Executive Reward Consulting Graduate 2027

What does this team do?

From bonuses to recognition, benefits and much more, a great reward and incentive programme can help to motivate a company’s employees and engage them in the workplace. In our team we partner with employers to design, implement and operate these programmes.

Our objective is to encourage employee engagement, whilst being cost-effective and compliant with global regulations.

If you are creative, like problem solving and have a passion for bringing the best out of yourself, and others, then this role could be for you.

What skills and academic qualifications do I need?

• You’ll need to have obtained or be studying towards a minimum 2:1 in any degree discipline and have graduated by September 2027 for the Autumn 2027 intake.
• We have identified 10 core skills that are essential to all our roles in Early Careers. To learn more about these skills and their detailed descriptions, please visit the 'Discover What We Look For' section in our Candidate Zone.

What kind of work will I do?

• We support businesses in enabling them to reward executives fairly (but not excessively) when their business does well. This is executed through the design and implementation of effective executive pay arrangements.
• We also support businesses to design and develop reward strategies and frameworks for their broader employee population.
• Our client base is widely varied. We work with around 30% of the FTSE 350, as well as many other businesses across a range of industries.
• Each of our clients have individual perspectives and challenges in terms of aligning pay with talent strategy, company values and business objectives. You will bring fresh ideas to the table and develop innovative, bespoke and pro-business solutions.

Where will I work?

At Deloitte we recognise how important face-to-face interaction is for your development in a new role. We also understand that our people need flexibility, which is why we operate a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. If you’re in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client meetings on certain days, which will be a mix of online and in-person events. Please note your final assessment and induction will also be in-person, to give you the opportunity to network and build relationships.

All our workspaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team. You can find further information on our parent and carer policies here.

How will I develop?

We want our people to have worldclass practical experience coupled with the technical rigour and knowledge that comes from the right professional qualification.

We think the best experience is being immersed in client work, working alongside other team members, and learning the practical skills that will set you up for a successful career. That will be the initial focus whether you are a Graduate, an Industrial Placement, or a BrightStart, supported by internal training and support from coaches, people leaders, and your team.

We think this is vital and will set you up for success when we further support your development with a professional qualification, recognising that different roles across our business align to different pathways. These may include options such as joint or accelerated programmes leading to qualifications like ATT – Association of Taxation Technicians, ACA – Associate Chartered Accountant, ICAS – Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, or CTA – Chartered Tax Adviser, as well as other more specialist routes focused on tax or technical expertise.
