Global Mobility

PwC’s mobility vision is to invest in immediate and future mobility and inspire our people as a seamless network – to deliver quality services to our clients and each other. The Global Mobility (GM) network facilitates the global mobility programme providing expert consulting and services to our PwC colleagues which help to enable the achievement of this vision.

The GM team is a team of 20 who work cohesively in a supportive and collaborative environment. We offer two placements, one aligned to the GM and International Business Travel (IBT) population, the other aligned to our Immigration responsibilities. Both roles are varied, technical and analytical. The GM/IBT role has key responsibilities which support the team in Management Information (MI) reporting, database and project management as well as supporting our IBT population. The immigration role has key responsibilities in the reporting and management of our sponsor obligations and involves a great degree of project management. It is an exciting role with opportunity to develop technical knowledge and skills in the field and work closely with a range of stakeholder groups in Human Capital (HC) and our Legal team to embed and improve immigration processes. This placement will be challenging, exciting, fast-paced and most of all rewarding.
