Visa and Immigration Lead

➡️ About the role

Successful businesses think globally – but complex compliance challenges create significant barriers to global operations, forcing teams to spend vast amounts of time, money, and energy on administration instead of strategic priorities.

Traditional compliance approaches are too slow, vague, and expensive for modern business dynamics. That's why we've built the platform that automates compliance and duty of care for business travel, workations, and international assignments.

Our vision: A world where global business knows no borders – where compliance is effortless, so growth has no limits.

Your role in this mission: We’re looking for an experienced global visa and immigration specialist to help build and run our offering and its day-to-day execution. You turn complex visa and immigration rules into clear, auditable compliance logic and scalable, repeatable processes. Your focus is accuracy and clarity - so regulatory requirements can be applied consistently by both people and systems, across countries and edge cases.

🎯 What you will do

• Translate Compliance into Platform Logic: Turn complex visa and immigration requirements for cross-border work scenarios into structured rules, clear decision trees, and system-ready workflows our platform can execute.

• Own the Compliance Framework: Research international visa- and immigration regulations deeply, take full ownership of the findings, and solve complex regulatory challenges independently.

• Process Design & Operational Support: Create and document standardized, compliant workflows and provide expert-level support to our Operations (OPS) team.

• Customer-Facing Expert (Sales to Success): Conduct visa- and immigration deep dives with clients during the Sales, After-Sales, and Customer Support/Success phases to explain our solutions and build trust.

• Scale a Platform Solution: Bridge the gap between bulletproof compliance accuracy and scalable automation, keeping in mind that we deliver a powerful platform solution, not traditional individual consulting.

⭐ What you need to succeed

• Passion for Visa - and Immigration Compliance: You genuinely love digging into regulations, analyzing international frameworks, and bringing compliance to life for our clients and internal teams.

• Research & Ownership Mindset: A strong drive to deeply research topics, take full ownership of a problem, and stay on top of it until it is solved.

• Platform & Automation Focus: You understand that we are a tech-driven platform solution—you look at compliance through the lens of scalability and automation, balancing accuracy with pragmatism.

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in Visa- and Immigration Compliance. Corporate Immigration experience is a plus.

• Communication & Languages: Excellent consulting and communication skills; fluency in both German and English is a must.

• Analytical & Structured: An independent, highly structured working style with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, client-driven environment.
