DESIGNTEX, a leading design and product development company that offers innovative and performance-tested, environment enhancement surfaces and solutions. An inquisitive nature allows us to be leaders in unique design, fabric technology, environmental responsibility and service. A Steelcase (NYSE:scs) company.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Designtex is built on three ideas: Beauty, Utility, and Sustainability. As our VP of Product Management, you'll be the leader who makes sure every product we bring to market lives up to all three.
You'll lead a multidisciplinary team of specialists across Product Development & Launch, Sustainability, Applied Research, Compliance, Lifecycle Strategy, and Materials & Application. Together, this team turns design-complete materials into specification-ready products and keeps them that way for their entire lifecycle.
This is a role for a systems thinker who loves complexity, champions sustainability, and wants to shape how a design-driven brand innovates, launches, and grows.
Own product integrity. You'll be ultimately accountable for every product Designtex offers. Your team qualifies material performance by end use, builds accurate specifications, and translates supplier descriptions into our taxonomy, all in service of launching on time and on budget, with the sampling, digital assets, and documentation customers need to specify with confidence.
Champion sustainability. Designtex was an early adopter and remains a market leader in sustainability. You'll lead our Sustainability and Applied Research team in setting ambitious goals, maintaining transparency, and building voluntary initiatives that support human, climate, and ecosystem health.
Accelerate time to market without compromise. You’ll maintain the comprehensive launch readiness that differentiates Designtex in the marketplace while advancing initiatives that shorten the path from design to market availability. You’ll set benchmarks to track progress against time-to-market objectives and ensure that increased speed does not dilute the customer experience.
Set the strategic vision. Your team leads the organization in structured product data, including data that optimizes AI search for our audiences. You'll keep this precise, detail-driven work aligned with customer focus and growth.
Elevate product management as a core capability. You'll give visibility to a vital behind-the-scenes team, listen closely to subject-matter experts, and bring their insights to light. You'll rally cross-functional partners to solve systemic problems and guide choice-making when priorities compete.
Lead compliance execution. Working with Steelcase subject-matter experts, you'll apply guidance on Global Trade and red-listed chemicals across our offering, from labeling to sunsetting.
Enable Sales. Your team is a trusted source of application guidance, performance and sustainability expertise, and product knowledge content. You'll balance urgent Sales needs with long-term product strategy.
Reframe our innovation agenda. Designtex has a long history of industry firsts. You'll propose a go-forward innovation strategy with clear criteria for what fits our capabilities and stays authentic to our brand.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Vice President of Product Management
Align your credentials to specialty occupation standards
Your degree field must connect directly to product management at the VP level. A background in computer science, engineering, or business administration maps cleanly to USCIS specialty occupation criteria. If your degree is in an unrelated discipline, document how graduate coursework or progressive responsibilities bridge the gap before your employer files.
Look up prevailing wages before negotiating offers
VP of Product Management falls under SOC code 11-2021. Run the OFLC Wage Search for your target metro area and wage level before entering salary discussions. Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the prevailing rate, so knowing the floor protects you from offers that cannot legally proceed.
Find sponsors through verified LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to browse VP of Product Management roles at employers with confirmed H-1B LCA filing history. Focusing on companies that have filed for similar senior product roles reduces the risk of pursuing employers unfamiliar with executive-level sponsorship requirements or unwilling to cover premium processing costs.
Target companies with established immigration infrastructure
Large technology, enterprise software, and consumer platforms routinely sponsor VP-level product roles and have in-house immigration counsel or retained law firms. Prioritize employers whose job postings explicitly state H-1B sponsorship availability, since VP-level hiring involves legal review before an offer letter is issued.
Get a separate LCA for each distinct worksite
If your VP role requires regular presence at offices in multiple cities, your employer must file a certified LCA for each worksite location before you work there. This is a common compliance gap at the executive level, where hybrid or multi-office arrangements are standard. Confirm the LCA coverage scope with your employer's immigration counsel before your start date.
Request premium processing before your start date
USCIS premium processing guarantees a decision on your I-129 petition within 15 business days. For VP-level roles, where onboarding timelines and board-level visibility are compressed, ask your employer to include premium processing in the sponsorship package rather than leaving it as an optional upgrade negotiated after the offer.
H-1B Visa Vice President of Product Management: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Vice President of Product Management role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes. A VP of Product Management role typically qualifies as a specialty occupation because it requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as computer science, engineering, business administration, or information systems. USCIS looks at whether the position routinely requires that level of education, and senior product leadership roles consistently meet that standard based on the analytical, strategic, and technical complexity involved.
How do I find employers who actively sponsor H-1B visas for VP of Product Management roles?
Migrate Mate lists employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history, so you can browse VP of Product Management openings at companies that have already demonstrated a willingness to sponsor. This is more reliable than filtering general job boards, where sponsorship availability is often unstated or inaccurate at the senior level.
How long does H-1B status last for a VP of Product Management hired from abroad?
H-1B status is granted for an initial period of up to three years and can be extended to a maximum of six years. Extensions beyond six years are possible only if your employer has filed a qualifying immigrant visa petition on your behalf and specific conditions under immigration law apply. You cannot assume H-1B status continues indefinitely in a VP role without active employer sponsorship at each stage.
What happens to my H-1B sponsorship if I get promoted or change divisions within the same company?
A material change in your job duties, title, or worksite can require your employer to file an amended I-129 petition with USCIS before the change takes effect. Moving from a director-level product role into a VP position is typically considered a material change. Your employer's immigration counsel should review any internal promotion or structural change before it becomes effective to avoid compliance issues.
Can my employer use a staffing arrangement or consulting contract to sponsor my H-1B as a VP of Product Management?
Third-party placement arrangements for VP-level product roles face heightened USCIS scrutiny because the agency examines whether the petitioning employer controls the work and maintains a valid employer-employee relationship. USCIS has historically issued Requests for Evidence in consulting or staffing scenarios for senior roles. Direct employment by the end-client company is the strongest sponsorship structure for a VP position.
