About Manifest

Manifest is rebuilding the legal system from the ground up—starting with business immigration. We pair top attorneys with powerful software to help global talent live and work in the U.S. legally, quickly, and with confidence.

We’re backed by world-class investors and scaling fast. As we grow, we’re looking for experienced, detail-obsessed Paralegals to help us deliver a best-in‑class client experience at scale.

Please note this role is based 5 days a week in our NYC office.

Manifest is hiring an Immigration Paralegal for our NYC office to support both the product team and immigration attorneys on high-priority and complex casework. This role is deeply tech‑integrated: you’ll work within Manifest’s proprietary AI‑powered case management platform and partner with the product team to test and refine new features before they’re deployed firm‑wide. You’ll also collaborate with attorneys on the most critical and innovative cases, requiring creativity, adaptability, and exceptional communication skills.

More than a traditional paralegal position, this role offers the opportunity to help shape the future of both Manifest and immigration law itself.

• Leverage technology: Manage all casework through Manifest’s proprietary AI‑enabled platform, ensuring efficient, accurate, and streamlined workflows.
• Test and refine tools: Collaborate with the product team to trial new features, provide structured feedback, and champion best practices for platform adoption.
• Support complex casework: Partner with attorneys on high-priority and edge cases, contributing creativity, precision, and strategic input.
• Drive case execution: Prepare filings, maintain clear client communication, and manage deadlines to keep every case accurate, persuasive, and on track.

• Minimum 3+ years of professional experience in legal or casework roles. Prior experience in U.S. business immigration strongly preferred; especially EB1‑A, EB2‑NIW, or O‑1 experience
• Demonstrated ability to manage casework from intake through filing with precision and accountability
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a client‑first mindset
• Highly organized, able to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast‑paced environment
• Tech‑savvy and proactive—comfortable adopting new tools, testing features, and integrating technology into daily work
• Strong willingness to learn, adapt, and continuously improve

• Join a high‑performing team reimagining how immigration law gets done
• Build deep relationships with attorneys who treat you as a strategic partner
• Be part of a mission‑driven company helping world‑class talent live and work in the U.S.

We’re not looking for case processors - we’re looking for trusted partners. If you’re passionate about immigration law, hungry to grow, and excited to do your best work in a modern, tech‑enabled environment, we want to hear from you.
