How much would you say a global head of department would earn?

[tastychicken]

Friend has applied for a job doing global head of her Particular field for an American company based in uk. I'm being completely nosey but how much would a time like this earn? I have zero idea

Look up similar jobs on linked in and see what you can find.

There are benchmarking sites as well.

It will all depend on the department and size.

But you are being super nosy.

Job* not time lol 😂

@Twizbe I fully admit that I am. She's done so well for herself and I'm mega proud. But yes I'm being nosey

Why don't you just ask her

It would vary hugely according to field, industry, size of dept and various other factors.

£150k upwards.

@Sisisimone I couldn't ask her, it feels to rude.

@eurochick it's a big US firm - 3000 employees. What would you reckon at a guess?

It's impossible to guess unless you completely out the details. Go and have a look on Linked In or Glassdoor.

My ex is a global head of a department for a US company who have a UK presence. He earns around £150k a year plus bonus.

@MayThe4th that's unbelievable money. I really hope she gets the job. I wonder if it's the same company 😂

And depending on the sector it could be twice that and more! It's so hard to know.

It depends on many factors but the size of the company is crucial. In small companies a "head of" could be on £50k. In others, £250k. Then you have to consider sector as well.

Thats a tiny firm

It really depends. 3000 employees can be a mid/large size UK firm. Small I would say for global? 60-600k? Who knows. Impossible to say. I'm a head of and I saw a job for a director role similar field for half my salary earlier. Job titles mean fuck all

And yes. Salary one part. Bonus? Shares?

I'm one step down from 'head of dept' in a global firm with around the same headcount of perm staff but more if you include temps and contractors.

I'm on £85,000 + upto 20% annual bonus.

Is it trading in an investment bank? If so, £5-10m.

In our company that would he in the region of 500`K .

3000 employees is not very big.

if you specify company size and sector people can be more specific.

Without being rude, so please accept that, but that’s quite low for that kind of position.

@Swimmingpoolsally not offended. It's in the upper end of the range of average for my industry, I've done my comparisons with advertised roles and salary reports to make sure what I'm getting is reasonable. I suppose it demonstrates why so many in the thread have mentioned that there is a big range dependant on sector/industry.

We’re a small company and we pay people industry competitive salaries - amongst the globals we pay a higher salary that two thirds of them - we have many sources of information to guide us when we are setting salaries and if we were offering salaries at a 1/5 of market rate we would not be able to either recruit or retain skilled staff. Don’t assume small companies pay peanuts! Titles cost nothing - companies hand them out like sweeties, so they cannot be relied on - your skills, experience and the impact you will be required to demonstrate will determine your worth - even in a small company.

At that level, its more about package than salary, so you'll have a basic salary of say £200,000, plus bonus, plus car allowance (a few hundred to a few thousand pounds per month at our company), share options, work from home allowance, healthcare, life insurance, pension conts of around 25% of salary, plus role/industry specific perks such as private club membership and clothing allowance etc..

You need to be very specific.

Can you search for the expired job application? That's what I'd do. I'm nosy too but I don't think it's rude if you're genuinely happy for your friend and aren't pressing her for details. It's ok to be a bit curious

Agreed 3000 isn't that big.
