About HP
At HP, we are redefining the Future of Work through technology—helping organizations unlock growth while creating more fulfilling work experiences for people everywhere. Delivering on that vision requires more than innovative products. It requires modern operating models, exceptional leadership, and organizations that can adapt, collaborate, and execute at scale.
As part of HP's Global Marketing organization, we're seeking an experienced strategic business operations leader to strengthen how our global media organization operates, collaborates, and delivers measurable business impact.
The Opportunity
The Head of Media Strategy & Business Operations is a key leadership role responsible for driving strategic alignment, business operations, organizational effectiveness, and partnership performance across HP's global media organization.
Reporting into Global Media Operations and working directly with the Vice President of Global Media, this US-based role serves as a strategic business partner to senior leadership, translating executive priorities into coordinated action and measurable outcomes.
The position leads the executive rhythm of business, global agency partnership governance, strategic planning integration, and cross-functional accountability. It plays a central role in maximizing the business value of HP's strategic media partnerships by strengthening governance, commercial transparency, service-level accountability, and adoption of new marketing capabilities.
This is not a campaign execution or traditional project management role. It is a strategic leadership position requiring executive judgment, commercial acumen, organizational leadership, and exceptional operational discipline.
The ideal candidate combines the ability to think strategically with the drive to move complex initiatives forward, resolve issues, and ensure commitments translate into results.
Strategic Business Operations & Executive Leadership

- Anticipate organizational challenges, surface emerging risks, and proactively drive resolution across complex global teams.
Lead and develop a small team supporting business operations, program governance, and organizational effectiveness.
Strategic Agency Partnership Governance & Value Realization
- Lead enterprise-level governance and operational management of HP's strategic media agency partnerships, serving as a central coordination and accountability lead across global and regional stakeholders.
- Establish and lead agency governance cadences, executive business reviews, performance scorecards, action tracking, and escalation processes.
- Drive accountability for agency commitments, service-level agreements (SLAs), contractual deliverables, operational performance, and continuous improvement.
- Partner with Finance, Procurement, Legal, and agency leadership to strengthen commercial transparency, billing governance, issue resolution, and adherence to contractual commitments.
- Proactively identify risks, remove barriers, and drive timely resolution of cross-functional issues through clear ownership, prioritization, and follow-through.
- Establish frameworks to measure and maximize partnership value, including operational efficiencies, capability adoption, service improvements, and broader business outcomes.
Collaborate with regional media leaders and their agency counterparts to ensure consistent governance while preserving regional accountability for market delivery.
Global Business Planning & Strategic Integration
- Establish and lead strategic planning and engagement frameworks with global business-unit marketing leaders, connecting enterprise business priorities with global and regional media planning.
- Drive planning discipline, cross-functional alignment, prioritization, and accountability across business-unit initiatives and global media capabilities.
- Partner with media strategy, regional media leadership, and Global Media Operations to translate business objectives into coordinated planning priorities and actionable initiatives.
- Facilitate strategic planning discussions, identify dependencies, and resolve organizational barriers to execution.
- Strengthen the connection between business-unit priorities, audience-led marketing capabilities, agency planning, and measurable business outcomes.
Develop executive-level planning narratives and recommendations that support strategic decision-making.
Operating Model, Governance & Organizational Effectiveness
- Design, implement, and continuously improve operating models, governance frameworks, and business processes that enable effective global media operations.
- Establish clear roles, decision rights, accountability structures, escalation paths, and operating standards across internal teams and strategic partners.

- Lead cross-functional program governance supporting strategic business initiatives and ongoing marketing modernization.
- Partner with internal stakeholders and external partners to enable adoption of new media, audience, data, technology, and measurement capabilities.
- Establish change management frameworks, stakeholder engagement plans, and adoption measures to support new ways of working.
- Track strategic milestones, dependencies, organizational readiness, and business outcomes.
Ensure new capabilities are operationally integrated into planning, execution, governance, and measurement processes rather than remaining isolated initiatives.
Cross-Functional Leadership
- Build trusted relationships with senior leaders across Global Marketing, Finance, Procurement, Data & Analytics, Technology, Legal, Privacy, Sales, and strategic agency partners.
- Influence decisions and drive accountability across teams without relying solely on formal reporting authority.
- Represent Global Media in cross-functional leadership discussions and strategic planning forums.
Foster a culture of transparency, ownership, continuous improvement, and results-oriented collaboration.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Management, Organizational Leadership, or a related field.
- 10+ years of progressive experience in Business Operations, Strategy & Operations, Marketing Operations, Media Operations, Enterprise Program Leadership, Management Consulting, Organizational Effectiveness, or related disciplines.

