About the role

Experienced Global Mobility Lead to own mobility policies, immigration casework, and vendor relationships, partnering with Legal, Finance, and People Ops to enable cross-border moves that are compliant and well supported.

Responsibilities

  • Own the mobility policy suite end to end: relocation, permanent transfers, short-term and long-term international assignments, remote/cross-border work arrangements, and business travel thresholds.
  • Run individual mobility cases from scoping to landing: package design, cost estimates, immigration sequencing, tax and social-security implications, payroll setup, relocation logistics, and post-arrival support.
  • Manage employment-based immigration casework in partnership with outside counsel: H-1B (including cap-subject and change-of-employer/AC21 timing), L-1, TN, E-3, O-1, F-1 OPT/CPT, and employer-sponsored permanent residence.
  • Own the internal timeline, the start-date reality check, and the manager/candidate communication.
  • Own right-to-work compliance across jurisdictions: I-9 and E-Verify in the US, Home Office share-code checks in the UK, and equivalent checks in our EU and other markets.
  • Decide and document the entity/employment model for each new market (direct entity, EOR, or non-resident payroll registration) with Finance and Legal.
  • Own our mobility vendor stack (immigration counsel, relocation, tax, EOR/global payroll): scope, SLAs, cost, and performance.
  • Model and track mobility cost, including sponsorship and premium-processing fees, and obtain required approvals before committing sponsorship or spend.
  • Build the tracking layer: mobility case pipeline, immigration deadlines and expirations, compensation comparisons, etc.
  • Stand up mobility dashboards: case volume, cycle time, cost per move, band penetration, offer-to-band variance, and equity-gap trend.
  • Write employee-facing documentation so moves and pay decisions are predictable and explainable.

Qualifications

  • 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 and escalation to Legal when needed, understanding of classification or permanent-establishment exposure, and clear decision communication.
  • Excellent written communication for drafting policies, verification letters, offer rationales, and executive-facing recommendations.
  • Comfort with ambiguity, high volume, and shifting priorities.
