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.\nWhat you’ll own\nGlobal mobility\nOwn 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.\n\nRun 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.\n\nManage 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.\n\nOwn daily immigration intake and case execution, including employer questionnaires, supporting documents, employment verification letters, signatures, counsel follow ups, and case closure.\n\nOwn 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.\n\nDecide and document the entity/employment model for each new market (direct entity, EOR, or non-resident payroll registration) with Finance and Legal.\n\nOwn our mobility vendor stack (immigration counsel, relocation, tax, EOR/global payroll): scope, SLAs, cost, and performance.\n\nModel and track mobility cost, including sponsorship and premium-processing fees, so leadership can make go/no-go calls with real numbers, and obtain and document required approvals before committing sponsorship or spend\n\nData and systems\nBuild the tracking layer: mobility case pipeline, immigration deadlines and expirations, compensation comparisons, etc.\n\nStand up mobility dashboards: case volume, cycle time, cost per move, band penetration, offer-to-band variance, and equity-gap trend.\n\nWrite the employee-facing documentation so moves and pay decisions are predictable and explainable, not one-off negotiations.\n\nWhat we’re looking for\nRequired\n6+ years of experience in global mobility, with real ownership of cross-border moves and immigration casework, not just vendor hand-offs.\n\nWorking fluency in US employment-based immigration and at least one other major jurisdiction’s work-authorization regime (UK, EU, or Canada).\n\nStrong analytical skills: comfortable in spreadsheets and HRIS reporting, able to build a defensible model and explain the assumptions behind it.\n\nJudgment about risk. You know when to escalate to Legal, when to flag classification or permanent-establishment exposure, and how to say no clearly.\n\nExcellent written communication: you’ll draft policies, verification letters, offer rationales, and executive-facing recommendations.\n\nComfort with ambiguity, high volume, and shifting priorities.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3188,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Home office"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["LLM & Generative AI","Search Engines","Foundation Models","AI Search"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-24T21:20:10Z"}],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":52,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-01T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":225000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/perplexity-ai-global-mobility-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/perplexity-ai-global-mobility-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-01T19:05:53Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1535,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3465,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-02T00:00:00Z"}}}
