Read This First

This is an expert-level role. We are not building a training runway. You will own the compliance layer from day one, with no one reviewing your I-9s behind you. If your experience is in collecting documents for someone else to verify, or you have covered onboarding paperwork without owning work authorization tracking and immigration coordination, this role is not the right fit and we would rather tell you now than at the offer stage. Compliance errors here carry legal and financial consequences, so we are hiring for judgement that is already formed.

About the Role

You will own the paperwork and compliance layer sitting behind every consultant we place from our Trivandrum office:



work authorization verification, onboarding documentation, contract paperwork, and audit-ready record-keeping. This is a role for someone who reads the fine print, chases the missing document, and does not let an expiry date slip past.

What You Will Own

Onboarding & Documentation
- Run end-to-end onboarding for US consultants and employees — offer paperwork, background checks, drug screening coordination and start-date readiness
- Independently complete and verify Form I-9, manage E-Verify cases including tentative nonconfirmations, handle reverifications and correct errors on existing files
- Validate right-to-work documents, education and employment verifications without escalation
- Maintain personnel files to inspection standard with correct retention schedules

Work Authorization & Immigration
- Own work authorization tracking and expiry control across USC, GC, H1B, H4 EAD, L2 EAD, OPT/CPT and TN populations
