That is where Centivo comes in -- our mission is to bring affordable, high-quality healthcare to the millions who struggle to pay their healthcare bills. Centivo is seeking a visionary and execution-oriented Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) to own and drive the full commercial engine of the company. As a key member of the senior leadership team the CCO will be accountable for the entire revenue lifecycle: new business acquisition across all market segments, existing client retention and growth, client implementation, and revenue operations, inclusive of all channels. This is a rare opportunity for a commercial leader who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution — someone who can craft a bold go-to-market vision, build and develop high-performing teams, and relentlessly drive the operational discipline required to scale a mission-driven self-funded health plan. The CCO will be instrumental in positioning Centivo for the next phase of growth.

- Clarify — Sets clear expectations for what “good” looks like across all commercial functions. Addresses performance gaps directly and ensures understanding before moving on.
- Coach — Provides meaningful recognition and development-oriented feedback. Helps team members build the capabilities they need to grow and succeed — both in their current role and their next one.
- Connect — Helps the team see their collective purpose and how their work connects to Centivo’s mission. Builds bridges within and beyond the commercial org to create a sense of shared momentum.
- Customize — Adapts leadership approach to the individual — understanding what motivates each person and adjusting how they communicate, delegate, coach, and connect based on what each team member needs to thrive.
Centivo Values:
- Resilient — This is wicked hard. There is no easy button for healthcare affordability. Luckily, the mission makes it worth it and sustains us when things are tough. Being resilient ensures we don’t give up. We embrace challenges, follow through on commitments, and never avoid things just because they are hard.
- Uncommon — The status quo stinks so we had to go out and build something better. We are easy to work with, we simplify the complex, and we recognize what needs to be done and do it. We focus on efficiency over bureaucracy and we don’t dodge the hard conversations.
- Positive — We care about each other. We say ‘how could we?’ instead of ‘we can’t.’ We encourage each other and anticipate others’ needs. We always give credit to others and look for solutions rather than linger on problems.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Chief Commercial Officer
Translate your credentials for PERM documentation
PERM requires your employer to define the minimum qualifications for the CCO role before advertising. Make sure your advanced degree and commercial leadership experience are documented precisely, because DOL auditors scrutinize whether stated requirements match actual job duties.
Target companies with active EB-2 filing histories
Search Migrate Mate to identify U.S. employers who have sponsored senior commercial executives at the EB-2 or EB-3 level. Companies with prior green card filings for executive roles have established legal workflows and are far less likely to balk at the PERM timeline.
Verify the prevailing wage before salary negotiations begin
Before any offer letter is signed, use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the prevailing wage for your specific SOC code and geographic location. CCO compensation packages must meet or exceed DOL-certified wage levels or the I-140 petition will fail.
Distinguish EB-2 NIW eligibility from employer-sponsored PERM
If your commercial leadership work has national economic impact, a National Interest Waiver lets you self-petition under EB-2 without a PERM labor certification or a specific employer sponsor. This path bypasses the recruitment obligation entirely and is worth evaluating alongside standard sponsorship.
Negotiate green card language into your employment contract
Ask for explicit green card sponsorship commitments, including employer-paid legal fees and a defined PERM filing timeline, before you accept any offer. CCO roles involve long vesting and equity cycles, so your sponsorship agreement should be written into the contract rather than left as a verbal understanding.
Understand priority date backlogs for your country of birth
USCIS assigns priority dates based on country of birth, not citizenship. Nationals born in India or China face multi-year backlogs even after I-140 approval, which affects when you can adjust status. Check the State Department Visa Bulletin before committing to a company's sponsorship timeline.

Find Chief Commercial Officer JobsChief Commercial Officer Green Card Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Chief Commercial Officer role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most CCO positions qualify for EB-2 sponsorship because the role typically requires a master's degree or equivalent in business, marketing, or a related field combined with substantial executive experience. If the employer's minimum requirement is a bachelor's degree with progressive experience, EB-3 professional classification applies instead. The sponsoring employer's attorney structures the PERM job description to align with whichever category best fits your background.
How does PERM green card sponsorship differ from an H-1B for a CCO role?
An H-1B is a temporary nonimmigrant status capped at six years initially, subject to annual lottery selection, and tied to a single employer. PERM-based green card sponsorship leads to permanent residency with no cap concerns at the EB-3 level for most countries. The PERM process takes longer upfront, typically one to two years from labor certification through I-140 approval, but the outcome is lawful permanent residency rather than a renewable temporary status.
What does the PERM labor certification process look like for a CCO position?
Your employer files a PERM application with DOL documenting that they conducted a good-faith recruitment effort and found no qualified U.S. workers for the specific CCO role. This includes placing job advertisements, reviewing applicants, and logging rejections. DOL then certifies the application, which your employer uses as the foundation for the I-140 immigrant visa petition filed with USCIS. The entire labor certification stage typically takes six to twelve months.
How can I find Chief Commercial Officer jobs that include green card sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for CCO and senior commercial leadership roles where employers have a documented history of employment-based green card filings. Filtering by EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship history narrows your search to companies whose legal and HR teams already understand the PERM process, which significantly reduces the friction of negotiating sponsorship from scratch during your offer stage.
Can I switch employers after my I-140 is approved but before I receive my green card?
Yes, under AC21 portability provisions, you can change employers once your I-140 has been approved and your adjustment of status application has been pending for at least 180 days, provided the new role is in the same or a similar occupational classification. For CCO candidates, this means moving to another senior commercial or business development leadership position generally preserves your priority date and pending green card case.
