Pursuit is seeking an International Programs & Internal Mobility Manager to lead two critical areas of our People strategy:

• Own the partnerships and administration that support Pursuit's employer-sponsored visa programs; and

This role is Pursuit's internal subject-matter expert for international workforce programs, work authorization, and cross-border mobility. You will manage relationships with immigration counsel, program sponsors, agencies, and other external partners while ensuring individual cases and programs are administered accurately, efficiently, and in compliance with requirements.

It does not directly own recruiting or workforce planning but helps stakeholders understand available program options, requirements, timelines, costs, and risks.

Current employer-sponsored visa programs include:

• BridgeUSA (J-1) and H-2B programs in the United States

• International Mobility Program (IMP) and Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), including LMIAs, in Canada

• Other employer-supported work authorization needs for seasonal and year-round Team Members
