Working in partnership with HR product and functional leaders, this role helps establish and lead a product-oriented operating model in which multidisciplinary teams are organized around HR capabilities, employee and candidate experiences, and measurable business outcomes rather than individual applications or projects.

- Serve as the technology steward for Oracle Fusion HCM, maximizing capabilities available through the strategic platform before introducing additional technologies or custom solutions.
- Evaluate Oracle-delivered capabilities, roadmap functionality, configuration, extensibility, AI, automation, analytics, and agent-based capabilities before identifying residual capability gaps requiring other solutions.
- Ensure product decisions align with enterprise architecture, ERP, Data & AI, cybersecurity, and integration strategies.
Integrated Product Leadership
- Co-lead multidisciplinary HR product groups with HR product/business leadership, bringing together functional, technical, integration, data, UX, architecture, cybersecurity, change, and operational expertise.
- Establish clear accountability across product management, technology delivery, platform ownership, and business process ownership.
- Enable persistent teams to move from problem identification through discovery, design, delivery, adoption, measurement, and continuous optimization.
- Manage technology capacity across support teams based on enterprise priorities, product roadmaps, dependencies, and business value.
- Establish product governance and delivery practices that enable rapid decision-making while maintaining enterprise architecture, security, compliance, and operational standards.
Product Delivery & Operational Excellence
- Lead continuous delivery across new capabilities, platform releases, integrations, optimization, technical debt, and production support.
- Ensure coordination across Oracle HCM and dependent platforms including Payroll, UKG, Finance, identity/access, enterprise data platforms, and other workforce technologies.
- Maintain accountability for platform reliability, service performance, security, technical health, delivery quality, and financial stewardship.
- Establish appropriate product and operational measures, including adoption, experience, reliability, cycle time, business outcomes, and platform value.
- Manage complex dependencies and issues across internal teams, Oracle, implementation partners, and other vendors.
Business Partnership & Experience
- Serve as a strategic technology partner to Human Resources leadership.
- Partner with HR product leaders to prioritize opportunities based on business value, employee experience, risk, feasibility, and enterprise strategy.
- Promote process simplification and standardization before introducing customization.
- Maintain an end-to-end perspective across employee, candidate, manager, and HR experiences rather than optimizing individual modules in isolation.
- Communicate product strategy, roadmap, outcomes, investment requirements, risks, and decisions to senior leadership.
Team & Capability Leadership
- Build and lead the technology capabilities required to support persistent, multidisciplinary HR product teams.
- Coach and develop team members in Oracle expertise, product management, agile/product delivery, integration, data, automation, and emerging technologies.
- Evolve roles and ways of working from project/application-centric delivery toward durable product teams with clear outcome accountability.
- Determine the appropriate mix of internal staff, strategic partners, and vendor resources based on product demand and required capabilities.
- Manage Oracle and other strategic technology partner relationships.
Innovation & Continuous Improvement

- Partner with Data & AI teams to enable enterprise workforce analytics, intelligent decision support, and responsible use of HR data.
- Continuously identify opportunities to simplify the technology landscape, reduce customization and technical debt, improve user experience, and increase the value realized from strategic platforms.

Search Development Director Jobs in CaliforniaDevelopment Director Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for development directors in California?
Universities and research institutions are among the most consistent sponsors for development directors in California, including the University of California system, Stanford University, and USC. Large nonprofits, healthcare organizations like Kaiser Permanente and Cedars-Sinai, and major tech companies with corporate social responsibility or philanthropic arms also have sponsorship histories for this role. Sponsorship is more common at organizations with established HR and legal infrastructure.
Which visa types are most common for development director roles in California?
The H-1B visa is the most common visa for development directors in California, as the role typically requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant field such as nonprofit management, communications, or business. Some candidates with extraordinary achievement in fundraising or institutional development may qualify for an O-1A. International candidates already holding TN visa or E-3 visa status may also find employer transfer to those categories more straightforward than a new H-1B filing.
Which cities in California have the most development director sponsorship jobs?
The San Francisco Bay Area leads for development director sponsorship, driven by a dense concentration of universities, tech-adjacent nonprofits, and foundations in cities like San Francisco, Oakland, and Palo Alto. Los Angeles follows closely, with strong demand from entertainment-sector foundations, healthcare systems, and higher education institutions. San Diego also has notable activity, particularly through its research universities and biotech-affiliated nonprofits.
How to find development director visa sponsorship jobs in California?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship availability, making it easier to identify development director roles in California where employers are open to sponsoring international candidates. Rather than sorting through hundreds of general postings, you can focus on organizations that have indicated sponsorship willingness. Migrate Mate covers roles across the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and San Diego, which are the primary hiring hubs for this position in the state.
Are there state-specific considerations for development director roles in California?
California's prevailing wage requirements under H-1B rules reflect the state's high cost of living, particularly in the Bay Area and Los Angeles metro, meaning employers must certify that the offered compensation meets Department of Labor wage levels for the occupation and region. California also has strong worker-protection laws that interact with visa employment conditions. University and nonprofit employers in California tend to have more experience navigating sponsorship for development roles than smaller organizations.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored development director jobs in California?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
