H-1B Visa Experience Manager Jobs
Experience Manager roles qualify for H-1B visa sponsorship as specialty occupations requiring a bachelor's degree in hospitality, business, marketing, or a related field. Employers file a Labor Condition Application with DOL before petitioning USCIS, and the annual cap means timing your job search around the April filing window matters.

We're hiring an Experience Designer I (XD I) to join our digital team. You'll design apps, web products, and interfaces for connected devices, from the first research interview to the launch video.
This is an early-career role. You've got 2 to 3 years of experience and you're ready to work on real products with real constraints. You won't own every skill below on day one, and we don't expect you to. You'll get hands-on time across the whole process and learn from senior designers who've shipped a lot of it.
The best fit is someone who loves the messy middle of a project. You ask good questions, sketch fast, test early, and care about how the last pixel moves.
Our digital work rarely lives on just one screen. In a given year you might touch:
- Consumer apps for iOS and Android, often as the companion to a physical product
- Web apps and dashboards that turn sensor data into something people can act on
- IoT products where the app, the device, and the setup flow all need to feel like one thing
- Medtech touchscreens built for clinicians and patients, where clarity and safety come first
- Non-traditional interfaces like voice, light, haptics, embedded displays, and AI-driven experiences
One week you're designing an onboarding flow for a smart home device. The next, you're figuring out how a nurse reads a screen from six feet away with gloves on.
Whipsaw is a product design and brand consultancy in San Francisco. We take products from first insight to first customer, with one team covering strategy, industrial design, digital experience, brand, packaging, and launch.
We've partnered with 350+ clients, designed 1,000+ products, and picked up 325+ design awards along the way. Our clients range from funded startups shipping their first product to established companies building something new.
Here's what makes us a little different. The product leads, and the brand follows. Our digital designers sit next to industrial designers and engineers, so the screen on a device and the device itself grow up together.
Base Salary Range: $80,000 to $100,000 per year, based on experience and skills
Location: Hybrid (3-days in person) at 55 Mississippi Street, San Francisco, CA 94107
You'll work across every phase of a project, usually as part of a small team with a senior or lead designer.
Discover
- Run needs finding and user research: interviews, observation, competitive reviews
- Synthesize what you learn into insights, journey maps, and clear problem statements
Define and ideate
- Map flows, information architecture, and wireframes
- Use AI tools to generate and stress-test ideas quickly, then apply your own judgment to pick what's worth pursuing
- Explore app concepts and visual directions, from rough sketches to polished comps
Prototype and test
- Build AI-enabled prototypes that feel real enough to test with users and clients
- Plan and run usability and validation testing, then turn findings into design changes
- Write front-end code when it's the fastest way to prove an idea
Refine and ship
- Refine visual design until every state, edge case, and screen size holds up
- Design UI microinteractions and motion that make interfaces feel alive and easy to read
- Build and maintain design systems that engineering teams can actually use
- Create launch assets and motion graphics for product reveals, websites, and campaigns
Work with clients
- Present work in client reviews and workshops, and explain the thinking behind it
- Partner with industrial designers, engineers, and brand designers so hardware and software line up
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
You'll need
- 2 to 3 years of professional UX/UI experience, at a studio, agency, or in-house team
- A degree in interaction design, HCI, graphic design, industrial design, or a related field
- Strong visual craft: type, layout, color, hierarchy, and an eye for detail
- A solid grasp of UX process, from research through testing
- Fluency in Figma, including components, auto layout, and interactive prototyping
- Hands-on experience using AI tools in your design process, and opinions about where they help and where they don't
- Clear communication, both in writing and when presenting to a room
- A portfolio that shows your thinking and your polish (more on that below)
Nice to have
- Front-end coding skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) or experience building in Framer or Webflow
- Motion design in After Effects, Rive, Protopie, or similar
- Experience designing for hardware, embedded screens, or regulated products like medical devices
- Work on a design system used by a real engineering team
- Comfort running usability sessions and synthesizing results on your own
Don't check every box? Apply anyway. We care more about how you think and how fast you learn than a perfect match.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as an Experience Manager
Document your degree's direct relevance
USCIS scrutinizes Experience Manager petitions because the role spans industries. Get a credential evaluation that maps your degree field directly to the specific experience design or CX function in your job offer, not just to 'management' broadly.
Use OFLC Wage Search before negotiating
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your exact SOC code and work location. Pull the OFLC Wage Search figures yourself so you know the floor before any offer conversation starts.
Target employers with cap-exempt status
Universities, nonprofits affiliated with higher education, and certain research institutions are exempt from the H-1B cap. Experience Manager roles exist in these settings, and cap-exempt employers can file any time of year, removing lottery risk entirely.
Search verified H-1B sponsors on Migrate Mate
Filter Experience Manager openings by employers with confirmed H-1B LCA filing history on Migrate Mate. This surfaces companies that have actually petitioned for the role type, not just those with a general sponsorship policy listed in a job description.
Confirm the SOC code before your employer files
Experience Manager maps to multiple SOC codes depending on industry context. Ask your employer which code they plan to use on the LCA, then cross-check the O*NET profile to confirm it accurately describes your duties before the petition is submitted.
Account for the full cap-subject timeline
Cap-subject H-1B petitions have an October 1 start date at the earliest. If you receive an offer in May, you may need to bridge status for five months via OPT, a change of status, or another authorized category while the petition clears.
H-1B Visa Experience Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Experience Manager role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, if the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as hospitality management, marketing, communications, or human experience design. The key is specificity: a job description that accepts any degree in any field won't satisfy USCIS's specialty occupation standard, so the offer letter must tie the duties to a defined academic discipline.
Which industries sponsor H-1B visas for Experience Manager positions?
Technology companies, hospitality groups, retail brands, financial services firms, and healthcare systems all sponsor H-1B visas for Experience Managers, particularly in customer experience, user experience, and employee experience functions. You can browse verified sponsoring employers with active LCA filing history for this role type on Migrate Mate.
Can my employer file my H-1B petition before I have a start date?
Yes. Cap-subject petitions are filed in April for an October 1 start date, so most employers file six months before you begin work. Your offer letter and LCA reflect the projected start date. The 60-day grace period on your current status also gives you a window if your prior authorization expires before October 1.
What happens if my H-1B petition is denied for an Experience Manager role?
USCIS denials for Experience Manager roles most often cite insufficient evidence of specialty occupation or a mismatch between your degree and the role. Your employer can file a motion to reconsider or reopen, or refile with a stronger evidentiary record including a more detailed job description, expert opinion letters, and industry wage comparisons from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Does my employer need to advertise the Experience Manager job publicly before sponsoring my H-1B?
No. H-1B sponsorship doesn't require PERM labor market testing, unlike green card sponsorship. Your employer files an LCA with DOL certifying prevailing wage compliance, then petitions USCIS directly. There's no recruitment advertisement requirement, which makes H-1B the faster path for Experience Manager roles compared to employer-sponsored permanent residency.
