Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

4 transfer filings in the last year, covering 4 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 8 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • The Global Partner Lead (GPL) owns the global strategy and success of a named portfolio of Global Systems Integrator (GSI) partnerships. This is a strategic and hands-on role for a partnerships leader who can set direction at the executive level while staying close enough to the day-to-day relationship to drive real pipeline and revenue outcomes.
  • Each GPL is assigned a set of named GSI partners and is fully responsible and accountable for establishing, onboarding, and scaling those partnerships against goals set in collaboration with the Head of GTM Partnerships. GPLs also work closely with their Regional Partner Lead (RPL) counterparts to ensure the global strategy translates into effective regional execution.

Skills

  • When a breakthrough is delayed, the world waits.
  • Getting a molecule from discovery to patients, or a crop from lab to field, involves thousands of slow, manual, disconnected steps.
  • AI has the potential to change this, compressing decades of R&D work into years.
  • But that only happens when clean, structured scientific data and AI are built into how science gets done.
  • Benchling is the AI platform for biotech R&D.
