About the Team

Our Global Mobility & Immigration team supports the movement of exceptional talent across borders, enabling OpenAI’s mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. We partner closely with Recruiting, Legal, HR, and external vendors to deliver a seamless and principled immigration experience.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Global Immigration Business Partner to lead and evolve our global immigration programs with a strong mix of strategic insight and operational discipline. In this role, you’ll serve as the primary advisor to Recruiting, Legal, and business stakeholders across the U.S., EMEA, and APAC – guiding candidates and employees through complex immigration processes. This is a high-impact, program-focused role: you’ll be supported on day-to-day execution so you can concentrate on designing scalable processes, managing vendor performance, advising stakeholders, and resolving nuanced issues. You’ll also help anticipate future needs, manage risk, and ensure our systems and spend align with company growth. That said, no task is beneath you – you’re comfortable rolling up your sleeves when needed to keep the program moving. This position reports to the Global Mobility & Immigration Manager based in San Francisco.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Serve as the primary partner to Recruiting, Legal, and HR teams for all immigration matters across the U.S. and APAC; in the future – EMEA, LatAm and beyond.

  • Partner with our immigration vendor to ensure timely, high-quality support

  • Guide candidates, employees, and hiring teams through immigration options and timelines, while anticipating risks and triaging urgent cases as needed.

  • Explore and implement AI-powered solutions to streamline immigration workflows, drive efficiency, and improve case accuracy at scale

  • Educate internal partners, e.g., Recruiting and HRBPs about our immigration processes and our offerings.

  • Own program-level budgeting and forecasting, flagging trends and spend drivers.

  • Ensure global immigration compliance and proactively advise on minimizing company risk and legal exposure.

  • Ensure our global mobility practices align with company values and international legal requirements.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally on policy design, communications, and tooling improvements.

We’re Seeking:

  • 6+ years of experience in corporate immigration or global mobility, including strong U.S. and APAC focus and exposure to EMEA and LatAm regions.

  • Deep understanding of work visa types, green card strategies, and business travel visas.

  • Experience managing immigration vendors and working cross-functionally with Legal, HR, and Recruiting.

  • Strong judgment and comfort triaging sensitive or urgent escalations

  • Strategic and structured thinker; understands how to scale programs in fast-paced environments.

  • Precision, proactivity, and a commitment to delivering an exceptional experience for candidates and internal teams alike.

Workplace & Location

This role is based in our San Francisco office and we aren't considering remote applications. We offer relocation support to new employees, and we use a hybrid work model: three days in the office per week with optional work from home on Thursdays and Fridays.

Our open-plan offices have height-adjustable desks, conference rooms, phone booths, well-stocked kitchens full of snacks and drinks, three in-house prepared meals daily, a private outdoor space for working in the sun or socializing, nap rooms, private bike storage, and more.
