Embed compliant ways of working and use reporting to monitor adoption and address gaps, alongside wider mobility automation, self-service and secure data management.
  • Lead, coach and develop the Global Mobility team and a worldwide network of local contacts.
  • Modernise policies and employee journeys across assignments, relocations, repatriations and permanent transfers.
  • Enable rapid, informed deployment of critical skills by advising on cost, risk, visas, lead times and location options.
  • Oversee international tax, social security, immigration, posted worker and permanent establishment compliance across both Global Mobility and cross-boarder business travel.
  • Manage specialist vendors, budgets, contracts, service levels and performance, using insight to improve value and outcomes.

What you'll need

  • Significant progressive experience in Global Mobility, including corporate leadership or senior advisory responsibility.
  • Practical experience of mobility & compliance technology, automation, data governance, analytics and reporting.
  • A strong record of leading people, setting direction and developing specialist capability.
  • Experience of developing or leading business travel compliance frameworks and managing immigration, tax, social security, posted worker and wider cross-border compliance risks is strongly desirable.
  • Experience designing and improving mobility policies, governance, operating models and end-to-end employee journeys.
  • Commercial strength across vendors, budgets, contracts, KPIs and SLAs.
  • Confidence influencing senior and executive stakeholders and turning complex risk into clear business choices.
  • A relevant degree or equivalent senior-level Global Mobility experience; professional accreditation and global transformation experience would be an advantage.
