• Driving oversight of business travel tracking and short‑term cross‑border risks.
• Helping shape clear, practical guidance for managers and employees on international working.
• Overseeing immigration and relocation partners where needed.
• Leading on international benefits management.

• Using data and feedback to improve programmes over time.

Key indicators of success in this role:

• Employees and managers understand the options and feel well supported.
• Our mobility processes are clearer, more consistent, and easier to run.
• International benefits work for employees in different locations.
• We manage compliance risks well without creating unnecessary friction.
• Our policies are practical, fair, and aligned with how the business works.

This is a chance to shape an area that really matters as we grow internationally. You’ll have real ownership, a broad scope, and the chance to make complex things feel clear and workable for people across the business.
