Description

• Supporting the process of business immigration for current and future employees. This includes outlining the factors involved in visa cases for Open Phil staff and visa candidates, coordinating with staff and candidates to get the necessary information, working with our external immigration counsel to develop case strategies and coordinate case progress, and ensuring that visa cases move forward on time by troubleshooting any obstacles as they arise. • Owning a portion of Open Phil’s immigration processes, communicating and collaborating closely with managers and employees to ensure that the U.S. visa and green card process is smooth and efficient. • Partnering with our immigration counsel to manage the visa initiation/renewal and green card process, ensuring a smooth and positive employee experience. • Identifying and collaborating on process improvements in our immigration process, making sure all visa/green card documentation/policies are up to date, accessible, and easy to understand for Open Phil employees. • Ensuring a smooth transition between recruitment and onboarding for employees requiring a visa. • Providing assistance with immigration inquiries, such as questions related to employee travel. • Taking on other special projects. We’re always looking for ways to improve our systems and practices to better support Open Philanthropy’s mission.

Requirements

• A seasoned immigration professional. You have at least 2 years of technical business immigration experience, especially managing H-1B and green card cases, with strong knowledge of the PERM process (including coordinating recruitment), I-140 petitions, and adjustment of status applications. • Able to work in a way that is consistent with our operating values of ownership, openness, calibration, and inclusiveness. • A strong communicator, particularly in writing. You will need to manage a large volume of email correspondence, and explain complex issues to employees and hiring managers clearly and succinctly. • Reliable, responsive, and able to prioritize effectively. Fielding time-sensitive and urgent questions and requests, as well as clearly communicating priorities to employees and hiring managers, will be key elements of the role. • Organized and detail-oriented. The day-to-day work will involve managing time-sensitive and critical processes around immigration cases. We need someone who can keep on top of a large number of open items and next steps while making sure details don’t get dropped. • Familiar with and interested in the work Open Philanthropy is doing. Familiarity with our causes and fields in which relevant work is done — such as global health policy, biosecurity, and reducing risks from advanced AI — is a plus, but not required.

Benefits

• Excellent health insurance (we cover 100% of premiums within the US for you and any eligible dependents) • Dental, vision, and life insurance for you and your family. • Four weeks of PTO recommended per year. • Four months of fully paid family leave. • A generous and flexible expense policy — we encourage staff to expense the ergonomic equipment, software, and other services that they need to stay healthy and productive. • Support for remote work — we’ll cover a remote workspace outside your home if you need one, or connect you with an Open Phil coworking hub in your city.
