The Associate Director of Social Media is the creative and operational leader of Dartmouth’s flagship social media channels. Reporting to the Director of Social Strategy and Digital Engagement, the Associate Director owns the content calendar, publishing cadence, and editorial strategy across Dartmouth’s institutional accounts on Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Threads, X, and YouTube.
This is a hands-on creative leadership role. The Associate Director produces and directs day-to-day content, develops creative campaigns for major institutional moments, and makes the real-time editorial decisions that shape how Dartmouth shows up across social platforms. The Associate Director sets the tone for daily content, ensures Dartmouth’s flagship channels reflect the quality, voice, and ambition of the institution, and serves as the working lead for the Social Content and Community Specialist — setting daily priorities, directing content assignments, and providing editorial feedback.
The Associate Director must develop and maintain a deep understanding of Dartmouth’s brand, voice, audiences, and institutional context — operating with the brand fluency and organizational awareness to make confident editorial decisions without requiring regular input from the Director on day-to-day content. This level of independence is essential to the role and to the team’s operating model.
The Associate Director also serves as the primary liaison to MPG videographers and design/production staff for social content requests, and partners with the Data Analyst for Web and Social Media to make data-informed content decisions.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Social Media
Frame your degree for specialty occupation
Your Australian bachelor's degree in communications, marketing, or digital media needs to align directly with the social media role. A generic business degree supporting a niche content strategy position can raise specialty occupation questions, so tailor your credential narrative in your resume and offer letter.
Target employers with dedicated social teams
Mid-size and enterprise companies with in-house marketing departments are far more likely to file an E-3 visa than agencies billing by the hour. Search for roles with titles like Social Media Manager or Paid Social Strategist, which signal a structured team and defined scope.
Get your offer letter to specify degree requirements
The E-3 specialty occupation standard requires the role to normally require a bachelor's degree. Ask your employer to state in the offer letter that a degree in communications, marketing, or a related field is required, not merely preferred, before the LCA is filed with DOL.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for LCA and paperwork
Once you have a written offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork end-to-end. This covers DOL certification, DS-160 preparation, and consulate appointment readiness so your employer doesn't need to engage a separate immigration attorney.
Confirm your employer isn't agency-only staffed
Some companies outsource all social media to external agencies and don't have internal headcount to sponsor. Before investing time in an application process, ask the hiring manager whether the role is a direct full-time hire, which is required for E-3 sponsorship eligibility.
Check your I-94 before your visa interview
If you've worked in the U.S. previously on any status, verify your departure and admission records on the CBP I-94 portal before your consulate appointment. Discrepancies between your travel history and I-94 records can trigger USCIS or consular questions that delay your E-3 approval.
E-3 Visa Social Media: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find social media jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lists social media roles from employers open to E-3 sponsorship, filtering out positions where sponsorship is unavailable. Standard job boards don't separate E-3 from H-1B visa or no-sponsorship roles, so you end up applying to companies that won't file. Searching specifically on Migrate Mate saves you from that filter problem.
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 social media role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the job normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as communications, marketing, or digital media. A generic social media coordinator role described as open to any degree may not qualify. The more the job description ties duties to specific degree-level knowledge, the stronger the specialty occupation case.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for social media professionals?
The E-3 has no lottery and no annual cap, so an Australian social media professional with a qualifying job offer can apply at any point in the year. The H-1B requires lottery selection, is capped at 85,000 annually, and has a registration window each spring. For Australians, the E-3 is far more predictable and doesn't require waiting for a random selection outcome.
Can I change social media jobs while on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but each new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL and you'll need to obtain a new E-3 visa stamp before re-entering the U.S. if you travel internationally. Changing roles within the same company or to a new employer doesn't invalidate your current E-3 status while you remain in the country, but you can't legally start the new job until the new LCA is certified.
