Who you are:
Geotab is looking for entrepreneurial product and business leaders to head our domains – focused teams that each own a customer outcome and the business results that come with it. As a Head of Domain, you'll own the strategy, roadmap and results for your area, lead a multi-disciplinary team of product managers, designers and engineers, and turn customer problems into products that customers adopt and pay for.
What you'll do:
This is a role for someone who has built and sold something: a leader who measures success by business results, not by what shipped, and who uses AI to change how work gets done. You'll report to Geotab's Technology Development Board and operate with real autonomy as the business owner of your domain.
We welcome applicants nationwide! If you're based near one of our office hubs, this role follows our hybrid model, blending the comfort of working from home with regular on-site days to connect and collaborate.
This is an evergreen posting. We're building a pipeline of exceptional leaders for current and future domain leadership opportunities across Technology Development.
How you'll make an impact:
- Own the outcome. Set the vision, strategy and roadmap for your domain and be accountable for its primary business results – adoption, revenue, retention and customer impact.
- Run it like a business. Make clear build, buy and partner decisions, prioritize by customer and revenue impact, and say no when the return isn't there.
- Stay close to customers. Ground your team in customers' real experience to find the problems worth solving, and work with sales, support and partners to bring solutions to market.
- Lead the AI shift. Redesign how your domain works around AI to move faster, and help others across the organization do the same.
- Build a high-performing team. Hire the right talent without settling, place people where their strengths matter most, set a clear and high bar, and develop the next generation of leaders.
- Work across Geotab. Partner closely with platform, segment and other domain leaders, contribute beyond your own goals, and help shape strategy with the Technology Development Board.
- Manage your investment. Own your domain's people and budget plan, make investment cases, and report on results and risks to the board.
What you'll bring to this role:
- 10+ years of experience in product management, product engineering, or related customer-facing product roles.
- 5+ years of senior product and people leadership with cross-functional scope and direct accountability for customer-facing business outcomes.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent combination of education and work experience).
- Strong product leadership capability with demonstrated ability to define and execute customer-facing product strategy tied to measurable business outcomes, with P&L literacy and revenue attribution.
- Cross-functional leadership experience managing teams across product management, product design, and product engineering disciplines, with proven capability in identifying and coaching high-potential leaders.
- Excellent stakeholder management, change readiness, and communication skills to effectively collaborate with platform teams, segment leads, and executive leadership in evolving organizational structures.
- Familiarity with modern product discovery, validation practices, and engineering practices (CI/CD, cloud-native delivery, agile), alongside the ability to redesign domain workflows around AI to compress effort.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Head of Development
Map your credentials to specialty occupation standards
Pull the O*NET profile for software and IT development management roles and confirm your degree field aligns with the core duties. USCIS scrutinizes whether a Head of Development role requires a specific degree, so a direct match between your transcript and job description strengthens your petition from the start.
Verify prevailing wage before negotiating your offer
Run your target city and job code through the OFLC Wage Search before salary talks begin. The LCA must certify at least the prevailing wage for your worksite, and knowing that floor in advance prevents your offer from being structured below what DOL will certify.
Prioritize employers with active LCA filing history
Target companies that have already certified LCAs for development leadership roles, not just engineering individual contributors. Migrate Mate shows verified LCA filing history by employer and role, so you can identify which organizations have sponsored positions at your seniority level before applying.
Account for each worksite in your petition strategy
If your role involves overseeing distributed teams across multiple offices, remind your employer that each physical worksite needs its own certified LCA. A single certification tied to headquarters won't cover you if USCIS audits onsite work at an unlisted location.
Time your job search around the annual H-1B cap cycle
H-1B cap selection rules have changed recently, so confirm the current registration window directly with USCIS before your employer submits a registration. Missing the filing window by even a day means waiting another full year, which affects your start date planning with any new employer.
Clarify premium processing intent before signing an offer
Development leadership roles often come with hard start dates tied to product cycles or team transitions. Ask your employer upfront whether they'll elect premium processing through USCIS, which targets a 15-business-day adjudication, so you can plan your notice period and transition timeline accordingly.
H-1B Visa Head of Development: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Head of Development role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, Head of Development roles typically qualify as a specialty occupation because they require at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, information systems, or a directly related field. The position involves leading complex technical decisions, architecting systems, and managing engineering strategy, all of which USCIS associates with degree-level theoretical and applied knowledge. Your employer's job description should reflect those duties explicitly.
How do I find employers who have sponsored H-1B visas for development leadership roles?
Search Migrate Mate to browse employers with verified LCA filing history specifically for development and engineering management roles. This lets you filter by role type and location rather than applying broadly and discovering sponsorship readiness late in the process. Focusing on employers with prior H-1B filings at leadership levels significantly reduces the risk of an offer falling through at the petition stage.
What does the LCA process mean for a Head of Development working across multiple office locations?
Each worksite where you perform H-1B duties requires its own certified Labor Condition Application. If your role involves regular work at a client site, a satellite office, or a second headquarters location not listed on the original LCA, your employer must file an amended or additional LCA for that location before you work there. This is a common compliance gap for senior roles with travel or distributed team responsibilities.
How long can I work in the U.S. on H-1B status as a Head of Development?
H-1B status is initially granted for up to three years and can be extended for an additional three years, reaching a six-year maximum under standard rules. Extensions beyond six years are possible if your employer has an approved I-140 immigrant petition or a pending PERM labor certification that meets certain age thresholds. Your employer's immigration counsel should track those milestones well before your six-year limit approaches.
What specialty occupation documentation should I expect my employer to prepare for a Head of Development petition?
Your employer will need to document that the position normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field, not just any degree. USCIS commonly requests the job description, your academic transcripts, evidence that similarly situated employers require the same degree for comparable roles, and your professional experience records. Industry surveys, professional association guidelines, and O*NET classifications for software and IT management occupations are frequently included as supporting evidence.
