• Develop, implement, and maintain a global mobility and relocation strategy that aligns with business needs and regulatory compliance.
• Manage end-to-end international assignment processes, including policy development, relocation, tax compliance, and repatriation.
• Lead immigration management and work visa processes across multiple countries in collaboration with legal and external partners.
• Partner with legal, HR, and finance teams to ensure full compliance with immigration, tax, and employment regulations.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for mobile employees, offering end-to-end support across pre-assignment planning, relocation, and repatriation.
• Design mobility programs with full visibility into total compensation, tax implications, and internal equity.
• Maintain and optimise vendor relationships (relocation, tax, immigration) to ensure service quality and cost control.
  

Benefits Strategy

• Lead the creation of a global benefits matrix, giving clear visibility into benefits across markets.
• Streamline and modernise legacy setups to align with our global standards and employee value proposition.
• Ensure that benefit programs support retention and mobility while meeting legal requirements and budgetary goals.
• Partner with local HR and finance teams to track and optimise benefits costs, usage, and employee experience.

• 5+ years in global mobility and/or compensation management, ideally in a fast-growing tech or telecoms environment.
• Strong understanding of international tax, immigration, employment law, and cross-border compensation.
• Proven experience building and benchmarking salary structures across diverse markets and functions.
• Strong analytical mindset and proficiency in compensation tools or HRIS platforms.
• Excellent communication, project management, and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and legacy systems while building scalable solutions.
