The Team & Role
Gem’s marketing team is scaling fast, and paid digital is the engine behind our pipeline growth. This role sits at the center of our demand generation motion, owning the strategy and execution of Gem’s $1M+ annual digital advertising budget across Google Ads, LinkedIn, and emerging B2B channels.
You’ll report to the Head of Demand Gen and work shoulder-to-shoulder with campaigns, product marketing, content, SDRs, revenue operations, and sales. This isn’t a “set it and forget it” media buying role. You’ll build sophisticated, multi-channel programs that create and capture demand for an AI-first recruiting platform selling into TA leaders, recruiters, and recruiting ops teams at companies ranging from 30 to 5,000 employees.
The right person for this role is equal parts strategist and operator. You think in terms of pipeline and revenue, not just clicks and impressions. You’re deep in Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads. You’ve run account-based programs and know how to use intent data and enrichment tools to target the right accounts at the right time. You use AI tools daily to move faster, test more, and optimize harder. And you thrive in environments where you own the outcome end-to-end.
What You’ll Do Day-to-Day
- Own and optimize paid campaigns across Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and other B2B platforms, with full accountability for budget, targeting, creative, and performance
- Manage and allocate a $1M+ annual digital advertising budget across search, social, display, and ABM channels
- Build and execute account-based advertising programs using intent data and enrichment tools (we use Vector and Clay) to target high-value accounts through the buying journey
- Design and run structured testing programs (A/B, multivariate, audience, bidding) to continuously improve campaign efficiency and conversion rates
- Track, analyze, and report on pipeline-impacting metrics including CAC, CPS2, pipeline influence, and ROI on a daily, weekly, and quarterly cadence
- Partner with product marketing to align ad messaging with product positioning, launches, and competitive differentiation
- Collaborate with content and creative teams to develop high-performing ad assets, landing pages, and syndication programs
- Work closely with revenue operations to ensure clean data flow from ad platforms through Marketo and Salesforce, and accurate attribution tracking
- Align with SDRs and sales on targeting, messaging, and lead quality to ensure marketing-sourced leads convert at high rates
- Use AI tools to accelerate workflows: ad copy generation, audience research, performance analysis, creative iteration, and reporting automation
- Stay current with platform changes, industry trends, and emerging channels. Recommend and test new approaches
About You
- 5+ years of B2B digital marketing experience, with at least 3 years focused on managing paid channels (Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads required)
- Deep, hands-on expertise in Google Ads: search, display, remarketing, account structure, bidding strategies, and conversion tracking
- Deep, hands-on expertise in LinkedIn Ads: sponsored content, conversation ads, audience targeting, matched audiences, and ABM campaigns
- Proven experience building and scaling account-based advertising programs that deliver measurable pipeline results
- Experience using intent data or enrichment tools (e.g., Vector, Clay, 6Sense, DemandBase, Bombora, or similar) to inform targeting and campaign strategy
- Strong analytical skills with experience in marketing attribution (Bizible or equivalent), CRM reporting (Salesforce), and data visualization (Looker or similar)
- Comfort with marketing automation platforms (Marketo preferred) for lead flow, scoring, and campaign integration
- Demonstrated AI fluency: you actively use AI tools to improve campaign performance, whether for ad copy, audience analysis, reporting, or workflow automation
- Experience in B2B SaaS is required. HR Tech or recruiting industry experience is a plus
- Strong project management skills and ability to manage multiple campaigns and stakeholders simultaneously
- Startup or growth-stage company experience preferred. Comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and wearing multiple hats
Benefits
- Highly competitive salary & equity
- 10-year window to exercise your stock options
- Supportive Flexible Time Off program
- 16 paid holidays, including regular company-wide wellness days
- Best-in-class medical, dental & vision insurance

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Digital Marketing Manager
Align your degree to the role
USCIS scrutinizes specialty occupation eligibility for marketing roles. A degree in marketing, advertising, communications, or business with a marketing concentration strengthens your petition. A general business degree with no marketing focus invites Requests for Evidence.
Search LCA filings by occupation code
Use the OFLC Wage Search to find employers who have certified Labor Condition Applications under SOC code 11-2021 for Marketing Managers. This shows you which companies have actively filed for this exact role, not just general H-1B sponsors.
Target employers with in-house HR infrastructure
Enterprise e-commerce, SaaS, and media companies run repeat H-1B cycles and have immigration counsel on retainer. Startups under 50 employees rarely have the infrastructure to file on time, even with genuine intent to sponsor.
Find verified H-1B sponsors on Migrate Mate
Filter Senior Digital Marketing Manager roles by employers with confirmed H-1B filing history on Migrate Mate. This cuts out positions where sponsorship is listed as possible but the employer has no DOL filing record for marketing roles.
Negotiate the offer before the LCA is filed
Your title and job duties must match what the employer certifies with DOL on the LCA. If your responsibilities shift after filing, the petition may not hold. Confirm the exact role scope in writing before the employer submits the LCA.
Flag your portfolio as IP-generating work
H-1B marketing petitions benefit from evidence that your work requires theoretical and practical application of specialized knowledge. Document campaigns involving A/B testing frameworks, attribution modeling, or proprietary analytics tools in your support letter.
H-1B Visa Senior Digital Marketing Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Digital Marketing Manager 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, communications, or digital media. USCIS evaluates the job duties, not just the title. Roles that accept any bachelor's degree regardless of field are more likely to receive a specialty occupation challenge, so the job description needs to specify the required discipline explicitly.
Which employers most commonly sponsor H-1B visas for digital marketing managers?
Enterprise technology companies, e-commerce platforms, and large media groups file the highest volume of H-1B LCAs for marketing manager roles. These employers run annual H-1B cycles, have immigration legal teams, and budget for premium processing. You can identify which companies have certified LCAs for this occupation code using the OFLC Wage Search, or browse verified sponsors directly on Migrate Mate.
What happens to my H-1B status if my employer eliminates my marketing role?
You have a 60-day grace period after involuntary termination to find a new H-1B sponsor, change status, or depart the U.S. During that window, you can't work, but you can interview and negotiate offers. A new employer must file a cap-exempt transfer petition before your grace period ends. Starting your job search before an anticipated layoff significantly improves your position.
Can my employer count performance bonuses toward the H-1B prevailing wage requirement?
No. DOL requires that the prevailing wage be met through guaranteed cash compensation, specifically base salary. Discretionary bonuses, commissions, and equity cannot be counted toward the wage floor certified on the LCA. If your base salary falls below the prevailing wage for your location and level, the LCA will not be certified regardless of your total compensation package.
How does the H-1B cap lottery affect my timeline as a digital marketing manager?
Cap-subject H-1B petitions are filed in April for an October 1 start date, meaning there's a months-long gap between your job offer and your authorization to work. If you're already on OPT or another authorized status, cap-gap rules may bridge that period. Roles at universities, nonprofit research institutions, or government entities are cap-exempt and can start immediately after USCIS approves the petition.
