The world of work is constantly changing, and Global Mobility is no longer simply about international assignments and secondments. Businesses increasingly operate across borders, bringing both opportunity and complexity. Our Global Mobility team helps clients navigate that complexity, supporting international expansion, global remote working and mobility programmes. Working with our global partner network, we provide support across immigration, permanent establishment, income tax, social security, payroll tax and Global HR Services, complementing activpayroll’s global payroll offering. As Senior Manager, you will play a key role in delivering and growing our mobility tax services. You’ll manage a portfolio of international clients, provide technical expertise, develop trusted client relationships and support the continued development of our team and services.
