ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for an Immigration Specialist to join our People team on a contract basis. As Fireworks grows quickly and hires globally, immigration is a critical part of how we bring great people in and keep them. You’ll own the day-to-day management of our immigration cases, from visas for new hires to permanent residency for existing employees, and be a trusted, knowledgeable point of contact for the employees going through the process.
This is a fast-paced role for someone who enjoys keeping a high volume of cases moving at once, stays current on a changing immigration landscape, and knows when a situation needs to go to someone else.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Manage our full portfolio of immigration cases, including permanent resident applications and a range of visa cases (such as H-1B, O-1, L-1, and TN) for new hires and existing employees, partnering with outside counsel on filings and keeping each case on track in a fast-paced environment.
- Assist in initiating work visa applications at a global level, with the majority of cases in the U.S. and additional cases in our global locations such as Singapore and UK.
- Serve as the first point of contact for new hires and employees with immigration questions, guiding them through our policies and processes and advising on straightforward cases.
- Use sound judgment to recognize exceptional or complex situations, and escalate them to the People Partner and business leaders with clear context and recommended options.
- Work with People Operations to keep our immigration policies and employee-facing resources accurate, clear, and up to date.
- Stay current on U.S. immigration law and policy changes, and flag developments that affect our employees or hiring plans.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- 2+ years of experience managing employment-based immigration cases, whether in-house or at a law firm or immigration services provider
- Hands-on experience with common employment-based visa categories (H-1B, O-1, L-1, TN) and permanent residency processes (PERM, I-140, I-485)
- Strong working knowledge of U.S. immigration law and a habit of staying on top of policy changes
- Excellent organization and follow-through, with the ability to manage a high volume of cases and deadlines at once
- Clear, empathetic communication. You can explain a complicated process simply to someone who is anxious about their status
- Good judgment on when to advise directly and when to escalate
- Experience partnering with outside immigration counsel and cross-functional teams to move cases through the process
- Experience supporting immigration matters outside the U.S., particularly Singapore and the UK will be a plus.
