About the Role:

Grade Level (for internal use):

Associate General Counsel, Corporate & Securities
 

The Business: In April 2025, S&P Global announced its intent to separate S&P Global Mobility ("Mobility") from S&P Global to drive long-term value creation. The planned separation is expected to result in Mobility becoming a standalone public company.

Mobility is a leading provider of solutions serving the full automotive value chain, including vehicle manufacturers (OEMs), automotive suppliers, mobility service providers, retailers, consumers, and finance and insurance companies.  Mobility enables customers to anticipate change, optimize their businesses, reach the right consumers, and shape the future of mobility.  Leveraging technology and data science, Mobility provides unique insights, forecasts, and advisory services spanning every major market and the entire automotive value chain—from product planning to marketing, sales, and the aftermarket. With a legacy dating back to the 1920s when R. L. Polk published the first vehicle registration reports, and trusted, market-leading brands such as CARFAX, automotiveMastermind, Polk Automotive Solutions and Market Scan, unique data sets and demonstrated resilience through business cycles, Mobility is well positioned to meet customer demand in a fast-moving, global environment. A separation will allow Mobility more flexibility to pursue near- and long-term growth opportunities, including in used car offerings and expanding both geographically and into adjacent markets. In fiscal year 2024, the Mobility segment generated $1.6 billion in revenue, a year-over-year increase of approximately 8%.
