Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Program Director Jobs at Humana Jobs
Frame credentials around healthcare program delivery
Humana recruits Program Directors to own end-to-end delivery across clinical, operational, and technology programs. Your resume should map directly to program lifecycle ownership, measurable outcomes, and cross-functional stakeholder management, not just project coordination.
Target roles inside Humana's enterprise transformation portfolio
Humana concentrates Program Director hiring across value-based care, Medicare Advantage operations, and digital health initiatives. Focusing your search on these verticals puts you in front of the hiring managers who regularly file sponsorship paperwork for this level.
Clarify OPT STEM extension eligibility before applying
If you're on F-1 OPT, confirm your degree field qualifies for the 24-month STEM extension before you start interviewing. Humana has sponsored F-1 CPT and OPT candidates for program roles, but a tight OPT expiration window creates friction in the offer conversation.
Understand how TN status fits director-level scope
Canadian and Mexican nationals on TN visas should verify their job offer letter explicitly describes management analyst or related TN-qualifying duties. Director-level titles at Humana can span functions, and DOL scrutinizes whether the actual work aligns with an approved TN occupational category.
Ask about PERM timing during the offer stage
Humana sponsors Green Card pathways through PERM-based EB-2 and EB-3 filings for senior program roles. Ask the recruiter directly whether this role has been approved for permanent sponsorship, and clarify the expected lag between your H-1B approval and when the PERM process typically starts.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open Program Director roles
Humana posts Program Director openings across multiple business units simultaneously. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for Humana roles tied to visa sponsorship, so you're applying to positions where sponsorship is already confirmed rather than negotiating it after an offer.

Find Program Director at Humana JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Humana sponsor H-1B visas for Program Directors?
Yes, Humana sponsors H-1B visas for Program Director roles. Humana files H-1B petitions across its enterprise, and program leadership positions in areas like Medicare operations, clinical programs, and digital transformation are among the functions where sponsorship has been extended. You should confirm sponsorship availability with the recruiter early in the process, as not every individual opening is pre-approved for sponsorship.
How do I apply for Program Director jobs at Humana?
Apply directly through Humana's careers portal at careers.humana.com, where postings are organized by business unit and location. Humana also lists Program Director openings on major job boards, but postings can vary in how clearly they disclose sponsorship availability. Migrate Mate filters Humana's open Program Director roles by visa sponsorship status, which removes the guesswork before you invest time in an application.
Which visa types does Humana commonly use for Program Director roles?
Humana has sponsored Program Directors through H-1B, TN, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and J-1 visas, with H-1B being the most common pathway for long-term employment. For Green Card sponsorship, Humana uses PERM-based EB-2 and EB-3 filings. The right visa depends on your nationality, current status, and where you are in the sponsorship timeline.
What qualifications does Humana expect for Program Directors?
Humana typically expects a bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as business administration, healthcare management, public health, or a technical discipline, with a master's degree often preferred for senior program roles. Beyond credentials, Humana prioritizes demonstrated experience managing complex, cross-functional programs at scale, particularly within healthcare, insurance, or regulated enterprise environments. PMP certification can strengthen your application for operationally focused roles.
How long does the sponsorship and hiring process take for Program Directors at Humana?
From offer to start date, the process depends heavily on your current visa status. If you need an initial H-1B, filings open April 1 for an October 1 start, meaning you could wait six or more months after an offer. TN and F-1 OPT candidates typically have shorter lead times. USCIS premium processing, which runs 15 business days, is available for H-1B petitions and can accelerate approval once a petition is filed.
