Live Music at Spotify is dedicated to connecting fans with live experiences — bridging the world of streaming and the concert floor. Our team works at the intersection of Spotify's massive listener base and the live events ecosystem, helping fans discover, access, and attend the shows they love.
The Partner Operations team sits at the heart of the Live Music business, leading customer success for our live event affiliate program and owning the operational infrastructure that keeps our ticket partner ecosystem running and growing. We operationalize new business offerings — which means we take things that don't yet have a playbook and build one. We're metrics-driven and KPI-focused, and we actively invest in AI tooling and modern ops practices to stay efficient as the program scales.
We're at an inflection point. We're currently standing up operations for a major new offering, with a significant scaling push expected in H2. It's a rare opportunity to join a team mid-build — where your fingerprints will be on the systems, processes, and outcomes that define how this program grows. If you're someone who gets excited by turning ambiguity into structure, and you want to work somewhere that takes both live music and operational excellence seriously — this is the team.

How to Get Visa Sponsorship in Delivery Lead
Target employers with H-1B sponsorship history
Large consulting firms, tech companies, and enterprise software vendors file H-1B petitions regularly. Prioritize organizations with a documented track record of sponsoring project and delivery management roles, not just engineering positions.
Frame your OPT timeline upfront
Delivery Leads manage long-horizon roadmaps, so hiring managers will ask about your work authorization timeline. State your OPT end date and STEM extension eligibility clearly during the first conversation to avoid late-stage surprises.
Emphasize delivery frameworks on your resume
Certifications like PMP, SAFe, or Scrum Master credentials signal a specialized skill set that strengthens the specialty occupation argument for H-1B sponsorship. List frameworks and methodologies used on each project explicitly.
Connect delivery outcomes to measurable business impact
Sponsors must justify visa petitions internally. Quantify your delivery results: on-time rates, budget adherence, team size, and scope. Numbers make the case for sponsorship easier for hiring managers to escalate to HR.
Identify the right internal sponsor early
At larger organizations, H-1B decisions involve HR, legal, and finance. Find out who owns immigration policy before accepting an offer. A supportive hiring manager without budget authority cannot guarantee sponsorship follows through.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Can I work as a Delivery Lead on OPT?
Yes, if the role aligns with your degree field. Delivery Lead positions typically require a background in computer science, information systems, engineering, or business administration. Your OPT employment must be directly related to your major, so document the connection between your degree and the role's core responsibilities before accepting an offer.
Do Delivery Lead roles qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
They can, but it depends on your degree and employer. If you hold a STEM-designated degree and your employer is enrolled in E-Verify, you may qualify for a 24-month STEM extension. Delivery Lead roles at technology companies are more likely to qualify than identical titles at non-tech firms, since the employer's NAICS code and E-Verify status both matter.
How do I find Delivery Lead jobs that sponsor OPT and H-1B visas?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically for OPT-friendly employers who have sponsored work visas before. Searching there is more efficient than sifting through general job boards, because the platform surfaces roles where sponsorship is already part of the employer's hiring practice rather than an exception they need to consider.
Will employers hesitate to hire a Delivery Lead on OPT?
Some will, particularly smaller organizations without an immigration attorney on retainer. Delivery Lead roles often involve long-term program ownership, and employers worry about losing someone mid-project if sponsorship falls through. Addressing the timeline directly, demonstrating H-1B eligibility, and showing a clear path through the lottery improves your chances considerably.
What happens to my Delivery Lead job if I don't get selected in the H-1B lottery?
If your OPT or STEM extension expires before you secure an H-1B, you'd need to stop working. Some employers explore alternatives like the O-1A for demonstrated leaders, cap-exempt H-1B filings through nonprofit or university affiliates, or L-1 transfers if the company has foreign offices. Discuss contingency options with your employer before lottery results are announced.
