What You'll Do : The Senior HR Associate (Mobility) in Enterprise will provide subject matter expertise, operational support, and broader mobility guidance across immigration, relocations, international transfers, assignments, vendor coordination, compliance, and employee experience.

The successful candidate will partner closely with immigration counsel, relocation and mobility vendors, Legal, Talent Acquisition, HR stakeholders, managers, and the Global Mobility Manager to support employees across immigration, relocation, transfer, and assignment matters. While team members will provide guidance on internal ZS processes and practices, the successful candidate must bring strong technical U.S. immigration knowledge, sound global mobility judgement, and the ability to independently assess cases, identify risks, coordinate stakeholders, and provide practical recommendations.

• Partner closely with external immigration counsel to initiate and manage cases, ensuring complete and accurate information is provided.
• Act as a key point of contact for HR, Talent Acquisition, managers, and employees regarding U.S. immigration questions and case escalations.
• Support sponsorship assessments for new hires, transfers, extensions, amendments, work authorization changes, and permanent residency cases.
• Identify immigration risks, compliance concerns, upcoming visa expirations, and employee max-out situations, and provide recommendations for resolution.
• Support broader global mobility activities, including employee relocations, international transfers, assignments, assignment-related benefits, vendor coordination, cost estimates, employee guidance, and cross-functional case management.
• Collaborate with Legal and the Global Mobility Manager on policy interpretation, exception requests, compliance considerations, and strategic mobility and immigration initiatives.
• Develop and continuously enhance immigration metrics, dashboards, and reporting to support data-driven decision-making, identify emerging risks and trends, monitor program performance, and provide Mobility and leadership with actionable insights.
• Contribute to employee communications, stakeholder education, and guidance materials related to U.S. immigration requirements.

What You'll Bring:

• 3-6 years of experience managing U.S. employment-based immigration programs and/or broader global mobility activities, including relocations, international transfers, assignments, vendor coordination, employee support, compliance, and stakeholder management.
