Job Summary:

The Immigration Data Analyst will support the company’s global immigration program and play a critical role in improving the accuracy, visibility and usability of immigration and employment eligibility data across the organization.

Major Responsibilities:

• Lead immigration data review and consolidation efforts, identifying gaps and inconsistencies across multiple systems and tracking tools.
• Identify and escalate immigration compliance risks related to data gaps, work authorization, and employment eligibility, while clearly distinguishing risk escalation from legal advice.
• Coordinate cross-functional process reviews to identify data gaps, ownership handoffs, and interdependencies across departments.
• Recommend process changes to reduce manual tracking and improve data visibility and accessibility.
• Partner with HR Operations, Talent Acquisition, HR Systems, Policy & Compliance and Legal teams to align existing immigration and employment eligibility data processes and consolidate data into a shared, reliable system of record.
• Establish and maintain data standards and validation practices in collaboration with internal stakeholders to support ongoing data quality, compliance, and reporting needs.
• Document end-to-end immigration data and compliance processes, including ownership, timelines, escalation paths, and system dependencies.
• Partner with the Data & Analytics team to develop immigration reporting that enables easy, on-demand access to accurate and actionable data.
• Provide basic guidance to business stakeholders regarding non-sponsored foreign national eligibility, employment authorization scenarios, and risk considerations, referring legal interpretation and strategy to internal or external counsel as appropriate.
• Assist the U.S. immigration team with tracking case statuses, document expirations, and compliance deadlines, and support audits through document collection, data reconciliation, and report preparation.

Education and Experience Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Data Analytics, Information Systems, Human Resources, Public Policy, or related field, or at least 9 years of practical experience.
• Must have the right to work in the U.S. without sponsorship.

Required Knowledge and Skills:

• 5+ years of relevant experience in data analysis, HR operations, HRIS, compliance, or a similarly regulated environment.
• Experience working with complex, high-volume data sets and improving data quality across multiple systems.
• Familiarity with U.S. employment-based immigration concepts.
• Experience partnering cross-functionally to align processes and improve data visibility, without direct authority over stakeholders.
• Strong process documentation, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to clearly communicate data-driven insights and risks to non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SAP and SAP SuccessFactors, particularly in data governance, reporting, or compliance-related workflows.
• Prior experience supporting U.S. employment-based immigration programs (e.g., H-1B, PERM, I-140, I-485) from a data, reporting, or operational perspective.
• Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in decentralized environments.
