About the role

Senior immigration and mobility expert to build policies, operating model, and trusted guidance that support Ramp's global growth; internal subject-matter expert working with external counsel to translate immigration law, policy, and business needs into clear decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Own and continuously refine Ramp's immigration, sponsorship, business-travel, and relocation policies, including eligibility, cost coverage, exceptions, and service standards.
  • Stay current on relevant immigration laws, policy changes, and market practices; assess their impact on Ramp and recommend program updates.
  • Develop practical decision frameworks for common pathways and scenarios— including travel timing, filing approach.
  • Explain the rationale behind policies and visa-pathway recommendations in plain language, building trust with employees, managers, Recruiting, and other partners.
  • Partner closely with external counsel on complex, precedent-setting, or white-glove cases; know when to seek legal advice and ensure Ramp makes timely operational decisions.
  • Own the strategy and operating cadence with immigration counsel and relocation vendors, including selection, SLAs, escalation paths, QBRs, and performance improvement.
  • Serve as Ramp's practical voice of reason for cross-functional stakeholders (HR, legal, recruiters, etc.), balancing employee experience, business urgency, consistency, cost, and compliance risk.
  • Partner with Legal, Finance, Payroll, Tax, Recruiting, Compensation, People Partners, IT, and Workplace on sponsorship decisions, relocations, and new-country employment.
  • Build repeatable playbooks for country entry, relocations, and high-impact hiring so stakeholders know the decision maker, dependencies, timeline, and escalation route.
  • Set the function's roadmap, risk reporting, core metrics, and communication standards.
  • Personally lead the most sensitive or complex cases and coach the Associate on judgment, prioritization, employee communication, and escalation.
  • Turn recurring case patterns into better policy, vendor accountability, self-service guidance, and automation priorities.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years in corporate immigration, global mobility, international People Operations, or a closely related field; deep U.S. immigration expertise strongly preferred.
  • Current working knowledge of immigration pathways, filing considerations, and policy changes, with sound judgment about when counsel must advise.
  • Experience owning program policy, managing outside counsel/vendors, and influencing decisions with senior cross-functional stakeholders.
  • A record of building scalable programs in a high-growth or global environment.
  • Exceptional, empathetic communication and the ability to explain complex requirements clearly without giving legal advice.
