About The Position

Our mission at HubSpot is to help millions of organizations grow better. As Director, Immigration & Mobility Programs, you’ll own how HubSpot hires, moves, and retains talent across countries—ensuring our immigration and mobility programs scale with the business, withstand regulatory change, and support critical workforce decisions. This role is responsible for building durable programs, clear governance, and strong operating discipline across immigration and mobility, while balancing employee experience, risk, cost, and business agility.

This role sits at the intersection of immigration, mobility, workforce strategy, and employee experience, with a mandate to design scalable programs that support hiring, internal mobility, and growth amid regulatory change. You’ll partner closely with senior leaders across People, Legal, and Finance to ensure HubSpot’s global workforce can scale with confidence, care, and clarity.

Requirements

• Proven ownership of global immigration and/or mobility programs at scale, with accountability for outcomes—not just execution—in multi-country environments.
• Strong judgment navigating regulatory risk, employee impact, and business tradeoffs, including deciding what to handle in-house versus through vendors.
• Experience setting strategy and guardrails, including designing operating models, policies, and governance that hold up through growth, change, and ambiguity.
• Track record of measurable impact, particularly through vendor performance management, cost governance, and service quality improvement.
• Executive-level influence, with the ability to advise senior People, Legal, and business leaders on high-stakes workforce and mobility decisions.
• People leadership and operational discipline, including developing teams and establishing metrics, dashboards, and reporting rhythms that inform leadership decisions.

Nice To Haves

• Experience advising on immigration and mobility implications of workforce strategy, including internal mobility, early talent programs, M&A, or new entity expansion.
• Deep partnership experience with Employment Legal, Tax, and Total Rewards, particularly in high-risk or highly regulated contexts.
• Track record of leading teams through transformation, shifting work from transactional execution to strategic advisory and program ownership.
• Experience in high-growth technology or SaaS companies with global technical talent populations.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end immigration and mobility operating model, completing the transition to a scalable, durable structure with clear tiering, governance, and accountability across People Ops, vendors, and internal partners.
• Set the strategy and guardrails for how HubSpot hires and moves talent globally, advising senior People and TA leaders on location decisions, sponsorship approaches, and mobility tradeoffs.
• Design and maintain global immigration and mobility policies that are practical, defensible, and aligned to HubSpot’s people philosophy and long-term workforce strategy.
• Build and operationalize governance frameworks and contingency playbooks to respond to regulatory volatility, geopolitical risk, and policy change.
• Optimize vendor strategy across immigration, mobility, and related programs, including SLAs, performance metrics, cost controls, and renewals.
• Establish clear operating rhythms, dashboards, and reporting to monitor program health, risk, cost, and employee experience.
• Lead, coach, and evolve the Immigration & Mobility team, setting direction, raising the bar on judgment and execution, and evolving the function from execution-heavy to advisory-led.
• Partner cross-functionally with Employment Legal, Tax, Total Rewards, People Ops, and People Business Partners to deliver integrated, compliant, and employee-centered mobility solutions at scale.
