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

• 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.
