Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Project Development Manager Jobs at Hopper Jobs
Frame your portfolio around travel tech outcomes
Hopper evaluates Project Development Managers on impact within high-velocity, data-driven product environments. Before applying, reframe past projects around metrics like user growth, booking conversion, or partner integration timelines that map directly to Hopper's core business.
Verify Hopper's LCA filings before outreach
DOL's public disclosure data shows Labor Condition Applications by employer and role. Search for Hopper's LCA history under Project Development or related titles to confirm prevailing wage levels and the work locations they've certified before you negotiate.
Align your credentials to specialty occupation standards
H-1B approval for a Project Development Manager role depends on establishing it as a specialty occupation requiring at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Gather documentation showing your degree directly supports the strategic and analytical scope Hopper lists in its job descriptions.
Time your application around Hopper's hiring cycles
Hopper posts Project Development Manager openings in concentrated clusters, often tied to product expansion phases. Applying early in a hiring cycle gives your recruiter more runway to complete an H-1B filing before the April 1 USCIS cap-subject registration window.
Ask about Green Card intent during the offer stage
Hopper sponsors both H-1B and employment-based Green Cards for this function. Once you have an offer, ask HR directly whether they initiate PERM labor certification for Project Development Managers, and how long the typical internal process takes to begin.
Use Migrate Mate to surface active openings efficiently
Hopper's Project Development Manager roles aren't always easy to track across job boards. Use Migrate Mate to filter for Hopper positions that include confirmed visa sponsorship, so you're targeting roles where the company has already signaled willingness to file.

Find Project Development Manager at Hopper JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Hopper sponsor H-1B visas for Project Development Managers?
Yes, Hopper sponsors H-1B visas for Project Development Manager roles. The company has a history of filing H-1B petitions for this function, which involves submitting a Labor Condition Application to the DOL and an I-129 petition to USCIS. If you're cap-subject, your employer needs to register you during the March lottery window, so timing your offer accordingly matters.
Which visa types are commonly used for Project Development Manager roles at Hopper?
H-1B is the most common nonimmigrant visa for this role at Hopper, given its fit for specialized project and product management work. For candidates on a longer-term path, Hopper also supports employment-based Green Card sponsorship through the EB-2 and EB-3 categories, typically after a period of employment. The right pathway depends on your qualifications, nationality, and career timeline.
What qualifications or experience are expected for Project Development Manager roles at Hopper?
Hopper typically looks for candidates with a background in product management, business development, or strategic operations within a technology or travel company. Strong cross-functional coordination skills, comfort with data-driven decision-making, and experience managing complex project timelines are consistently emphasized. A bachelor's degree in a relevant field is generally required, which also supports the specialty occupation standard needed for H-1B sponsorship.
How do I apply for Project Development Manager jobs at Hopper?
You can browse and apply for Project Development Manager positions at Hopper through Migrate Mate, which filters for roles with confirmed visa sponsorship so you're not wasting time on postings that won't support your immigration needs. When you apply, tailor your materials to Hopper's travel technology focus and be upfront about your visa status early in the recruiter conversation to confirm sponsorship is available for the specific opening.
How do I plan my timeline if I need H-1B sponsorship through Hopper?
H-1B cap-subject petitions follow a strict federal calendar. USCIS opens registration in March, selects registrants by lottery shortly after, and approved employees can begin work no earlier than October 1. That means you generally need a signed offer by February or early March at the latest. If you're already in H-1B status with another employer, Hopper can file an H-1B transfer that lets you start sooner without waiting for a new cap cycle.
