Main duties will include:

• Implementing structure and process to manage inbound and outbound secondees and transfers
• Working with stakeholders to ensure timely and accurate management information is fed back and recorded to enable smooth relocation of candidates

You will be educated to degree standard or equivalent and able to demonstrate experience of working in an international HR capacity. Good knowledge of tax laws in varying locations are a must as is an understanding of UK visa processes.  

Due to the nature of my clients business the global mobility process is very reactive, therefore it is imperative that candidates have experience of setting up entities in new locations and are resourceful and inquisitive in being able to find out information on their own. A minimum of four years strong global mobility experience is required, as well as previous generalist experience and/or demonstrable wider HR knowledge.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills are needed to liaise with multiple stakeholders across all levels, and a high degree of cultural awareness comes with this.
