• Own end‑to‑end talent pipeline logistics: gather vacancy requirements, drive initial sourcing, and enforce rigorous background‑check protocols (diplomas, certifications, references, compensation expectations).
• Deploy and manage remote assessment platforms, coordinate complex scheduling matrices, and support final business arbitration.
• Maintain the regional mobility matrix, tracking visas, passports and language competencies.
• Coordinate rotation schedules, cross‑border mobilisations and field handovers to ensure zero operational downtime on remote sites.
