Here at Zip, we're reimagining how modern businesses function in the age of AI. The simple task of buying software, services, or tools at work has become hopelessly complicated at even the most innovative companies in the world. Today, enterprises spend $120T+ per year globally (>30 times larger than annual consumer e-commerce spend) and rely on vendors more than ever before to run their businesses.
Our co-founders started Zip in 2020 to address this seemingly universal problem with a purpose-built procurement platform that provides a simple, consumer-grade user experience. Within the last 5 years, Zip has created a new category and developed the leading solution in this $50B+ TAM space. Today, the world’s leading companies like OpenAI, Snowflake, Anthropic, Coinbase, and JPMorgan Chase rely on Zip to manage billions of dollars in spend.
We have a world-class team coming from category-defining companies like Airbnb, Meta, Stripe, Salesforce, Apple, and Google. With a $2.2 billion valuation and $370 million in funding from Y Combinator, Tiger Global, BOND, DST Global, and CRV, we’re focused on developing cutting-edge technology, expanding into new global markets, and—above all–driving incredible value for our customers. Join us!

How to Get Visa Sponsorship in Product Marketing
Emphasize quantifiable business impact in your resume
Product marketing hiring managers want to see pipeline influence, win rates, and launch outcomes. Numbers make your contributions concrete and give visa-sponsoring employers a clear return-on-investment case for the paperwork.
Focus your outreach on Series B and later startups
Mid-stage companies often have dedicated legal budgets for immigration and enough headcount to justify sponsorship. Early-stage startups rarely do, and enterprise companies can move too slowly for OPT timelines.
Build a portfolio of product launches and messaging work
A product marketing portfolio with real go-to-market assets, positioning documents, and launch plans signals seniority beyond your title. Senior candidates face meaningfully less resistance when employers weigh sponsorship costs.
Be direct about your OPT status early in conversations
Disclosing your work authorization status before the offer stage saves both parties time. Framing it factually, without apology, signals professionalism and helps you quickly identify employers who are open to sponsorship.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Can I work in Product Marketing on OPT?
Yes. Product Marketing roles qualify for F-1 OPT as long as the work is directly related to your degree field. A degree in marketing, business, communications, or a related discipline typically satisfies this requirement. If your degree is in a STEM field such as computer science or data science, you may also qualify for the 24-month STEM OPT extension if your employer is enrolled in E-Verify.
Does Product Marketing qualify for STEM OPT extension?
It depends on your degree, not the job title. If you hold a STEM-designated degree and your Product Marketing role involves data analysis, quantitative research, or technical product work, your DSO may approve a STEM OPT extension. The role itself does not need to be technical, but there should be a credible connection between your STEM coursework and the work you are doing. Confirm eligibility with your international student office before accepting an offer.
How do I find Product Marketing jobs that sponsor visas?
Migrate Mate is the most efficient way to find Product Marketing roles where employers are open to OPT and visa sponsorship. Filtering by sponsorship willingness upfront avoids wasting time on companies that will not engage with international candidates. Beyond the job board, reviewing public H-1B LCA filings for a company's past product marketing hires gives you a strong signal of their willingness to sponsor before you apply.
What happens to my Product Marketing job if I don't get selected in the H-1B lottery?
Not getting selected does not automatically end your employment. Some employers will keep you on while exploring alternative pathways such as the O-1A for individuals with extraordinary ability, the E-3 for Australian citizens, or the TN for Canadian and Mexican nationals. If no alternative applies, your employment must end when your OPT authorization expires. Having this conversation with your employer before the lottery results are announced gives both sides time to plan.
Do Product Marketing roles at large tech companies sponsor H-1B visas?
Many do. Companies such as Google, Meta, Salesforce, and HubSpot have consistent records of sponsoring H-1B visas for product marketing professionals, as reflected in public LCA disclosure data. That said, sponsorship decisions are made at the hiring manager and HR level, not company-wide policy. A company that sponsors engineers frequently may still decline to sponsor a marketing hire, so it is worth asking explicitly during the interview process.
