    The easiest way would be to parent your layer to a null, and then move the null. Your relative motion path for the original layer will remain unchanged when you move around the null object.

    The null plan is the best one. But just to show that there is more than one way to skin a cat:
    With your current time indicator on a position keyframe, you can click on the position property to select all the position keyframes and then scrub the position values. All the keyframes will adjust.
    A third way:
    Change the anchor point’s position.

    You could also add a couple slider effects to your layer and put an expression on the position with the two sliders as variables then add those variables to the x and y positions. (Add another slider for z position.
