  • Process all Workday actions throughout the Wiser lifecycle
  • Partner with the Global Mobility team to manage international remote working requests through our Mobile Wiser initiative
  • Coordinate immigration requirements for new and existing Wisers
  • Support the Payroll team with documentation and information needed to process changes (joiners, benefits, leavers, etc.)
  • Produce employment documentation as required (reference letters, contract changes, government surveys, etc.)
  • Maintain team content on Confluence, ensuring information is transparent, accessible, and current
  • Oversee health checks processes where applicable
