Position Overview
Align is seeking a hands-on Procore Systems Analyst to support, optimize, and continuously improve the connection between our data center construction project management platform (Procore) and our cloud-based accounting system (Sage Intacct).
This role bridges operations, finance, and technology, ensuring both platforms work in sync to deliver accurate data, streamlined workflows, and actionable insights for leadership.

The ideal candidate will be an operational problem-solver with a strong grasp of construction/data center financial workflows, accounting processes, and cross-department coordination. You'll oversee integration functionality and act as the in-house expert - leading process improvements, task oversight, training programs, and reporting initiatives that drive efficiency and informed decision-making.

- Create, assign, and track project tasks in Procore using the Tasks tool to ensure accountability and visibility.

- Identify and implement operational best practices to enhance efficiency across departments.
- Leverage automation tools and third-party connectors to support scalable growth.
Reporting & Dashboard Management:
- Tasks tool usage, system workflows, and integration best practices.
- Serve as the go-to resource for troubleshooting, best practices, and post-integration operational guidance.

Search Retail Jobs in VirginiaRetail STEM OPT Sponsorship Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
Which retail companies in Virginia sponsor F-1 STEM OPT visas?
Amazon has a significant presence in Northern Virginia and regularly files Labor Condition Applications for STEM-eligible roles in data science, logistics technology, and supply chain analytics. Large retailers with Virginia distribution or corporate operations, including Walmart and Target, have also sponsored STEM OPT candidates in technical positions. Sponsorship availability depends on role classification, degree field alignment, and the employer's current hiring needs, so verifying LCA filing history before applying is advisable.
Which cities in Virginia have the most retail F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship jobs?
Northern Virginia, particularly Arlington, McLean, and the broader D.C. metro corridor, concentrates the highest volume of retail-adjacent STEM roles due to Amazon's HQ2 campus and numerous tech-enabled retail operations. Richmond serves as a secondary hub, home to retail corporate offices and regional distribution centers. Tysons Corner and Reston also attract retail technology employers, especially those focused on e-commerce infrastructure and consumer analytics.
What types of retail roles typically qualify for F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship?
Roles that qualify for STEM OPT extension must appear on the STEM Designated Degree Program List and directly relate to the graduate's degree field. In retail, qualifying positions commonly include data analyst, supply chain analyst, operations research analyst, inventory optimization specialist, and e-commerce technology associate. Roles in merchandising, buying, or store management typically do not qualify unless they involve a formally designated STEM function. USCIS requires a formal training plan filed on Form I-983.
How do I find retail F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship jobs in Virginia?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa type and state, letting you search for retail positions in Virginia where employers have verified STEM OPT sponsorship history. Rather than manually reviewing LCA filings through OFLC disclosure data, Migrate Mate surfaces employers with active retail hiring and documented sponsorship activity. Narrowing your search to Northern Virginia and Richmond will return the strongest concentration of qualifying retail and retail-technology roles for F-1 STEM OPT candidates.
Are there Virginia-specific considerations for F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship in retail?
Virginia's status as a major technology and logistics hub influences retail sponsorship patterns. Employers in the Northern Virginia corridor often operate at the intersection of retail and tech, meaning roles may be classified under STEM-eligible occupation codes even within consumer-facing companies. Virginia also has a relatively high density of E-Verify enrolled employers, which is a federal requirement for STEM OPT. Degree field alignment with the O*NET occupation code for your specific retail role is the most common point of review during USCIS adjudication.
