• Create and maintain a Global Expansion Knowledge Base documenting processes, learnings, and best practices for future setups.
• Collaborate with internal teams (Sales, HR, Finance, Legal) to ensure each new entity is operationally ready for client onboarding.
• Develop and execute a strategy to gradually migrate clients from external vendors to direct management under company-owned entities.
• Ensure the continuity and compliance of existing services during the transition period.
• Identify efficiency opportunities and cost reductions through local entity management.
• Identify, evaluate, and manage partnerships with key local providers in payroll, tax, immigration, and mobility.
• Negotiate commercial terms to ensure competitive pricing and quality service delivery.
• Monitor partner performance via regular reviews and KPI tracking.
• Act as the primary point of contact for strategic partners, maintaining long-term relationships and resolving escalations when needed.
• Stay informed on global market trends to anticipate expansion opportunities and partnership synergies.

Requirements For The Role:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, International Relations, Law, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in global expansion, partnership management, or vendor management, ideally within EOR, HR, or global mobility industries.

• Exceptional negotiation and stakeholder management skills, with experience across multiple geographies and cultures.
• Excellent organizational abilities and attention to detail; proven track record managing multiple international projects simultaneously.
• Proactive, analytical, and solution-oriented mindset, capable of driving initiatives independently while collaborating across teams.

• Proven ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, leveraging communication skills, knowledge, and expertise to resolve issues.
