About Manifest

Manifest is a tech-enabled immigration law firm reshaping how legal services are delivered. Our mission is to make the immigration process faster, smarter, and more accessible for millions of people navigating one of life's most complex systems. Traditional immigration law is built on opacity, billable hours, and outdated communication. Manifest is different. We combine top-tier legal talent with modern technology to create a transparent, efficient, human-centered experience—and a trusted platform that enterprises rely on for critical, global workforce decisions. We're not building a better firm. We're redefining what a modern legal services platform can be.

About The Team

You’ll join a tight-knit revenue team that approaches sales like product development — constantly iterating, testing, and refining our advisory methodology to better serve clients navigating complex immigration decisions. Rather than traditional sales tactics, we act as trusted advisors who deeply understand each client's unique situation and help them understand their options at Manifest. Our team collaborates closely with Legal, Marketing, and Product to ensure every client interaction is informed, personalized, and built on genuine expertise. We’re passionate about transforming how people experience immigration services, combining the rigor of a tech startup with the empathy required for life‑changing decisions.

What We’re Looking For

• 1–3 years of SDR, sales, or client‑facing experience.
• Experience engaging individuals around complex, high‑consideration decisions (legal, financial, education, healthcare, or similar).
• Confident leading high‑consequence deals in high‑trust industries.
• Strong EQ: able to build relationships easily with a range of people.
• Operator mindset: organized, methodical, and able to lead cross‑functional programs end‑to‑end.

What You’ll Do

This role owns net‑new revenue for Manifest’s talent immigration clients. You’ll engage founders, engineers, and other individuals navigating the immigration system to diagnose needs, map requirements, and architect solutions that blend attorney‑led expertise with a scalable platform. The decision to work with an immigration attorney is a serious one – financially and personally. You’ll work alongside Marketing, Product and Operations to create a white‑glove relationship with our prospective clients based on trust, personalization and expertise. Once a client signs on, you’ll work with our Legal team to deliver services that exceed their expectations. Success requires structured account planning and disciplined messaging across complex customer groups.

This For You If

• Network‑oriented individuals where events and relationship‑driven selling feel natural.
• Hybrid “hunter + advisor” profile—equally strong in strategic thinking and tactical execution.
• Motivated by building something category‑defining rather than selling into a static market.

Not For You If

• Prefer hands‑off roles where you can avoid accountability for results.
• Uncomfortable with constant interpersonal interaction or find it draining to build deep relationships with prospects facing life‑changing immigration decisions.
• Find it difficult to thrive in high‑stakes conversations and confidently guide individuals through complex, emotionally charged decisions while maintaining the energy and pace required to hit aggressive revenue targets.
