H-1B Visa Operations Jobs
Operations roles qualify for H-1B sponsorship when they require a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field, think supply chain management, industrial engineering, or business analytics. Employers in manufacturing, logistics, and tech regularly file LCAs for these positions, and the 85,000-slot annual cap means timing your job search to the October 1 start date matters.

Get Access To All JobsAbout Krea
At Krea, we are building next-generation AI creative tools. We're dedicated to making AI intuitive and controllable for creatives - our mission is to build tools that empower human creativity, not replace it. We believe AI is a new medium that allows us to express ourselves through various formats - text, images, video, sound, and even 3D. We're building better, smarter, and more controllable tools to harness this medium. We've raised over $83M and are backed by world-class Silicon Valley investors such as Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital. We work full-time and in-person at our waterfront office in San Francisco. We care about creativity: our team includes musicians, designers, visual artists, and engineers.
This role
We're looking for an Operations generalist to own the systems that keep Krea running. This is a broad role - partnerships and vendor relationships, recruiting, people ops, office, compliance and legal. You'll identify gaps, build the right systems, and make them stick. If something operational needs to exist at Krea, you'll own it.
Some stuff you'll do
Partnerships & Vendors:
- Lead negotiations with GPU and cloud providers, managing credits, capacity, pricing, and SLAs.
- Own relationships with key API and third-party providers end-to-end: onboarding, usage monitoring, renewals, and incident response.
- Stay on top of the creative AI landscape — tools, models, platforms, and emerging players — and identify partnership opportunities worth pursuing.
- Drive partnerships from first conversation to integration and launch, working closely with product and engineering to scope and ship.
Recruiting & People:
- Build and own the recruiting pipeline: sourcing, ATS hygiene, interview loops, scorecards, candidate experience, and offers.
- Make Krea a place people want to work — organize recruiting events, team offsites…
- Own onboarding and offboarding, and make sure both are smooth and well-documented.
Process & Operations:
- Set up and maintain the basic company operating rhythm.
- Look for a new office in SF and wherever we expand!
Legal & Compliance:
- Coordinate contracts (NDAs, MSAs, DPAs) with outside counsel and track renewals and obligations.
- Own compliance projects like SOC 2 readiness and security questionnaires.
What We're Looking For
- Background in consulting, investment banking, private equity, or an early-stage startup where you operated with a lot of autonomy.
- You want to build things and have real ownership — this is a great role if you're thinking about starting a company someday and want exposure to how one is built and run from the inside.
- High agency — you spot problems, propose a plan, and close the loop without hand-holding.
- Comfortable building systems from scratch: checklists, lightweight automations, and processes that actually get used.
- Experience with vendor or partnership negotiations — GPU, cloud, APIs, or similar.
- Strong communicator: tight docs, fast async updates, good judgment on when to escalate vs. unblock yourself.
- You care about creativity — you don't need to be an artist, but you're genuinely excited about what's happening in creative AI and the kinds of people we're building for.
What we offer
- Openness to sponsoring international candidates.
- Work alongside a world-class team building the future of AI creative tooling.
- Significant scope and company-wide impact.
- Competitive compensation (75th percentile of market) with meaningful equity.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Operations
Verify your role meets specialty occupation
Operations titles like 'Operations Manager' or 'Business Operations Analyst' face more USCIS scrutiny than technical roles. Pull the O*NET occupation profile for your specific job code and confirm the typical education requirement is a bachelor's degree in a related field, not a general business degree.
Check employer LCA history before applying
Run your target employer through the OFLC Wage Search to see which Operations job codes they've filed for and at what wage levels. Employers with consistent LCA filings in your SOC code are far more likely to have an established H-1B sponsorship process in place.
Search for H-1B sponsors on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Operations roles by employers with verified H-1B filing history. This surfaces companies that have actively sponsored the position type you're targeting, saving you from applying to roles where sponsorship is an afterthought.
Time your offer around the H-1B cap cycle
H-1B cap-subject petitions must be filed in April for an October 1 start date. Negotiate your offer letter with a start date that accounts for this window, employers who understand the cap cycle will build this into their hiring timeline for Operations candidates.
Request a prevailing wage determination early
Your employer must certify your salary meets the DOL prevailing wage for your Operations role and work location before filing the LCA. Ask HR to run this determination using the OFLC Wage Search before finalizing your offer so there are no surprises at the filing stage.
Document cross-functional responsibilities carefully
Operations roles that span supply chain, finance, and people management can invite USCIS RFEs questioning whether the position is a true specialty occupation. Work with your employer to ensure the job description ties each responsibility to a specific degree-level discipline, not just general business acumen.

Find Operations JobsOperations H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Operations roles qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Operations roles qualify when the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field, such as supply chain management, industrial engineering, operations research, or business analytics. Generic titles like 'Operations Manager' can face USCIS scrutiny if the duties don't clearly require a specific degree field. The stronger the degree-to-duty connection in your job description, the lower your RFE risk.
How do I find employers who sponsor H-1B visas for Operations jobs?
Migrate Mate filters Operations roles by employers with verified H-1B Labor Condition Application filing history, so you can identify companies that have actively sponsored these positions before. You can also search the OFLC public disclosure data by SOC code to see which employers file LCAs in operations-related occupations and what wage levels they certify.
What happens to my H-1B status if my Operations role changes significantly?
A material change in your job duties, location, or employer requires an amended H-1B petition filed before the change takes effect. If your Operations role shifts from, say, logistics coordination to strategic planning at a different site, your employer must file a new LCA and an amended I-129 with USCIS. Working without an amended petition in a materially different role puts your status at risk.
Can I switch Operations employers while on H-1B?
Yes, through H-1B portability under AC21. If your new employer files an H-1B transfer petition before your current one expires, you can start the new Operations role while the petition is pending. The new employer must file a new LCA certified by DOL and an I-129 transfer petition with USCIS. Your prior approval transfers; you don't re-enter the lottery.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for Operations H-1B roles?
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your specific Operations occupation code and work location, certified through a Labor Condition Application before filing your H-1B petition. Prevailing wages for Operations roles vary significantly by title, geographic area, and experience level. You can verify applicable wage levels using the OFLC Wage Search tool before negotiating your offer.
