Description

Join us as a Compensation & Benefits Expert (m/f/d) 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! Questions?

With office locations in Berlin and Hamburg, our diverse and international team comprising more than 60 nationalities works together toward that shared mission. MOIA is more than a technology provider – we are a partner to cities and public transport operators committed to creating more livable spaces and delivering mobility solutions that are reliable, safe and comfortable.
