Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Program Manager Jobs at Medpace Jobs
Frame your credentials around clinical trial oversight
Medpace Program Managers are expected to manage full-cycle clinical studies, not just timelines. Tailor your resume to show direct experience with protocol execution, site management, or CRO coordination before you apply.
Target roles labeled Clinical Program Manager first
Medpace posts Program Manager openings across therapeutic areas with varying titles. Filtering specifically for clinical or drug development contexts surfaces roles where your scientific background directly strengthens your H-1B specialty occupation case.
Confirm your degree field maps to the role
For H-1B eligibility, USCIS requires a direct relationship between your degree and the position. A life sciences, pharmacy, or clinical research degree aligns cleanly with Medpace Program Manager duties. A general business degree alone may require a stronger argument.
Ask about LCA status before your offer stage
Medpace must file a certified Labor Condition Application with the DOL before submitting your H-1B petition. Asking where this stands during offer negotiations signals you understand the process and prevents timeline surprises after signing.
Use Migrate Mate to track open Program Manager roles
Medpace runs a high volume of active Program Manager postings across its clinical divisions. Use Migrate Mate to monitor and filter these openings by sponsorship-verified status so you're applying to roles with confirmed visa support.
Plan your OPT or TN timeline against Medpace's hiring cycle
If you're on F-1 OPT, your 60-day grace period starts when employment ends, not when your status expires. Align your Medpace application timeline accordingly, and for TN holders, confirm the clinical program management role qualifies under your profession category before accepting.

Find Program Manager at Medpace JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Medpace sponsor H-1B visas for Program Managers?
Yes, Medpace sponsors H-1B visas for Program Manager roles. The position typically qualifies as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards because it requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant field such as life sciences, clinical research, or a related discipline. Sponsorship support is part of Medpace's broader approach to hiring internationally for its clinical operations teams.
Which visa types does Medpace commonly use for Program Manager roles?
Medpace sponsors several visa categories for Program Managers, including H-1B, TN, and J-1, as well as F-1 OPT and CPT for candidates earlier in their careers. For longer-term pathways, Medpace also supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship. The right visa depends on your citizenship, educational background, and where you are in the immigration process.
What qualifications does Medpace expect for Program Manager positions?
Medpace Program Managers are expected to bring hands-on clinical research experience, typically in a CRO or sponsor environment. A degree in life sciences, pharmacy, nursing, or a related field is standard. Experience managing study timelines, coordinating with investigative sites, and working within ICH-GCP guidelines is weighted heavily. Advanced degrees can strengthen both your candidacy and your visa petition.
How do I apply for Program Manager jobs at Medpace?
You can browse and apply for Program Manager openings directly through Medpace's careers portal, or use Migrate Mate to find and filter Medpace roles by sponsorship type. When applying, tailor your application to the specific therapeutic area listed in the posting. Medpace hires across oncology, cardiology, and CNS, so matching your experience to the division improves your chances significantly.
How do I time my H-1B petition if I receive a Program Manager offer from Medpace?
If you're subject to the H-1B cap, Medpace must register you in the annual USCIS lottery, which opens in March for an October 1 start date. After selection, your employer files the full petition. If you're transferring from another H-1B employer, Medpace can file a portability petition immediately, allowing you to start work once USCIS issues a receipt notice.
