Our success in this dynamic, global landscape is deeply rooted in our vibrant people and culture, which are essential as we scale. To support our continued growth, we are looking for a Global Mobility specialist to join our Barcelona-based People team and serve as a key strategic advisor to our leadership.
About the role:
As Codeway continues to scale internationally, global mobility plays a critical role in enabling our growth. We are looking for a Global Mobility Specialist in Barcelona to design, operationalize, and manage end-to-end mobility programs that support international hiring, relocations, and cross-border workforce planning.
This role sits at the intersection of HR, Legal, Finance, and Talent, and requires a strong balance of policy thinking, operational execution, and stakeholder partnership. You will ensure that our global mobility practices are compliant, scalable, employee-centric, and aligned with Codeway’s broader people and business strategy.

Immigration & Compliance
◦ Manage end-to-end immigration processes for international hires and internal transfers, including visas, work permits, and residence authorizations.
◦ Partner with external immigration providers and legal advisors to ensure compliance with Spanish and international immigration regulations.

Global Mobility Policy & Governance
◦ Design, document, and continuously evolve global mobility and relocation policies aligned with business needs, growth stage, and market benchmarks.
◦ Define eligibility frameworks, mobility types, and approval processes to ensure consistency, fairness, and scalability.

◦ Act as the primary point of contact for relocating employees, ensuring a smooth, supportive, and well communicated experience.
◦ Continuously improve operational workflows, tools, and vendor performance.
Compensation, Tax & Cost Management
◦ Partner with HR, Finance, and external tax advisors to manage mobility-related compensation elements, allowances, and cost frameworks.
◦ Support tax compliance processes, including tax equalization (where applicable), payroll coordination, and reporting obligations.
◦ Track and analyse mobility costs, providing insights to support budgeting and decision-making.
Stakeholder Partnership & Advisory
◦ Act as a trusted advisor to Talent, HR Business Partners, Hiring Managers, and Finance on mobility feasibility, risks, and timelines.
◦ Provide clear guidance to employees and managers on mobility policies, expectations, and processes.
◦ Support leadership with data, insights, and recommendations on global mobility trends and workforce movement.
Strategic Alignment & Program Development
◦ Align global mobility initiatives with Codeway’s talent strategy, international expansion plans, and employer brand.
◦ Support the design of scalable mobility models to enable international hiring and internal mobility across markets.
◦ Contribute to long-term workforce planning through mobility insights and analytics.
Cultural Integration & Employee Experience
◦ Support relocated employees and their families with cultural integration, local norms, and workplace transition.
◦ Partner with Talent and HR teams to ensure relocated employees are effectively onboarded, engaged, and retained.
◦ Promote inclusive mobility practices that support diverse backgrounds and employee needs.
Your Profile:
◦ 3+ years of experience in Global Mobility, Immigration, or International HR roles, ideally in a high-growth or international tech environment.
◦ Strong working knowledge of Spanish immigration processes and experience coordinating multi-country mobility cases.
◦ Hands-on experience designing or operating mobility and relocation policies and programs.
◦ Solid understanding of compensation, tax, and payroll considerations related to international mobility (in partnership with specialists).
◦ Proven ability to manage multiple stakeholders and vendors in a fast-paced environment.
◦ High attention to detail, strong project management skills, and a proactive, solution-oriented mindset.
