Responsibilities:

• Analyze documentation for current and prospective employees to assess eligibility, evaluate complex or unclear cases, and determine appropriate next steps

• Analyze current immigration trends and regulatory shifts, translating potential impacts into clear guidance for stakeholders
• Assess and coordinate employment-based immigration cases, exercising judgment on when to engage outside counsel or internal stakeholders
• Own case status, deadlines, and documentation across various immigration matters, identifying risk areas and proactively resolving issues before they escalate
• Serve as a resource for employees and stakeholders navigating immigration-related questions, applying sound judgment to guide them through nuanced situations
• Draft and review immigration-related documentation and correspondence, ensuring accuracy and alignment with case strategy
• Maintain and interpret records related to employment eligibility and immigration cases to support informed decision-making
• Conduct periodic reviews of immigration documentation, identifying patterns or gaps and recommending corrective action
• Prepare analysis and materials for internal reviews or audits, helping surface findings that inform broader compliance strategy
• Partner with outside immigration counsel to shape case strategy, filings, and follow-ups
• Advise employees, managers, and practice owners on immigration matters, weighing individual circumstances against organizational policy
• Develop and refine templates and processes for common immigration-related communications
• Guide onboarding-related immigration needs for new hires, anticipating potential complications
• Collaborate cross-functionally with HR, legal, IT, and operations, contributing immigration expertise to broader business decisions
• Lead or contribute to special projects related to immigration programs as they arise

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in HR, Business Administration, Law, or a related field, or equivalent experience
• 2–5 years of experience in business immigration and its related compliance practices, or HR experience supporting in that area
• Experience working on immigration petitions end-to-end, including drafting full petitions as needed
• Experience independently owning complex cases from start to finish, exercising sound judgment along the way — this role requires someone who can operate effectively with a high degree of autonomy
• Comfortable identifying trends and gaps in documentation or records, and translating findings into clear recommendations for leadership and cross-functional partners
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
• Comfortable handling sensitive and confidential information
• A good team player who builds solid working relationships and is happy to pitch in and collaborate when needed
• Clear communicator who works well across teams and with external partners
