HR Global Mobility and Rewards Administrator

Harbor is seeking a HR Global Mobility and Rewards Administrator to join our growing team. Global mobility sits at the intersection of payroll, tax, social security and immigration; share plan and reward administration sits alongside it, connecting equity compensation, payroll and compliance. Together they offer a fascinating, fast-moving foundation for a career in reward and international working. The role is admin-focused day to day, but it isn't process-for-the-sake-of-it: you'll need to understand why things are done, not just how. Working closely with and supported by our Global Mobility Lead and Global Reward Manager, who own the technical and advisory side, you'll coordinate the moving parts of our clients' international assignments and share plan activities, steadily building your own knowledge of the technical detail — including the tax, equity and compliance elements — over time.

This is a great opportunity for someone at the start of their career — a graduate, or someone with some administrative experience — who wants to build genuine technical expertise across two connected areas: international mobility and employee share plans. We're looking for someone to grow with us. This is a hybrid position that offers remote work capability, with our office located in Nantwich, England.
