About the Team: Global E-Commerce's Governance and Experience (GNE) team builds the policies, products, and systems that keep TikTok Shop safe and trustworthy. The Category Governance team works across major product categories and with industry operations to translate category-specific risks and business needs into consistent, scalable platform solutions.
About the Role: We are looking for a horizontal product-solution leader to connect category and industry operations with Governance, Product, Engineering, Policy, and compliance teams. Unlike a role that directly owns one category's day-to-day operations, this role identifies common needs across categories and turns them into reusable listing-governance products, mechanisms, and go-to-market solutions. Candidates may come from product management or strategy and operations backgrounds and should be comfortable leading product teams and driving cross-functional execution.
Responsibilities:
- Own the horizontal product-solution strategy and roadmap for category and governance across major TikTok Shop categories.
- Partner with industry operations and category leaders to understand category-specific selection, qualification, listing, and compliance needs; distinguish common platform needs from legitimate category differences.
- Translate business and risk requirements into scalable platform capabilities, including category access, product qualification, catalog and listing rules, documentation, enforcement, and exception-management workflows.
- Establish a clear intake, prioritization, and decision mechanism for cross-category requests, balancing customer safety, business value, regulatory risk, and product scalability.
- Drive end-to-end product delivery and GTM adoption with Product, Engineering, Policy, Legal, Data Science, Operations, and commercial teams; monitor launch quality, adoption, and business impact.
- Build category-governance metrics and monitoring frameworks, identify systemic issues through data and case analysis, and continuously improve solution accuracy and efficiency.
- Develop and coach the team and serve as the primary horizontal connector between category operations and listing-governance stakeholders.
Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree or above and significant experience in product management, product solutions, strategy and operations, program management, or a related field.
- Experience in e-commerce, marketplaces, retail platforms, catalog/listing systems, merchant products, or category operations.
- Strong ability to synthesize diverse category needs into common product requirements and scalable platform solutions.
- Proven success leading complex cross-functional programs from strategy through product launch and operational adoption.
- Strong analytical, communication, stakeholder-management, and people-leadership skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience in listing governance, category compliance, product qualification, catalog systems, or marketplace risk management.
- Knowledge of one or more major retail categories and the ability to work effectively across multiple category teams.
- Experience building global platform capabilities that support differentiated local or category requirements.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Director Head Of
Translate your Australian credentials accurately
A three-year Australian bachelor's degree is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree for E-3 visa purposes. Get a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved evaluator before your first interview to avoid delays during the employer's HR review.
Target companies with existing E-3 or H-1B filings
Employers who have previously filed LCAs or H-1B petitions already have immigration counsel and internal processes. DOL's Foreign Labor Application Gateway (FLAG) lets you search certified LCA records by employer name to confirm sponsorship history before applying.
Frame your specialization as a degree-linked requirement
Director and Head of titles only qualify as E-3 specialty occupations if the role genuinely requires a specific degree field, not just any bachelor's. During offer negotiation, ask HR to confirm the job description explicitly states the required discipline so the LCA reflects that correctly.
Clarify who funds the LCA and visa fees upfront
The employer must pay the LCA filing fee with DOL. You can legally pay the DS-160 consular fee yourself. Confirm this split in writing during the offer stage so there are no misunderstandings once the E-3 filing process begins.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for leadership-level cases
Senior roles draw closer USCIS and consular scrutiny on specialty occupation justification. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages the LCA, visa paperwork, and consulate preparation end-to-end, reducing the risk of documentation gaps that stall approval for director-level applicants.
Negotiate a start date that covers LCA processing time
DOL typically certifies an LCA within seven business days, but errors or employer delays can stretch the timeline. Build at least three weeks of buffer between your signed offer and your proposed start date so certification clears before you book your consulate appointment.
E-3 Visa Director Head Of: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Director and Head of jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lists Director and Head of roles from employers who are open to E-3 visa sponsorship for Australian professionals. Searching there filters out roles where sponsorship is not on the table, saving you from pursuing positions that will stall at the offer stage. You can search by job title, industry, and location to narrow results to roles that fit your background.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000â$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Director or Head of role qualify as an E-3 specialty occupation?
It qualifies if the position genuinely requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field directly related to the job duties. A Head of Engineering role requiring a computer science or engineering degree clears that bar. A general director title where any degree is acceptable typically does not. The job description must reflect the degree requirement, and the employer confirms this when filing the LCA with DOL.
How does the E-3 compare to H-1B for Director and Head of roles?
The E-3 has no annual cap and no lottery, so Australian professionals in director-level roles can apply at any time of year without waiting for a selection round. The H-1B cap is 85,000 slots per fiscal year with a lottery that many qualified applicants lose. E-3 also renews indefinitely in two-year increments, whereas H-1B has a six-year initial limit that requires additional steps to extend.
Can I change employers while on an E-3 in a Director role?
Yes, but you need a new LCA certified for the new employer before you start work. The E-3 is employer-specific, so you cannot simply transfer it. Your new employer files a fresh LCA with DOL, and once certified, you either apply for a new E-3 at a U.S. consulate or, in some cases, change status from within the U.S. You cannot work for the new employer until the new authorization is in place.
