Lewis Roskilly

Global Reward Lead at JGA Recruitment Group

London, United Kingdom

I’m Lewis Roskilly, Global Reward Lead at JGA Recruitment Group, and a specialist in Reward, Payroll, and People Strategy talent across global markets. I’ve spent more than a decade helping organisations build high-performing reward and payroll functions, advising leaders on how to attract, assess, and secure the experts who shape compensation, benefits, global mobility, and total reward strategy.

What sets me apart is the blend of deep market insight, commercial focus, and a genuine passion for people. I spend my time partnering with C-suite leaders, HR directors, and global reward heads to understand their challenges, map the market, and design hiring strategies that give them a competitive edge. I thrive in complex environments, whether that’s navigating multi-country payroll demands, shaping reward capability during major transformation, or helping organisations bring in the talent that elevates their retention, performance, and total reward governance.

Across EMEA, the Americas, and APAC, I’ve built a reputation for being open, honest, and relentlessly committed to quality. I advise, guide, and help businesses understand how world-class reward thinking drives organisational value. I regularly create market insights, "Get Reward Smart" newsletters and create a community for the Senior Reward Leaders in the industry a forum to discuss how to progress and move the needle that help leaders understand the impact total reward has on EBITDA, culture, and long-term performance.

My approach is heavily shaped by my past life as a professional tennis player. The discipline, resilience, and performance mindset from elite sport still fuel everything I do. I bring that same intensity and focus into my work: being prepared, thinking strategically, pushing for continuous improvement, and showing up every day aiming to be better than the day before. It’s given me a strong sense of how high-performance environments operate and how the right people can completely transform them.

I’m passionate about raising the standard of recruitment in reward and payroll. I mentor emerging recruiters, support professionals exploring career moves, and champion a more human, thoughtful, and insight-led approach to hiring. I love what I do because it sits at the intersection of people, strategy, and performance... the areas where I feel I can make a real impact.

At my core, I believe that when people perform at their best, businesses grow and the right reward strategy is often the catalyst. My role is to help leaders find the talent who can make that happen, and to support candidates in unlocking opportunities that truly elevate their careers. If there’s one thread running through my career, from tennis courts to boardrooms, it’s this: high performance is built on clarity, mindset, and the right team around you.
