We’re hiring a Sr. Event Marketing Manager to lead a portfolio of high-impact programs across the Higher Education Design and Film community, supporting the next generation of creative talent. In this role, you’ll build and scale Adobe’s presence across leading design schools, film programs, and creative institutions — creating experiences that engage faculty, inspire students, and drive measurable business results. You’ll partner closely with business leaders, faculty champions, student ambassadors, and our sales and customer success teams to translate strategic goals into standout programs. This role owns initiatives end-to-end — from strategy and planning through execution and measurement — with a focus on raising the bar for quality, creativity, and impact. If you’re energized by building meaningful experiences for creative communities and turning them into measurable outcomes, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
- Own the strategy and execution for a portfolio of events across the design and film education ecosystem — from major sponsorships and Adobe-led summits to high-touch campus activations and 1:1 executive experiences.
- Partner with business leaders and cross-functional teams to ensure our event presence supports real goals — target account engagement, product adoption, and long-term institutional relationships.
- Design experiences that feel premium and purposeful. Not just booths and stages, but journeys that reflect the creativity of the design and film communities, and drive impact beyond the event.
- Own the event budget across your portfolio — including forecasting, contract negotiation, and tracking ROI.
- Lead agencies and production partners with clarity and high standards — holding everyone accountable to timelines, creative excellence, and outcomes.
- Measure what matters. Define success metrics, track engagement and pipeline impact, and translate results into insights and next steps.
- Build repeatable playbooks. Spot opportunities to standardize, scale best practices, and mentor others — helping elevate how we show up across the education market.
- Stay close to trends across design and film education, ensuring our presence feels relevant, credible, and connected to the community.
What You'll Need To Succeed
- 8+ years leading event or field marketing programs in B2B tech, SaaS, or enterprise environments, with clear ownership of strategy and execution.
- Experience working with creative communities (design, film, media, content creators), whether within higher education or across the broader creative ecosystem.
- A track record of managing multiple complex high-visibility programs at once and delivering measurable impact across engagement, pipeline, and revenue.
- The ability to think strategically and execute operationally — comfortable setting direction and knowing all the little details.
- Exceptional program and project management skills, with the ability to prioritize, problem-solve, and move initiatives forward in fast-paced environments.
- Strong executive presence and experience partnering with senior business leaders and cross-functional stakeholders; confident presenting strategy, results, and recommendations.
- Proven budget ownership, including forecasting, contract negotiation, and agency/vendor management across high-investment programs.
- A genuine appreciation for the design and film community, with an instinct for building experiences that feel credible and relevant.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and leading through influence rather than authority.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as an Event Marketing Manager
Document your specialty occupation credentials early
Pull your official transcripts and any marketing certifications before you start applying. USCIS scrutinizes whether your degree field directly ties to event marketing, so a degree in business or communications typically carries more weight than a general arts degree.
Target corporate event teams over agencies
In-house event marketing roles at mid-to-large corporations have more predictable H-1B sponsorship pipelines than boutique event agencies, which often lack dedicated immigration counsel and file fewer petitions annually.
Verify prevailing wage before negotiating your offer
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the Level I through Level IV wage for your metro area before you negotiate. Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the applicable level, so knowing this number protects you at the offer stage.
Search LCA filing history on Migrate Mate
Filter by event marketing and related SOC codes on Migrate Mate to see which employers have certified LCAs for this role. That DOL filing history tells you which companies have already built the internal process to sponsor your visa.
Ask employers about premium processing during offer talks
Standard H-1B processing can run several months, which creates a gap if your OPT or current status expires soon. Asking whether the employer will use USCIS premium processing is a practical question, not an unreasonable demand.
Confirm your role meets specialty occupation before you sign
Event Marketing Manager must require a specific bachelor's degree to qualify as a specialty occupation under USCIS rules. If the job posting says a degree is preferred rather than required, push for the offer letter to state the degree requirement explicitly.
H-1B Visa Event Marketing Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Event Marketing Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the employer requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as marketing, communications, or business administration. USCIS evaluates whether the degree requirement is a normal minimum for the role in the industry, not just a preference. Posting language that says 'preferred' rather than 'required' can trigger a Request for Evidence, so the job description and offer letter should be explicit about the degree requirement.
Which employers typically sponsor H-1B visas for Event Marketing Managers?
Technology companies, financial services firms, and large consumer brands with in-house event teams file the most H-1B petitions for marketing roles. Event agencies and experiential marketing shops sponsor far less frequently because they often lack the immigration infrastructure. You can browse verified LCA filing history by employer on Migrate Mate to identify which companies have actually filed for this role in your target market.
How does the H-1B cap lottery affect my job search timeline as an Event Marketing Manager?
USCIS opens the registration window in March each year for the following October 1 start date. If your OPT ends before October 1, you'll need cap-gap coverage to bridge the gap, which extends your F-1 status and EAD automatically if you're selected. Cap-exempt employers such as universities and nonprofits can file outside the lottery window, which is worth factoring into your target employer list.
What documentation should I prepare to support my H-1B petition for this role?
Your employer will need your official degree transcripts, a detailed job description that establishes specialty occupation, and evidence that your degree field is directly related to the role. If your degree is from a non-U.S. institution, you'll likely need a credential evaluation showing equivalency to a U.S. bachelor's degree. Certifications in marketing automation platforms or event technology can supplement your academic credentials but don't substitute for the degree requirement.
Can I switch employers while on H-1B status as an Event Marketing Manager?
Yes. H-1B portability under AC21 lets you start with a new employer as soon as they file an H-1B transfer petition on your behalf, provided your current petition has been approved and you've maintained valid status. You don't need to wait for USCIS to approve the transfer petition before starting work. Your new employer must file before your current job ends to preserve continuous work authorization.
