company continues to expand.

If you are ready to build rather than inherit, and want a high-visibility role in a dynamic fintech environment, we would love to hear from you.
