For more than a century, Ben E. Keith Company has been a leader in fine food and premium beverage distribution, and we strive to consistently exceed our customers’ expectations. Our Food Division is a complete broad line multi-state distributor, and our Beverage Division operates throughout the state of Texas as a proud distributor of Anheuser-Busch products, craft and import beer brands, spirits, and wine.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Senior Manager, Product Owner – SAP Order-to-Cash (OTC)
This is more than an SAP leadership role—it is an opportunity to shape how the business serves customers, fulfills orders, realizes revenue, and grows. You will own the end-to-end OTC product vision, connect business priorities to scalable technology solutions, and lead modernization across SAP S/4HANA and integrated platforms.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Enterprise-wide influence: Set the roadmap for capabilities spanning order management, pricing, fulfillment, billing, customer service, and revenue realization.
- Visible business impact: Turn strategic priorities into measurable improvements in customer experience, operational efficiency, platform performance, and growth.
- Innovation with purpose: Apply AI, automation, predictive analytics, and intelligent workflows to solve meaningful business challenges.
- True product ownership: Lead the portfolio, roadmap, backlog, investments, and delivery outcomes—not just individual projects.
- Strategic partnership: Collaborate across business, IT, architecture, data, operations, and external delivery partners to optimize the complete OTC journey.
- A stable company investing in the future: Join a long-established, family-owned organization that values employee growth, diverse perspectives, and practical innovation.
You may be a strong fit if you combine deep SAP OTC/SD expertise with product leadership, business acumen, and the ability to turn complexity into a clear, value-driven roadmap. If you are energized by building reliable operations while advancing transformation, this role gives you the scope and influence to make a lasting impact.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Research Product Manager
Document your specialty occupation evidence early
Research Product Managers sometimes face RFEs because the role spans research and product. Gather job descriptions, org charts, and degree transcripts that tie your specific research methodology expertise to a bachelor's-level field requirement before applying.
Target cap-exempt employers for faster timelines
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and affiliated entities are cap-exempt, meaning your H-1B can start any month without waiting for October 1. These employers also frequently hire Research PMs to lead user and market research programs.
Search verified H-1B sponsors on Migrate Mate
Filter by Research Product Manager roles on Migrate Mate to see employers with active H-1B LCA filing history, so you apply to companies already familiar with the sponsorship process rather than educating a first-time sponsor.
Cross-check prevailing wage before accepting offers
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the Level II or Level III wage for your SOC code and work location. An offer below the prevailing wage means DOL won't certify the LCA, which blocks the entire H-1B filing.
Clarify who owns the O*NET classification internally
Ask HR which SOC code they plan to use on the LCA before the offer letter is signed. Research Product Manager duties can map to multiple O*NET codes, and the wrong classification can mismatch your degree field and trigger a USCIS specialty occupation denial.
Negotiate your start date around the cap-gap window
If you're on OPT when your H-1B is selected, the cap-gap rule automatically extends your work authorization through September 30. Structure your offer letter to reflect this so you don't have an unauthorized gap between OPT expiry and your H-1B start date.
H-1B Visa Research Product Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Research Product Manager role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, but the employer needs to demonstrate the role normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as human-computer interaction, cognitive science, market research, or a closely related discipline. Roles that accept any degree may face an RFE from USCIS. Your job description should explicitly state the degree requirement and connect research methodology skills to the academic field.
How do I find employers who actively sponsor H-1B visas for Research Product Managers?
Migrate Mate lets you filter Research Product Manager roles by employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history, so you can prioritize companies that have already navigated the sponsorship process. This is more reliable than assuming any company that lists the title is willing to sponsor, since sponsorship willingness varies significantly even among large tech and research-focused employers.
Can a startup sponsor my H-1B for a Research Product Manager position?
Yes, startups can sponsor H-1B visas regardless of size, but USCIS scrutinizes smaller employers more closely on financial ability to pay the prevailing wage and on whether the specialty occupation standard is met. You'll want the offer letter to clearly define your research-specific duties, and the employer should be prepared to provide financial documentation if requested during adjudication.
What happens to my H-1B status if the research program I manage is discontinued?
If your employer terminates your position, you have a 60-day grace period to find a new H-1B sponsor, change to another valid status, or depart the U.S. Your new employer would need to file an H-1B transfer petition before the grace period ends. Research PM roles can sometimes be reclassified or moved to a different cost center, so confirm with HR whether a departmental change triggers a new LCA requirement.
Does my research-focused master's degree strengthen my H-1B petition as a Research Product Manager?
A graduate degree in a research-relevant field such as behavioral science, UX research, or applied psychology directly supports the specialty occupation argument and can place you at a higher prevailing wage level on the OFLC Wage Search. USCIS looks for a direct connection between the degree field and the job duties, so a research methods-heavy graduate program is more useful than a general MBA for this specific role.
