About the Role:
The Business Segment Strategy & Process Manager serves as a consultant to business segment stakeholders and Business Capabilities Managers (BCMs). In this role, you will own the strategy, definition, documentation, and build of business processes and requirements for specific process areas serving High Touch and Focus accounts.
You will develop deep domain expertise in Go-To-Market (GTM) policies, procedures, and standards, along with a strong understanding of role-based persona user journeys. You will drive process transformations that prioritize business segment and persona requirements back to the BCM teams across all REI and GSPO platforms (e.g., OCC, GONG, Contactability, CCW).
Key responsibilities include:
- Collaborating with segment and persona stakeholders to develop, evolve, and maintain Business Segment strategy, process and persona strategy, and requirements.
- Partnering with the CRM Business Capabilities (BCM) organization, which builds the platform plans that are then handed off to CETO for delivery.
- Acting as the primary point of contact for segment senior leadership on the status of the Business Segment Roadmap and its aligned initiatives.
This role focuses on the Onboarding and Adoption ecosystem of processes and personas that enable the segment's GTM motions.
Why this role matters:
Cisco is undergoing a series of major transformations — OneCiscoCRM, Gong, and Unified Customer Definition (UCD) — all aimed at driving recurring revenue and durable growth. Success depends on deeply understanding and addressing the distinct business strategies and go-to-market motions of each Business Segment (High Touch, Focus, Velocity-Mid, and Digital-Small Accounts), and on delivering the capabilities that enable the field to sell bigger, faster, and smarter.
What will you do:
- Stakeholder Engagement: Directly engage with business and field segment and persona users and stakeholders to gain an intimate understanding of their daily experiences, tools, processes, and difficulties.
- Process Analysis & Documentation: Document and analyze current state process flows, policies, decision-making frameworks, hand-off dependencies, and user journeys.
- Process Strategy: Develop strategy for evolution of process by persona, segment and system based on findings, gaps analysis and stakeholder feedback.
- Governance & Accountability: Define and detail clear roles and responsibilities across the Segment GTM to increase organizational clarity and process purity. Drive consensus on improvement changes where necessary.
- Process Transformation: Build future-state process transformations that align with business priorities, including the creation of future-state policy definitions and user journey maps.
- Business Capability Team Collaboration: Collaborate with Business Capabilities Managers to provide accurate representations of personas in process flows. Translate these insights into high-level business requirements that inform the Business Capability Managers & Roadmap, which is then used by Technical Product Managers to develop technical solutions.
- Business Activation: Co-Design and Facilitate Programs in the Segment with Business Activation and Adoption as well as any other required Extended SSPO Team.
Who You Are
Minimum Requirements
- Bachelors Degree
- 10+ years related experience
- Stakeholder Engagement: You influence and align stakeholders across functions and levels — including senior leadership — building the buy-in needed to move initiatives forward.
- AI Proficiency: You harness AI effectively as both a thought partner and a productivity multiplier — whether that's synthesizing stakeholder inputs into clear process requirements, pressure-testing persona journeys and GTM process designs, accelerating documentation of business processes and roadmaps, or drafting first-pass narratives and presentations for senior leadership. You're always looking for creative new ways to infuse it into how you and the team work.
- Business Strategy-to-Requirement Translation: You take ambiguous business problems and convert them into structured, actionable persona and process requirements that teams can build against.
- Execution Focus: You have a track record of delivering programs that produce measurable business outcomes, not just activity.
- Functional Subject Matter Expertise: You bring a deep understanding of Cisco's Sales, Customer Success, Renewals and Partner ecosystem — its personas, processes, and the connections between them — and you use that fluency to ground your decisions and recommendations.
- Sales Process Expertise: You understand how sales workflows run, and you have a sharp eye for where automation can remove friction and drive meaningful impact.
Preferred Requirements
- Management Consulting background and skillset not required, but preferred
- End-to-End Ownership: You own complex, cross-functional initiatives from strategy through execution, staying accountable for outcomes at every stage rather than handing off and hoping.
- Communication & Influence: You collaborate naturally with diverse stakeholders, drive decision-making, and bridge the gap between business needs and technical delivery. You bring strong executive engagement and storytelling ability that makes complex ideas land.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Process Engineer
Align your credentials with U.S. specialty occupation standards
Australian three-year engineering degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year bachelor's for E-3 visa purposes, but get your transcripts evaluated by a NACES-approved service before applying to make comparisons straightforward for hiring managers.
Target employers with active DOL filing history
Search the DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data for employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for Process Engineer or similar titles. Prior LCA activity signals an employer already understands the sponsorship mechanism.
Secure your LCA before the visa interview date
Your employer must file and receive a certified LCA from DOL before you can attend your consulate appointment. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork so certification isn't the bottleneck holding up your start date.
Negotiate a start date that accounts for consulate wait times
E-3 consulate appointments in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth can run two to six weeks out depending on demand. Build that window into your offer negotiation so your employer isn't counting on a start date that the consulate schedule can't support.
Clarify your role's specialty occupation status before your interview
Generic process technician roles sometimes lack the degree requirement that defines specialty occupation under E-3 rules. Confirm the job description explicitly requires a bachelor's degree in chemical, mechanical, or industrial engineering before your sponsorship conversation begins.
E-3 Visa Process Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find Process Engineer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for U.S. roles that include E-3 sponsorship. It surfaces Process Engineer positions at employers already familiar with the E-3 visa, so you're not spending time educating companies about a visa category they've never encountered. Standard job boards don't filter by visa type or sponsorship willingness.
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 Process Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, in most cases. The E-3 requires the role to normally require a theoretical and practical application of highly specialized knowledge, with at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Process engineering roles in chemicals, oil and gas, food manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals consistently meet this standard because they require a degree in chemical, mechanical, or industrial engineering. Roles titled 'process technician' that don't require a degree are a different matter and won't qualify.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Australian Process Engineers?
The H-1B is subject to an annual cap and a lottery that randomly selects roughly one in four registrants, meaning qualified candidates can wait years before securing status. The E-3 has a 10,500 annual allocation that has never been fully used, no lottery, and no USCIS petition required for consular processing. For an Australian Process Engineer with a job offer, the E-3 path is faster, cheaper for the employer, and far more predictable.
Can I transfer my E-3 to a new Process Engineer employer in the U.S.?
You can change E-3 employers, but the process starts fresh with the new company. Your new employer files a new LCA with DOL, and you'll need a new E-3 visa stamp if you're traveling internationally, or a change of status petition if you're already in the U.S. The E-3 is employer-specific, so you can't begin work for the new employer until the new LCA is certified and the visa or status is updated.
