Department Summary
The Office of the Provost (OtP) is responsible for carrying out the academic mission of the University of Oregon (UO). The office works collaboratively with faculty and staff to enhance academic excellence, student success, and the UO’s overall academic profile. Led by the provost and senior vice president, the OtP is a dynamic, caring community of colleagues committed to the core values of integrity, trust, equity, collaboration, and excellence. The OtP supports and coordinates matters that pertain to faculty success, including hiring, retention, promotion, and tenure processes. We promote the highest standards in teaching, research and service, working closely with the schools and colleges and other critical academic units to promote institutional and personal flourishing. We are responsible for academic financial allocations and the alignment of resources with strategic academic priorities. In service to the public mission of the UO, the OtP cultivates reciprocal relationships of engagement and outreach with communities at the local, regional, and national levels and across the globe.
The UO’s strategic plan, Oregon Rising, includes student career preparation as one of the campus’s four overarching goals for the next ten years. We have a responsibility to our students and families to ensure that our students’ time at the University of Oregon prepares them for the opportunities and challenges of a complex, globally connected world. Large and small businesses, start-ups, nonprofit organizations, and state and federal government all seek graduates who have developed the skills that prepare them to contribute, innovate, and lead in the modern workplace and in our broader society. Graduates are best served by cultivating such skills through both a rigorous education and opportunities to apply that education in real-world settings.
In support of that goal, we are launching eight Career Communities to elevate our career support for students. Each of the Career Communities will focus on an industry or cluster of industries of interest to UO students and will connect students from all majors with industry-informed guidance, experiential learning, and a supportive network of faculty, peers, alumni, and employers.
Position Summary
We are seeking a collaborative leader to serve as the Director of Career Communities, a pivotal role in shaping the future of career development at the University of Oregon. As the architect of a new university-wide model, you will design and build the systems, partnerships, and structures that make each Career Community a vibrant, inclusive hub where students can explore industries, gain hands-on experience, and build professional networks that reflect the diversity of our student body.
Under the leadership and supervision of the Executive Vice Provost for Academic Affairs, you will bring together partners from across campus and beyond—including University Career Center colleagues, faculty, employers, alumni, and community partners—to coordinate the important work already happening and ensure programming remains industry-informed, equity-centered, and aligned with current labor-market trends.
You’ll provide strategic direction across all communities while empowering Program Directors to innovate and tailor their work to the unique needs of different industries. You will foster an environment for your team where innovation, continuous improvement, and student experience are core to everyday work.
You will also lead efforts to use data to strengthen outcomes, close equity gaps, and communicate impact to university leadership. This position is ideal for a thoughtful, relationship-driven leader who excels at building inclusive frameworks, managing complex initiatives, and championing student success at scale.
If you are energized by the opportunity to design a transformational model, elevate equity in career preparation, and create an environment where all students feel seen, supported, and prepared to thrive at the University of Oregon and beyond, we invite you to bring your leadership to the University of Oregon.

Which companies sponsor visas for director of projects roles in Oregon?
Intel is one of the most active H-1B sponsors in Oregon, with significant operations in Hillsboro that include program and project director-level roles. Nike, based in Beaverton, and Oregon Health and Science University in Portland also appear consistently in DOL disclosure data for senior project leadership sponsorships. Larger engineering and construction firms operating statewide have also filed LCAs for director of projects positions.
Which visa types are most common for director of projects roles in Oregon?
The H-1B is the most common visa for director of projects roles in Oregon, provided the position qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring a relevant bachelor's degree or higher. Candidates with extraordinary achievement may pursue the O-1A. Those transferring within a multinational company may qualify for an L-1A, which covers managerial and executive roles and does not require going through the H-1B lottery.
How to find director of projects visa sponsorship jobs in Oregon?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship availability, making it straightforward to find director of projects roles in Oregon without sorting through positions that won't support international candidates. You can search by state and role type to surface relevant openings at Oregon employers who have a documented history of sponsoring work visas for senior project leadership positions.
Which cities in Oregon have the most director of projects sponsorship jobs?
Portland is the clear center of gravity for director of projects sponsorship activity in Oregon, driven by its concentration of tech, healthcare, and professional services employers. Hillsboro, home to Intel's largest U.S. campus, is a significant secondary hub particularly for technology and semiconductor project leadership. Beaverton and Lake Oswego also see activity due to corporate headquarters and regional offices based there.
Are there state-specific considerations for director of projects roles in Oregon that affect visa sponsorship?
Oregon's prevailing wage requirements under the H-1B program are benchmarked to the Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro metropolitan area for most roles, which reflects a competitive wage tier for director-level positions. The state's strong semiconductor presence, fueled in part by CHIPS Act investment flowing to Intel's Hillsboro facilities, has increased demand for senior project directors with technical program management backgrounds, making Oregon a more active sponsorship market than its size might suggest.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored director of projects jobs in Oregon?
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.
