Senior HR Specialist – Shared Services (France/EMEA) - Mobility

The Team 

Join the People organization at Mobility Global as the company advances through its spin-off journey toward IPO. The People function is focused on building scalable, compliant, and insight-driven capabilities that support a standalone, publicly traded future. The team values enterprise thinking, strong partnership, analytical rigor, and a roll-up-your-sleeves mindset to build solutions that scale. 

The Role 

The Senior HR Specialist – Shared Services (France/EMEA) - Mobility is a senior individual contributor within the HR Shared Services organization, responsible for ensuring HR data accuracy, operational quality, and effective employee support governance across EMEA, supporting an employee population of approximately 500 across France, the UK, Spain, and Italy. 

This role serves as a regional control point and escalation partner, ensuring HR transactions, employee inquiries, and employee relations matters are handled consistently, compliantly, and in alignment with global standards, local requirements, and defined service levels. The role emphasizes oversight, triage, data governance, and risk management, rather than primary transaction execution or ownership of complex ER cases. 

The Senior Specialist partners closely with HR Business Partners, Legal, Payroll, HR Technology, and external providers to reduce operational risk, maintain data integrity, and enable a consistent employee experience across the region. 

S&P Global has recently announced the intent to separate our Mobility Segment into a standalone public company.  For more information, visit www.spglobal.com/mobility.
