Requirements
Skills
- Deep expertise in business immigration as it applies to mergers, acquisitions, and corporate restructuring — including successor-in-interest analysis, status portability, and the immigration mechanics of entity changes
- Demonstrated ability to manage critical, deadline-driven processes across multiple concurrent, confidential transactions with precision and care
- Strong written communication skills, with the ability to distill complex, high-stakes immigration questions into crisp guidance for deal teams, executives, and individual employees alike
- Sound, independent judgment — you'll operate with significant autonomy on time-sensitive matters where the right answer isn't always in a playbook
- 8+ years of business immigration experience, with meaningful exposure to M&A or corporate transaction immigration work
- Experience advising in a fast-paced, high-growth, or startup environment
- Background in scaling an immigration function or building processes from the ground up
- A genuine passion for immigration work and for the people behind every case
Responsibilities
- Lead immigration due diligence on prospective acquisitions and acqui-hires: evaluate the visa and green card posture of target workforces, identify portability and successor-in-interest considerations (PERM, I-140, H-1B), and quantify the immigration risk, cost, and timeline implications that inform deal decisions
- Serve as the immigration advisor to Corporate Development, Legal, and senior leadership throughout the deal lifecycle, partnering with external counsel on novel or complex transaction-related filings
- Design and execute integration plans for transferring foreign nationals, ensuring continuity of status through close, and providing white-glove support so that acquired employees experience a smooth, well-communicated transition
- Maintain compliance with domestic and international employer obligations across transaction structures, and own documentation and record-keeping for acquired entities and populations (E-Verify, myUSCIS, and related systems)
- Build the playbooks, frameworks, and policies that make M&A immigration repeatable and scalable as Anthropic's transaction volume and international footprint grow
