The Global Mobility & Coordination Group, part of the HR Operations Section within the Employee Relations Department, consists of approximately five members. The team works in close coordination-especially with the relocation support members within the same group where information sharing is essential-and has a collaborative culture to move cases forward together. Note: You may also be asked to participate in and manage projects within the team, as well as cross-functional projects across the department (e.g., QCC activities or handling transfer cases).
