IMC is seeking a Global Mobility Lead to join our Global Total Rewards Team to build and lead our global mobility program. Reporting to the Head of Total Rewards, this role will own the full spectrum of global mobility - from policy design and governance to tax compliance, immigration, and assignee experience - and will serve as IMC's primary subject matter expert on all matters related to cross-border employment.
As a strategic partner, you will work across HR, Finance, Legal, and senior business leadership to ensure that our mobility program is structured, competitive, compliant, and cost-effective. This is an individual contributor role, with strong dotted line relationships within HR. You will manage external consultants and vendors, and will be responsible for establishing the infrastructure, governance, and reporting capabilities that a program of this scale requires.

• Monitor and report mobility spend, program performance, key metrics, and risk indicators, delivering actionable insights to HR, Finance, and business leadership to support decision-making and governance

Stakeholder & Vendor Management

• Partner with HR Business Partners; develop training and guidance materials to enable HRBPs to manage routine mobility queries independently
• Manage RFP, selection, SLA governance, and annual performance reviews for all mobility vendors (tax, immigration, relocation, data providers)
