Are you experienced in global mobility and international P&O, and do you enjoy solving complex cross-border employment challenges while supporting people and the business?
At Xellia, we are looking for a Global Mobility Expert & P&O Consultant to ensure compliant, people-focused international mobility arrangements and provide practical P&O consultancy across the hire-to-retire employee lifecycle at our Copenhagen Site and headquarters.
This is an opportunity to combine specialist global mobility knowledge with broad, hands-on P&O support in an international organisation where your work makes a visible difference to employees and managers.
You will join People & Organisation (P&O), based in Copenhagen, reporting to the Director, Global Employee Relations and P&O Copenhagen.
Your everyday work combines international mobility cases, ongoing support for cross-border EU commuters and practical P&O consultancy across the employee lifecycle. You will work with employees, managers, Payroll, P&O colleagues and external specialists across countries, balancing accurate compliance with responsive, people-focused service.
You will coordinate complex international employment arrangements while supporting managers and employees with practical P&O advice and consistent hire-to-retire processes at Copenhagen Site and HQ.
Your key responsibilities will include:
Success in this role means international transfers and EU commuter arrangements are handled accurately and on time; cross-border payroll, permits and renewals are well coordinated; and Copenhagen Site and HQ receive consistent, practical support across hire-to-retire P&O processes and employee relations.
We expect you to bring:
Experience with cross-border EU commuters and cooperation with external immigration, tax or relocation advisers will be an advantage.
You take accountability for your work, combine attention to detail with a practical mindset and enjoy finding solutions to complex challenges. You build trust across cultures and functions, communicate clearly and understand the importance of both compliance and the employee experience.
“Behind every international move or cross-border employment arrangement are people with individual needs and expectations. We are looking for someone who understands both the human and business perspectives, takes ownership, and makes complex matters simple — ensuring our people feel supported, wherever they work.”
— Kira Mondrup, Director, Global Employee Relations and P&O Copenhagen
