Welcome to the Global Mobility Team at BLAST!
At BLAST, we bring people together – across borders, stages, and time zones. Now we’re looking for a Global Mobility Consultant to join our team and help us ensure that our people can thrive wherever in the world our events take them.
You’ll be part of a small but passionate team of colleagues, working closely with People and Culture, Travel, Finance, Legal, and Live Events to build and run a world-class mobility framework that supports BLAST’s global growth.
What You’ll Be Doing – Your Impact
As our new Global Mobility Consultant, you’ll make it easier for people to move across borders with confidence – whether they’re employees, freelancers, or part of our extended network.
Your key responsibilities include:
Acting as an advisor on international hires and postings
Coordinating with P&O, Payroll, and external vendors (legal, tax, relocation)
Managing work permit and visa applications, incl. compliance and documentation
Providing guidance to cross-border employees and freelancers
Drafting invitation and support letters
Supporting the expansion of our Global Mobility hub and processes
Liaising with specialised legal counsels as needed
Handling admin tasks like budget tracking, PO creation, and updating WIPS
Taking on other ad hoc tasks as the need arises – flexibility is key!
Managing portfolio-wide shared services scope across key global operational regions
Ensuring close cross-departmental collaboration with Travel, People Operations, and Legal
Serving as the primary coordination point for all international mobility queries and escalation
Providing dedicated talent and event-specific support for global tournament operations
Driving process scalability and documentation across global mobility workflows
High-Volume Event Scaling, managing visa and immigration logistics for large-scale international tournaments involving up to 400 personnel per event (including Third-Country Nationals, employees, and freelancers)
Reviewing agreements with local partners and drafting special clauses regarding visa support, including negotiating terms, intervention costs, sourcing local vendors/counsel, and handling contract negotiations, term reviews, and cost analysis
Direct interaction and coordination with immigration authorities, government departments, and local regulatory bodies, rather than solely liaising with external legal counsel.
Local Entity Compliance & Corporate Service Provider Coordination, overseeing local corporate compliance requirements such as employer registrations, and local tax/social security considerations.
Who You Are – To Succeed in This Role
You're an excellent communicator, a proactive problem-solver, and a trusted partner to your colleagues. You thrive in a dynamic environment, love the details, and care about creating smooth experiences for people on the move.
