Reports to: Social Media Manager
Location: Remote (US + Canada)
About the Role
Sur La Table is building The Kitchen Table, a brand ambassador program powered by Duel, and needs someone to operate and grow it from the ground up. As Customer Advocacy Program Specialist, you will be the hands-on, day-to-day operator of the platform — walking advocates through onboarding, building and managing challenges, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring every creator feels supported from first login to first payout.
In your first 6–12 months, success means advocates are activating smoothly, challenge completion rates are climbing, and you have established repeatable processes for onboarding, campaign execution, and reporting that the Social Media Manager can build on.
This is a lean team. You will own a lot, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility.
Program Operations
- Serve as the primary point of contact for advocates getting started on Duel (and additional platforms as the program expands), walking them step-by-step through account creation and store setup.
- Build, update, QA, and maintain advocate challenges in the platform, ensuring instructions are clear and aligned with program goals.
- Monitor advocate progression through tiers and identify where members are getting stuck.
- Keep the program calendar organized across promos, seasonal moments, campaigns, and food holidays.
- Maintain organized records of challenge status, launch dates, submissions, performance, and follow-ups.
- Learn the Duel platform deeply and become the day-to-day operator of the software.
Challenge Strategy & Campaign Execution
- Partner with the Social Media Manager to translate marketing priorities into engaging advocate challenges.
- Support campaign planning and execution for product launches, seasonal moments, promotions, contests, and brand initiatives.
- Write and refresh challenge copy, prompts, and instructions that are clear, motivating, and social-first.
- Prioritize challenges that drive affiliate link usage and revenue-driving behavior.
- Monitor which challenge types drive the strongest engagement, content quality, link usage, and tier progression.
Social Media & Content Support
- Create clear examples, prompts, and best practices that guide advocates toward stronger, platform-native content.
- Review advocate submissions through both an operational and social lens — checking compliance, link inclusion, and potential reuse across organic social, paid, email, site, or other brand channels.
- Surface standout UGC to cross-functional teams for potential reuse across marketing channels.
- Stay aware of social trends and content formats that could inspire stronger advocate participation.
Community Engagement & Advocate Activation
- Support advocate activation by moving members from sign-up to first challenge, first post, first affiliate link, and first revenue-driving action.
- Monitor community health including engagement, retention, challenge completion, and tier movement.
- Gather recurring advocate feedback and share opportunities to improve the program experience.
- Build momentum through timely challenges, recognition opportunities, and clear next steps for advocates.
Reporting, Optimization & Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Support weekly and monthly reporting for the Social Media Manager, identifying trends, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities.
- Use data and advocate behavior to recommend updates to challenges, communications, and program flow.
- Work closely with Social, Brand Marketing, CRM, Ecommerce, and the Duel team to support program execution and share advocate insights.
Required Qualifications
- 2+ years of experience in social media marketing, influencer marketing, creator programs, community management, advocacy marketing, affiliate marketing, or a related role.
- Understanding of major social platforms including Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook.
- Basic project management skills with the ability to manage calendars, timelines, campaigns, and multiple workstreams simultaneously.
- Experience writing or supporting social-first content prompts, briefs, captions, community prompts, creator challenges, or UGC requests.
- Highly organized and systems-oriented, able to manage a high volume of individual advocate relationships at once.
- Comfortable with support/ticketing tools and CRM-style tracking.
- Willingness to adopt AI-powered workflows as the team's tools evolve.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Developer Advocacy
Verify your SOC code before applying
Developer Advocacy sits at the intersection of engineering and communications, so employers assign different SOC codes. Check your offer letter's SOC classification against the O*NET profile to confirm the degree requirement aligns with your background and supports a specialty occupation determination.
Search LCA filings for advocacy-adjacent titles
Employers file LCAs under titles like 'Developer Relations Engineer' or 'Technical Evangelist,' not always 'Developer Advocate.' Use the OFLC Wage Search to find companies actively certifying these roles, then cross-reference with Migrate Mate to surface open positions at verified H-1B sponsors.
Target companies with cap-exempt filing options
Developer Advocacy roles at universities, nonprofits, or research institutions attached to higher education qualify for cap-exempt H-1B petitions. These bypass the annual lottery entirely, making them a practical option if you didn't get selected in the regular cap season.
Document your technical background for the petition
USCIS scrutinizes Developer Advocacy petitions because the role blends public-facing work with engineering. Gather transcripts, prior code samples, technical publications, or conference talk records that demonstrate your degree directly relates to the technical depth the job requires.
Negotiate filing timing around the cap-gap window
If you're on OPT when you receive an offer, your F-1 cap-gap protection extends work authorization through September 30 of the fiscal year. Confirm your employer plans to file in April so your authorization stays continuous without a gap between OPT expiration and H-1B start.
Clarify who pays which H-1B fees upfront
H-1B regulations prohibit employers from passing certain required fees to you. Confirm before signing that your employer covers the I-129 filing fee and any ACWIA training fee. Premium processing, which cuts USCIS adjudication to 15 business days, is negotiable and worth requesting in writing.
H-1B Visa Developer Advocacy: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Developer Advocacy qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the role requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field such as computer science, software engineering, or a related technical discipline. Employers must demonstrate the position normally requires this specific degree, not just any bachelor's. Roles that blend technical architecture with developer education generally qualify, but USCIS may issue an RFE if the job description emphasizes marketing over engineering.
Which SOC code do employers use for Developer Advocacy H-1B filings?
Most employers file under SOC 15-1252 (Software Developers) or 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other), though some use 27-3042 (Technical Writers) depending on how the role is scoped. The SOC code directly determines your prevailing wage level under DOL rules. Ask your employer which code they plan to use before the LCA is filed, since it affects both your wage floor and how USCIS evaluates specialty occupation status.
How do I find employers who sponsor H-1B visas for Developer Advocacy roles?
Search Migrate Mate to browse Developer Advocacy positions at companies with verified H-1B filing history. Because the role title varies widely across employers, filtering by related titles like 'Developer Relations' or 'Technical Evangelist' expands your results. DOL LCA disclosure data underpins the listings, so you can see which employers have actively sponsored similar roles rather than guessing based on company size or reputation.
Can my Developer Advocacy employer use premium processing for my H-1B petition?
Yes. Employers can file Form I-907 alongside or after the I-129 petition to request premium processing, which requires USCIS to act within 15 business days. This is especially useful for Developer Advocacy hires starting on a specific product launch or conference cycle. Premium processing doesn't improve approval odds but eliminates the uncertainty of standard adjudication timelines, which currently run several months.
What happens to my H-1B status if my Developer Advocacy role shifts toward more sales or marketing work?
A material change in job duties can trigger a requirement to file an amended H-1B petition before the change takes effect. If your role moves away from technical work and toward general marketing, USCIS could determine the position no longer qualifies as a specialty occupation at renewal. Flag any significant scope changes to your employer's immigration counsel early, and document the technical components of your work throughout your employment.
