About the role

We're looking for an experienced Global Mobility Lead to build and run the programs that help employees join, move, and work across borders. You will own our mobility policies, immigration casework, and vendor relationships, and partner with Legal, Finance, and People Ops to make cross-border moves clear, compliant, and well supported.

What they're looking for

  • 6+ years of experience in global mobility, with real ownership of cross-border moves and immigration casework, not just vendor hand-offs
  • Working fluency in US employment-based immigration and at least one other major jurisdiction’s work-authorization regime (UK, EU, or Canada)
  • Strong analytical skills: comfortable in spreadsheets and HRIS reporting, able to build a defensible model and explain the assumptions behind it
  • Judgment about risk. You know when to escalate to Legal, when to flag classification or permanent-establishment exposure, and how to say no clearly
  • Excellent written communication: you’ll draft policies, verification letters, offer rationales, and executive-facing recommendations
  • Comfort with ambiguity, high volume, and shifting priorities

Own the internal timeline, the start-date reality check, and the manager/candidate communication.

Own daily immigration intake and case execution, including employer questionnaires, supporting documents, employment verification...
