Commercial Lead Green Card Jobs
Commercial Lead roles at U.S. companies can qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship through the PERM labor certification process, which permanently ties your authorization to the employer rather than a temporary visa cycle. Sponsorship typically requires demonstrating that your commercial strategy or business development background meets specialty occupation standards under DOL wage and degree requirements.

Toast creates technology to help restaurants and local businesses succeed in a digital world, helping business owners operate, increase sales, engage customers, and keep employees happy.
Toast is transforming how people experience dining—from the moment they walk in, to how they order, pay, and engage with hospitality brands. Our Commerce group sits at the center of this evolution, building technology that seamlessly connects service, payments, and operations to create entirely new ways for guests to dine and pay.
We’re looking for a Commercial Lead to help shape and bring to life the next generation of in-store payment and hospitality experiences. In this role, you’ll work directly with a range of innovative restaurant concepts, from immersive entertainment venues to emerging hospitality brands and established operators, to rethink how dining flows—from ordering to checkout and everything in between. You’ll play a key role in defining how technology can unlock faster, more intuitive, and more engaging guest experiences.
This is a highly hands-on, exploratory role where you’ll operate across the full customer journey—testing new ideas in real environments, partnering closely with operators, and helping translate those learnings into scalable solutions.
A day in the life (Responsibilities)
- Own the end-to-end experience with pilot customers—introducing new ways to order, pay, and interact in-venue, and ensuring successful rollout and adoption
- Partner with a diverse set of hospitality operators—including eatertainment venues and forward-thinking restaurant groups—to design and refine new service and payment flows
- Gather real-time insights from customers and guests, turning feedback into actionable recommendations that shape product direction and commercial strategy
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and go-to-market teams to bring new concepts to life and ensure they can scale effectively
- Build business cases and financial models to evaluate new opportunities, pricing approaches, and customer segments
- Help define repeatable playbooks that enable broader rollout of new in-store experiences across the Toast ecosystem
What you’ll need to thrive (Requirements)
- Experience in sales, customer success, onboarding, professional services, or growth—ideally in hospitality, payments, or SaaS
- A builder mindset with a strong bias for action; you’re comfortable navigating ambiguity and testing ideas in live environments
- Passion for reshaping in-person experiences, particularly how guests interact with restaurants and complete transactions
- Proven ability to work closely with product teams to iterate quickly and find product-market fit
- Deep curiosity about hospitality trends and emerging restaurant formats
- Strong operational instincts, with experience creating processes that can scale
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build trust across internal teams and external partners
- Experience working with experiential dining, venue-based entertainment, or innovative restaurant concepts
- Familiarity with POS systems, payments technology, or hospitality operations
- Background in early-stage initiatives or building new programs from the ground up
In this role, you’ll help redefine what it feels like to dine out—creating seamless, engaging, and entirely new ways for guests to experience hospitality and complete their transactions.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Commercial Lead
Align your credentials to SOC codes
PERM filings classify Commercial Lead roles under specific Standard Occupational Classification codes that determine prevailing wage levels. Confirm which SOC code your offer letter references and verify your degree field matches it before the employer submits the labor certification.
Search open PERM filings by role
Use Migrate Mate to filter employers who have actively filed PERM labor certifications for commercial, business development, or sales leadership roles, so you're targeting companies with a documented green card sponsorship track record rather than guessing at willingness.
Request EB-2 framing during offer negotiation
If your Commercial Lead role involves strategy, P&L ownership, or cross-functional leadership, negotiate job duties that support an advanced-degree EB-2 classification rather than defaulting to EB-3. The distinction affects both your priority date and long-term wait time, especially for high-backlog countries.
Verify prevailing wage before accepting an offer
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the prevailing wage for your specific SOC code and work location. If the offered salary falls below DOL's wage level, your employer's PERM application will be denied regardless of how strong your qualifications are.
Prepare a commercial impact portfolio for RFE defense
USCIS occasionally issues Requests for Evidence questioning whether a Commercial Lead role truly requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Document revenue impact, contract values managed, and cross-border deal complexity now, so your employer's attorney has concrete evidence ready.
Time your job search around employer fiscal cycles
Many companies initiate PERM filings in Q1 after budget approvals, meaning Commercial Lead openings tied to green card sponsorship cluster between January and March. Targeting applications in that window increases the likelihood an employer has already allocated legal budget for the filing process.

Find Commercial Lead JobsCommercial Lead Green Card Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Commercial Lead role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
It depends on how the employer defines the role. If the position requires a specific bachelor's degree field plus progressive commercial experience, it can qualify for EB-2 as an advanced-degree professional. Roles framed around general sales management or account leadership more commonly file under EB-3 as skilled workers. The employer's attorney determines classification based on actual job duties and degree requirements at the time of PERM filing.
How does PERM green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for a Commercial Lead?
PERM sponsorship leads to permanent residency rather than a renewable temporary status, so there's no lottery risk and no three-year renewal cycle. The trade-off is time: PERM labor certification alone takes six to twelve months before USCIS even reviews your I-140 petition. For EB-3 filers from most countries outside India and China, visa numbers are currently current, meaning the path to a green card can be faster than cycling through multiple H-1B extensions.
What documentation strengthens a PERM filing for a Commercial Lead position?
Your employer's attorney will need a detailed job description tying the Commercial Lead duties to a specific degree requirement, not just a preference. On your side, organize transcripts, performance reviews showing revenue or market impact, and any contracts or deal documentation that quantifies your commercial scope. USCIS scrutinizes whether the degree requirement is genuinely tied to the role's complexity rather than added to justify sponsorship.
How do I find employers actively sponsoring green cards for Commercial Lead roles?
Migrate Mate lets you search employers by PERM filing history and role type, so you can identify companies that have sponsored commercial and business development professionals before. This matters because an employer willing to sponsor in theory is very different from one that has completed the PERM and I-140 process for a similar title and understands the six-to-eighteen-month commitment involved.
Can I switch employers after my I-140 is approved but before I have a green card?
Yes, under AC21 portability rules, you can move to a new employer in the same or similar occupational classification once your I-140 has been approved and your adjustment of status application has been pending for at least 180 days. For Commercial Lead roles, the new position needs to match the SOC code and duties on your original petition. Your attorney should issue a portability memo to document the occupational match for USCIS review.
