LOCATIONS: In this role you can work from Remote, United States
Overview:
The New Media Director will own strategy and management of GitHub’s presence across emerging and established digital channels. This leader will build brand authority, audience affinity and drive impactful growth. This role sits at the intersection of social media, paid acquisition, and influencer ecosystems. The ideal candidate understands how to translate complex, fast-evolving AI products and market trends into compelling content, campaigns with proven ROI and conversations that matter to the developer community.
This senior leader will lead a team and cross-functional effort to design channel strategies in owned, earned and paid media create dialogue with developers and customers true to the GitHub tone and voice. The team owns both mature channels with pronounced audiences and robust calendars as well as growing channels and strategies to reach new audiences in new formats. This candidate must understand DevOps and AI and how to leverage new media tactics to cut through industry noise to drive impactful content and conversations.
As a developer company, the content we share with our audience is technical, so this role needs to have a knack for translating more technical content into social posts and campaigns that properly get our point across, as well as inversely communicate the impact of social media to a developer internal audience. This role works with or effects almost every team at GitHub, and connects many dots to tell a consistent story to our audiences.
The New Media team’s work is highly visible, so candidates should be comfortable working with executives and senior leadership, as well as having the desire to educate the company at-large on social media’s current and potential impact for the business. Excellent communication and collaboration skills, high levels of compassion for colleagues and the developer community, and an eagle-eye attention to detail are absolutely required—as is the ability to multitask, project manage like a pro and, of course, always make sure we’re never over the character limit.
Responsibilities:
- Social Media Strategy and Content - Own and evolve the cross-platform social media strategy (e.g., TikTok, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, emerging channels). Translate company positioning into engaging, accessible, and differentiated content.

Monitor trends in AI, tech, and internet culture to inform timely and relevant content
- Paid & Organic Campaign Strategy - Design and optimize campaigns integrating organic and paid media. Manage paid social budgets and partner to create targeting strategies, audience specific outreach and performance tracking. Build experimentation with data teams (A/B testing, creative iteration, audience segmentation) Partner with analytics to define KPIs (CAC, ROAS, engagement quality, conversion rates)
- Influencer & Creator Strategy - Develop and scale influencer partnerships across tiers (macro, micro, niche experts, AI thought leaders). Identify creators aligned with brand voice and target audiences, especially within tech and AI communities. Structure campaigns that balance authenticity with performance outcomes.
- Generate content cross-functionally – Partner with Communications, Developer Relations, Product Marketing, Content, Integrated and Growth Marketing teams to create developer first content.
- Navigate the AI landscape and content - Stay current on advancements in developer conversations and platforms leading GitHub to have a key voice in the community. Leverage AI tools for audience insights, measurement and execution strategies.
- Social listening & measurement – Utilize tooling to understand social conversations across multiple platforms in order to shape dialogue with developers and communities in a proactive way. Collaborate with product, comms, and leadership to ensure GitHub’s brand, values and products enter the conversation through brand handles and community voices aligned to the company strategy. Ensure content and channels drive meaningful results.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Media Director
Translate your Australian credentials clearly
A three-year Australian bachelor's degree in communications or media is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree for E-3 purposes. Get a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved evaluator before you start applying so employers aren't left guessing.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Media Director roles are concentrated in advertising networks, broadcast groups, and media agencies. Search DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data to identify which specific companies have filed LCAs for media and communications roles in the last two years.
Clarify the specialty occupation case in your application
Not every Media Director role automatically qualifies as a specialty occupation. If the job description says a degree is 'preferred' rather than 'required,' push back during negotiation and ask the employer to revise it, since USCIS scrutinizes this distinction closely.
Time your offer to align with LCA certification
The DOL must certify the LCA before your consulate appointment can be scheduled. Build at least three weeks into your start-date negotiation for LCA processing, so you're not arriving at the interview with uncertified documents.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the paperwork
Once you have an offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork end-to-end. This avoids the coordination gaps that happen when employers try to manage the filing internally without prior E-3 experience.
Prepare for nonimmigrant intent questions at the consulate
Media Directors sometimes face closer scrutiny at Australian consulates when they hold senior titles, because officers assess ties to Australia. Bring documentation of ongoing commitments at home, such as property ownership, family ties, or active Australian business relationships.
E-3 Visa Media Director: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Media Director jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for Media Director roles where employers are open to E-3 sponsorship, filtering out listings that only support H-1B or require citizenship. Because the E-3 involves no lottery and a straightforward LCA process, many media and advertising employers who won't touch H-1B will sponsor an E-3 without hesitation once they understand the difference.
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 $2,000–$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 Media Director role qualify as an E-3 specialty occupation?
A Media Director role qualifies when the position genuinely requires a bachelor's degree in communications, media studies, marketing, or a closely related field. The degree must be a prerequisite for the job, not simply a preference. Roles that frame the degree as optional or accept any bachelor's field create a weaker specialty occupation case and may draw USCIS scrutiny.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Media Director roles?
The E-3 has no lottery, no annual cap that limits approvals, and no registration fee. For a Media Director coming from Australia, this means you can apply whenever you have a job offer, not just once a year during H-1B registration season. The E-3 also renews indefinitely in two-year increments, so there's no six-year ceiling the way there is with H-1B.
Can I change employers or get promoted while on an E-3?
Changing employers requires a new LCA and a new visa stamp if you're outside the U.S., or a change of status if you're already in the country. A significant promotion, such as moving from Media Director to Chief Marketing Officer, may require a new LCA even with the same employer if the role's duties and prevailing wage level change materially.
