Who You Are

You are a strategic advisor and a jurisdictional expert in the Americas (Canada, LATAM, etc.) with a proven track record of helping customers navigate high-stakes complexities. You are consultative, proactive, and passionate about turning nuanced challenges into actionable solutions. You are comfortable solving open-ended, high-risk problems and serving as the final authority on complex global employment and Employer of Record (EOR) practices. You build trust easily, collaborate across teams, and advocate for customers while strategically mitigating risk for the business.

As an International Consultant, you are the subject matter expert and trusted advisor for Justworks’ international customers. While the Support Specialist team handles tactical platform navigation and payroll inquiries, you focus on the complex moments—including jurisdictional separation guidance, international benefits strategy, and global regulatory compliance. You own the strategic relationship for customers expanding into diverse international markets, ensuring they maximize the value of Justworks' global offerings while maintaining total compliance.
