Immigration Specialist (NAMER), Immigration - Hyderabad | Amazon Job

Job Description

The role designs the decision mechanism for comp/relocation/displacement dispositions, ensures execution team is running the mechanism at scale, manages complex edge cases, and ensures quality and compliance across LCA prevailing-wage determinations. In addition to the mechanism governance, the role is responsible for day-to-day LCA execution, as LCA operations are directly tied to prevailing-wage compliance. This is primarily a high-judgment governance role, with hands-on ownership of the LCA process that underpins it.

Key job responsibilities
• Mechanism design & governance: Design the decision mechanism for prevailing-wage dispositions (who approves what, at what level, for comp increase vs. relocation vs. displacement). Define auto-approve criteria, SLAs, and escalation paths.
• Day-to-day LCA execution: Own and run day-to-day LCA operations - LCA preparation, filing, prevailing-wage determination accuracy, and posting/PAF compliance - as these are directly related to and underpin the prevailing-wage mechanism.
• Tooling: Build and configure the approval workflow tool; drive automation opportunities to reduce per-case handling time at scale.
• Edge case management: Assess and resolve complex, non-standard cases that fall outside defined auto-approve criteria.
• Oversight & quality: Oversee mechanism design, QC, and SOP tweaks as the mechanism ramps. Run proactive audits and oversee contingent worker (CWR) quality and output.
• Escalations: Manage complex queries, escalations, and edge cases that require immigration judgment or institutional context.
• Stakeholder & leader engagement: Lead leader briefings, stakeholder engagement, townhalls, and communication planning for impacted populations and business lines.
• LCA accuracy & compliance oversight: Ensure prevailing-wage determinations and LCA inputs are accurate, partnering with Tech on MSA/wage-determination logic to minimize DOL compliance risk.