- Media agency operating models, service-level agreements, performance governance, and commercial value realization.
- Enterprise transformation, organizational design, and change management.
- Audience-based marketing, marketing technology, data-driven media, and measurement ecosystems.
- Strategic portfolio management, enterprise PMO leadership, and process optimization.
- An MBA or other relevant advanced degree is preferred.
Experience supporting organizations with significant global marketing investments, distributed teams, and complex external partner ecosystems is highly desirable.
Ideal Candidate Profile
You are a strategic operator who thrives at the intersection of executive leadership, business strategy, and operational execution.
You bring structure to complexity, establish clarity where accountability is fragmented, and have the judgment and persistence to drive important initiatives to completion.
You are equally comfortable partnering with senior executives, leading challenging agency governance discussions, aligning global stakeholders, and developing the operating frameworks that help organizations perform at their best.
You understand that effective governance is more than reporting progress. It means establishing ownership, making decisions, removing barriers, and ensuring commitments deliver measurable business value.
You combine strong business and commercial judgment with a collaborative leadership style, the ability to influence without direct authority, and a relentless focus on outcomes.
Why Join HP
This role offers a unique opportunity to help shape how one of the world's largest global technology companies approaches media strategy, business operations, and strategic partnerships.
You'll work closely with senior marketing leadership, influence global business priorities, and play a central role in ensuring HP realizes the full value of its investments in media, data, technology, and strategic partnerships.
If you're passionate about strategic leadership, organizational excellence, and turning complex business priorities into measurable results, we'd love to hear from you.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Head of Media
Align your credentials to EB-2 or EB-3
Pull your official transcripts and employment records before applying. EB-2 requires an advanced degree or a bachelor's plus five years of progressive media experience. EB-3 covers a bachelor's degree alone. Knowing your category shapes how you frame your resume and what documentation your employer needs at the PERM stage.
Search employers with active PERM history
Target media companies and publishing groups that have filed PERM applications for creative or editorial leadership roles before. Migrate Mate surfaces employers with verified green card sponsorship history by role, so you can focus your outreach on organizations already familiar with the PERM process for Head of Media positions.
Verify your role meets specialty occupation standards
Head of Media roles must require a specific degree field to pass PERM scrutiny. Cross-reference your job description against the O*NET occupation profile for media directors to confirm the educational requirement is explicit, not preferred. A job posting that says 'degree preferred' rather than 'required' can derail the PERM recruitment test.
Request a prevailing wage determination early
Your employer files a prevailing wage request with OFLC before the PERM recruitment phase begins. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the prevailing wage for your SOC code and metropolitan area in advance. If your offered salary is below the determination, your employer must adjust it before PERM certification can proceed.
Understand how priority dates affect your timeline
Once your employer's I-140 is approved, your priority date is set. Nationals of India and China often face multi-year backlogs before a visa number becomes available. Check the USCIS Visa Bulletin monthly to track your priority date movement and plan your career decisions, including any employer changes, around adjustment-of-status timing.
Use AC21 portability if you change employers
If your I-485 has been pending for 180 days or more, you can change to a new Head of Media role at a different employer under AC21 job portability, provided the occupation is the same or substantially similar. Confirm the similarity with your attorney before resigning, and ensure your new employer files a new I-140 to preserve your priority date.
Green Card Head of Media: Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Head of Media roles eligible for EB-2 green card sponsorship?
EB-2 eligibility turns on whether the position requires an advanced degree, defined as a master's or higher, or a bachelor's degree plus at least five years of progressive experience in media leadership. Head of Media roles typically demand strategic oversight of content, brand, and editorial teams, which courts and USCIS consistently associate with advanced-degree requirements. Your employer documents that requirement as part of PERM labor certification.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B sponsorship for a Head of Media role?
H-1B visa grants temporary nonimmigrant status, subject to cap selection and renewal cycles. Green card sponsorship through EB-2 or EB-3 leads to permanent residence. The PERM process requires your employer to run a formal DOL-supervised recruitment test proving no qualified U.S. workers are available, then file an I-140 immigrant petition. There is no lottery, but per-country numerical limits mean nationals of high-demand countries may face priority-date backlogs before they can file an I-485.
How do I find employers willing to sponsor a Head of Media position through PERM?
Start by identifying media companies, broadcasters, publishing groups, and digital content studios that have sponsored creative and editorial leadership roles before. Migrate Mate lists employers with verified green card sponsorship history filtered by role type, so you can prioritize outreach to organizations already experienced with the PERM process rather than educating a potential employer from scratch.
What happens to my green card case if I change employers mid-process?
If your I-485 has been pending for fewer than 180 days, changing employers restarts the sponsorship process unless your new employer assumes the petition. After 180 days of I-485 pendency, AC21 job portability lets you move to a same or similar occupation without losing your place in line. Your original priority date can transfer to a new employer's I-140 once the first I-140 was approved, but confirm both conditions with an immigration attorney before making any move.
Does the PERM process look at my specific media specialization, such as digital versus broadcast?
PERM labor certification is tied to the specific job description your employer files, not a broad media category. The DOL reviews whether the recruitment test genuinely tests for candidates qualified in the described role. If your position requires digital content strategy rather than broadcast production, the job duties, the SOC code selected, and the prevailing wage must all reflect that specialization. Mismatches between the posted duties and the PERM filing are a common audit trigger.
