Working across Technology, Operations, Research, Legal, Product Risk, Finance, Comprehensive Advice, Marketing & Communications, Sales, and other Wealth Management teams, the VP will lead complex initiatives from opportunity identification and business case development through design, launch, commercialization, adoption, and ongoing optimization. The role requires a leader who can combine deep retirement expertise, product-management discipline, commercial judgment, and strong cross-functional influence to deliver measurable business outcomes.

- Drive commercialization and adoption. Partner with Marketing, Communications, Sales, Consulting, and Service teams to develop positioning, launch plans, advisor education, adoption strategies, and success measures for new and enhanced solutions.
- Serve as a retirement product authority. Act as a subject matter expert across Retirement Partners offerings, including BOR, 401(k), NQDC, 403(b), HSAs, pooled-plan solutions, retail retirement products, and related platform capabilities.
- Bring the advisor voice into product decisions. Engage advisors to understand needs, pain points, and emerging opportunities; translate feedback into prioritized roadmap decisions that support holistic wealth management.
- Create differentiated advisor experiences. Lead the design and enhancement of end-to-end workflows and journeys that make retirement solutions easier to understand, adopt, implement, and service.
- Lead through influence. Mobilize cross-functional teams across Technology, Operations, Legal, Risk, Finance, Research, Comprehensive Advice, and other product organizations to remove barriers and deliver enterprise-scale outcomes.
- Strengthen product governance and risk management. Partner with Product Risk, Legal, Compliance, and Operations to embed effective due diligence, operational readiness, controls, and ongoing monitoring throughout the product lifecycle.
- Stay ahead of the market. Monitor regulatory developments, competitor offerings, pricing, policy, platform innovation, and advisor trends; turn insights into actionable recommendations that strengthen LPL’s competitive position.
- Build product-management excellence. Help standardize product-management disciplines, decision frameworks, prioritization, measurement, and commercialization practices across Retirement Partners and partner organizations.
- Lead and develop talent. Provide direction, coaching, and accountability to the product team while building a high-performance culture focused on strategic thinking, execution excellence, collaboration, and measurable outcomes.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Vice President of Product Development
Align your credentials to EB-2 requirements
An EB-2 petition requires an advanced degree or a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience. Document each promotion, scope expansion, and cross-functional leadership role in writing before you start applying so your employer's attorney can build a clean petition record.
Search Migrate Mate for verified green card sponsors
Target employers with a documented history of sponsoring employment-based green cards for product leadership roles. Migrate Mate lists U.S. employers with verified EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship history, searchable by role and location, so you can prioritize outreach before spending time on applications.
Verify prevailing wage before negotiating your offer
Your employer's PERM filing locks in a prevailing wage using the OFLC Wage Search. If your offer falls below that level, the Department of Labor will reject the application. Check the wage tier for your target metro area and job title before you receive a formal offer.
Confirm the employer has completed PERM recruitment
PERM requires your employer to run a documented U.S. recruitment test before filing. Ask directly whether legal counsel is engaged and whether a prevailing wage determination has been requested. Delays in this groundwork, not USCIS adjudication, are where most timelines slip for VP-level roles.
Track your priority date if you're from India or China
Per-country annual limits create multi-year backlogs for Indian and Chinese nationals in the EB-2 and EB-3 categories. File your I-485 adjustment of status as early as your priority date allows, and check the monthly USCIS Visa Bulletin to understand when your date becomes current.
Understand AC21 portability before you change employers
If your I-485 has been pending 180 days or more, AC21 job portability lets you move to a new employer in a same or similar occupation without restarting the green card process. Confirm the occupational similarity with an immigration attorney before accepting a competing VP-level offer.
Green Card Vice President of Product Development: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Vice President of Product Development role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
Most VP of Product Development positions qualify under EB-2 because the role typically requires an advanced degree in engineering, computer science, business, or a related field, or a bachelor's degree plus at least five years of progressive product leadership experience. EB-3 is available when the employer can document that a bachelor's degree and two years of experience are the minimum requirements. Your employer's immigration attorney determines the category based on the actual job duties and your credentials.
How is green card sponsorship different from H-1B sponsorship for this role?
H-1B visa is a temporary nonimmigrant status capped at three years and subject to lottery selection. Green card sponsorship through PERM, I-140, and adjustment of status leads to lawful permanent residency with no renewal requirement. The PERM process requires your employer to conduct a formal U.S. recruitment test and obtain a prevailing wage determination from the Department of Labor before filing, steps that have no equivalent in the H-1B process. Processing timelines and per-country backlogs mean the green card path is longer but permanent.
What does the PERM labor certification process involve for a VP-level role?
Your employer files the PERM application with the Department of Labor after completing a prevailing wage determination and a mandatory U.S. recruitment test, which typically includes job postings, newspaper ads, and internal job orders. The recruitment must show no qualified U.S. worker was available for the position. Because VP of Product Development is a senior role with specific duties, the job description must reflect actual daily responsibilities and cannot be written to match your resume. USCIS reviews the I-140 petition after DOL certifies the PERM.
How do I find employers who sponsor green cards for Vice President of Product Development positions?
Start with employers who have an established immigration program and in-house or retained outside immigration counsel, since PERM filings require significant legal and HR coordination. Migrate Mate lists employers with verified employment-based green card sponsorship history, so you can focus outreach on companies already familiar with the EB-2 and EB-3 process for senior product roles rather than educating hiring managers from scratch.
Can I change employers after my green card process has started?
Once your I-485 adjustment of status application has been pending for 180 days or more, AC21 job portability allows you to move to a new employer in the same or a similar occupation without restarting the green card process. Your priority date from the original approved I-140 can also transfer to a new employer's petition. If your I-485 has been pending less than 180 days, changing employers generally restarts the PERM and I-140 process, so timing matters significantly for VP-level candidates mid-process.
