Senior Immigration Adviser

Job description

We have partnered exclusively with a global investment firm specialising residence by investment programmes. With significant growth now coming from the New Zealand market, they are looking to appoint a Licensed NZ Immigration Adviser to take ownership of their Active Investor Plus portfolio. This role has come about unexpectedly due to a succession shift, and the right person will be positioned to step into the leadership of the NZ investor immigration operation within the next 12 months.

This is a genuinely unique opportunity in the market.

About the role:
You will act as the NZ programme expert, advising high net-worth clients referred from their global advisory network, including the US, Asia and Europe. Day to day, you will:
  • Lead consultations with interested investor families
  • Manage the full application process for Active Investor Plus visas
  • Work closely with investment and property partners to ensure smooth relocation
  • Maintain strong working relationships with Immigration New Zealand
  • Support global webinars and client events promoting NZ as a destination
Clients are sophisticated and highly engaged. Accuracy, trust and relationship management are key.

About you:
A confident, technically strong advisor who can work independently while still being part of a global team. To be successful in this role you will be:
  • NZ Immigration Adviser License, or an immigration lawyer who has gained their license
  • 5+ years' experience (Investor/Business visa experience preferred)
  • Able to build credibility with private clients and senior stakeholders
  • Ability to manage complex applications with composure and precision
  • Experience inside INZ on these visas is extremely valuable and has been the profile of their most successful hires.
Applications from unlicensed individuals unfortunately cannot be considered.

What is on offer:
The Managing Partner overseeing NZ and Australia is approaching retirement. For the right person with the capability and ambition, this has a direct succession pathway to step into the NZ lead role, representing the programme on a global stage. You will have the full backing and mentorship from day one.
  • $90,000 - $120,000 + KiwiSaver
  • Bonus + commissions based on application activity
  • Work remotely from anywhere in New Zealand (Auckland CBD office available)
  • Flexibility to manage time zones around family/life commitments
  • International travel to global leadership events and industry related conferences (London, Morocco etc.)
This organisation positions itself at the luxury end of the market, premium service, immaculate delivery, and a brand with serious global credibility.

This search is being managed exclusively by CoLegal. If you are a high quality Licensed Immigration Adviser with investor visa experience, I would love to speak with you confidentially.
