What We're Looking for * 10+ years of progressive experience in global mobility, international HR, or a related field, including people leadership. * Demonstrated experience designing or transforming enterprise global mobility programs, including governance, policy frameworks, operating models, and scalable processes; not simply administering established programs. * Deep knowledge of international tax equalization, immigration processes, payroll considerations, and compliance frameworks across major markets, including the U.S., Europe, and APAC. * Experience managing global mobility programs for a multinational organization, ideally within technology, media, gaming, or entertainment. * Proven ability to lead organizational change, influence stakeholders, and drive adoption of new programs, processes, and technology. * Demonstrated success influencing senior leaders and driving decisions within a highly matrixed global organization. * Strong vendor management, negotiation, and relationship management skills. * Experience partnering with Legal, Tax, Payroll, and Finance on complex cross-border compliance matters. * Proven track record of building, scaling, or transforming global mobility programs and teams. * Exceptional stakeholder management, communication, and executive advisory skills. * Bachelor's degree required; Global Mobility Specialist (GMS), GPHR, or other relevant certifications are a plus. * Experience supporting Japan-specific mobility programs (e.g., shukko assignments, Japanese tax and social security coordination) is highly desirable given SIE's relationship with Sony Group. * Ability to travel domestically and internationally approximately once per quarter to support global mobility operations and regional stakeholder engagement. #LI-SF1   At SIE, we consider several factors when setting each role’s base pay range, including the competitive benchmarking data for the market and geographic location.
