Job Description
Instacart is an enterprise transforming the grocery delivery sector by offering an essential service that connects customers with household goods and groceries while providing flexible earning opportunities for personal shoppers. The company operates under a Flex First approach, granting personnel the freedom to select their preferred working environment from home, an office, or other locations.
Instacart is currently hiring a full-time Senior Global Mobility and Immigration Specialist to manage the corporate immigration and mobility program. In this capacity, the professional will oversee external vendor partnerships, collaborate with the Employment Legal division, direct Tier 1 support routines, and handle intricate individual immigration cases. The ideal candidate functions well within a compact team setting, operates independently, and communicates complex regulatory details clearly to personnel across all levels.
Over the course of a year, the chosen candidate will shape a self-service immigration framework relying on structured documentation rather than institutional memory. This function suits an immigration practitioner who enjoys both high-level vendor oversight and hands-on case management.

- Advise and collaborate with human resources, talent acquisition, legal departments, and business leaders
- Oversee global mobility tasks including relocation coordination, international transfers, and cost estimations
Requirements
- Minimum of seven years of United States business immigration experience
- Recent in-house corporate experience or law firm experience paired with program-level ownership
- End-to-end expertise in employment-based immigration covering nonimmigrant categories including H-1B, L-1, O-1, TN, and E-3
- End-to-end expertise in immigrant categories including PERM, I-140, and adjustment of status
Qualifications
- Prior experience working with global immigration vendors
- Familiarity with Workday and case or ticketing tools such as Jira Service Desk, ServiceNow, or Salesforce
- Background in merger and acquisition diligence, integration, or vendor requests for proposal
- Experience with policy design, remote work policies, or tax vendor coordination
- Proficiency in data and dashboard tools including Excel and Google Sheets, along with key performance indicator setting
- Experience utilizing generative AI for reporting automation and policy summaries
