Smart Delivery Technologies (SDT) is building the sensing, edge intelligence, and interfaces that make Amazon's delivery network the world's safest and most efficient logistics operation — from the delivery station to the customer's doorstep. Our portfolio includes real-time hazard detection, guidance systems for drivers and associates, environmental data capture, and edge compute devices.
We are looking for a Senior New Product Introduction (NPI) Technical Program Manager (TPM), Operations to lead new products end-to-end at the intersection of engineering, supply chain, and operations. This role requires someone who can drive cross-functional execution while also going deep on build and sourcing strategy, supplier negotiations, and cost structure.
The ideal candidate has a strong background in Operations Program Management (OPM), is comfortable owning supplier sourcing decisions, and can build and defend detailed costing breakdowns (BOM cost, tooling, NRE, landed cost) that inform business decisions. You will partner with engineering, product, finance, procurement, and manufacturing teams to launch new products on time, at target cost, and at the right quality bar.
Because SDT lives inside an operations org, our timelines are tight and we must justify product value through pilots before progressing toward mass production. The right person embraces this tension: applying the rigor of a high-volume NPI process while pragmatically right-sizing it to an operations-driven, pilot-to-production reality. This is a high-visibility role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, dives deep into data, and is equally comfortable in a supplier negotiation, a design review, or a business review with senior leadership. Travel should be expected up to 25-30% of the time to engage with suppliers and contract manufacturers globally for builds and relationship development.
Key job responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end NPI program plan across multiple concurrent product launches, from design freeze through mass production ramp
- Drive OPM rigor: schedules, milestones, risk registers, and readiness reviews across engineering, supply chain, quality, and manufacturing
- Lead supplier sourcing strategy, including RFQs, supplier selection, and negotiations in partnership with procurement
- Own material availability across multiple programs by partnering with key component suppliers, manufacturing partners, and product owners to proactively drive sourcing activities and risk buy authorizations
- Build and maintain detailed costing breakdowns (component-level BOM cost, tooling/NRE, labor, overhead, landed cost) and identify cost-reduction opportunities
- Monitor and proactively manage component and product-level End of Life (EOL)
- Partner with finance to align program costs against business case targets and flag variances early
- Identify, track, and resolve program risks and blockers; escalate trade-offs to leadership with clear data-backed recommendations
- Drive design-for-cost and design-for-manufacturability discussions with engineering teams
- Plan and execute pilots/POCs that justify product value, and translate pilot results into go/no-go decisions and the path toward mass production
- Create and present program status, cost, and sourcing updates to senior leadership on a regular cadence
- Establish and improve NPI processes, tools, and mechanisms to scale program management across the organization
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 6+ years of project management disciplines including scope, schedule, budget, quality, along with risk and critical path management experience
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science or equivalent
- 6+ years of technical program management experience
- 4+ years of relevant strategic sourcing including vendor negotiations, global contract management, process improvement, operational and financial analysis experience
- Experience in written and verbal communication with the ability to present complex technical information in a clear and concise manner to executives and non-technical leaders
- Experience managing global supply chains and contract manufacturer (CM/ODM) relationships
- Hands-on experience building and analyzing costing breakdowns (BOM cost, tooling/NRE, landed cost)
- Experience managing cross-functional programs involving engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing, shipping multiple products from concept to mass production
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Project Management Professional (PMP) or equivalent certification
- Experience working across teams and influencing teams that are not your own
- Experience in consumer hardware, electronics, or high-volume manufacturing environments
- Experience with cost modeling tools and should-cost analysis
- Experience deploying hardware into operations, logistics, or safety-critical environments

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Marketing Operations Specialist
Frame your degree against the role
USCIS requires your degree field to align directly with marketing operations duties. A general business degree may trigger an RFE if your transcript lacks coursework in marketing analytics, CRM systems, or campaign management. Pull your official transcripts before applying.
Check employer LCA history before applying
Use Migrate Mate to filter Marketing Operations Specialist roles by employers with active LCA filing history. This surfaces companies already familiar with the H-1B process, cutting the risk of an employer who agrees to sponsor but stalls at the filing stage.
Verify the SOC code on your LCA
Employers filing your LCA typically use SOC 11-2021 (Marketing Managers) or 13-1161 (Market Research Analysts). The code determines your prevailing wage tier. Cross-check your job duties against the O*NET profile for each code before your employer submits to DOL.
Negotiate the filing fee split early
USCIS prohibits you from paying the I-129 base filing fee, but premium processing is negotiable. Raise it during the offer stage, not after signing. Employers in marketing often default to standard processing without considering that a six-month wait affects your start date.
Confirm prevailing wage before your offer letter
Run your offered salary through the OFLC Wage Search using the correct SOC code and employer location before accepting. Marketing operations roles in high-cost metros like San Francisco or New York carry Level II or Level III wage floors that some smaller employers underestimate.
Flag cap-exempt employers during your search
Universities, nonprofit research organizations, and certain government-affiliated entities are exempt from the 85,000-slot H-1B cap. Marketing operations roles exist at these institutions in communications and enrollment teams, and cap-exempt petitions can be filed year-round without lottery exposure.
H-1B Visa Marketing Operations Specialist: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Marketing Operations Specialist role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as marketing, business analytics, or communications. USCIS scrutinizes marketing roles more than technical ones, so your employer's job description should tie specific duties, such as attribution modeling or marketing automation platform management, to that degree requirement explicitly.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for Marketing Operations Specialist roles?
Technology companies, SaaS businesses, and enterprise software firms are the most consistent H-1B sponsors for marketing operations roles because they have dedicated immigration counsel and established filing workflows. You can search for Marketing Operations Specialist positions filtered by H-1B sponsorship history on Migrate Mate, which surfaces employers based on DOL Labor Condition Application data.
What happens to my H-1B if I move from a generalist marketing role into a more specialized marketing operations function?
A material change in duties requires your employer to file an amended H-1B petition with USCIS before the change takes effect. If your title stays the same but your responsibilities shift substantially toward systems administration or revenue operations, the SOC code may also change, which affects your prevailing wage and LCA. Confirm the amendment requirement with your employer's immigration counsel before the role change is formalized.
How does marketing operations experience affect my H-1B petition compared to a more technical role?
USCIS issues RFEs on marketing-adjacent roles at a higher rate than engineering or software roles because the agency applies tighter scrutiny to whether the position truly requires a specific bachelor's degree. Your employer's support letter should document that the role requires specialized knowledge of marketing technology stacks, data pipelines, or attribution systems, not just general business judgment, to reduce RFE risk.
Can I work for a marketing agency on an H-1B as a Marketing Operations Specialist?
Yes, but agency placements introduce a third-party worksite issue. If you're placed at a client site, USCIS may require additional evidence that the agency controls your day-to-day work and that a valid employer-employee relationship exists. Your LCA must also cover each client location where you work. Agencies with established H-1B programs and multiple existing LCA filings handle this more reliably than those sponsoring their first petition.
