ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Senior Analyst, Demand Generation - Paid Social & Programmatic
Why We Have This Role
Qualtrics is an Experience Management company, and enterprise decisions about experience programs are not made by one person. They are made by a committee — a CX or HR leader who owns the outcome, an insights team that vets the method, an IT and procurement group that stress-tests the platform, and a finance leader who wants to see the return. Reaching that committee takes media deliberately built for every stage of the journey, not a single campaign pointed at a single job title.
We run that media across two disciplines that have to work as one system: paid social, where we earn attention inside the feeds our buyers already live in, and programmatic, where we reach them everywhere else and control reach, frequency, and inventory quality at scale. A buyer does not experience these as separate channels, so we do not staff them as separate silos. Everyone on this team works across both.
This role makes that system run. You will build, launch, and optimize campaigns across paid social and programmatic globally — owning execution end to end, from brief to live to optimized to reported. You will work closely with the Lead Paid Media Manager, who sets the strategy you are executing, and you are expected to help shape it: you are closest to the platforms and the data, and the plan should reflect what you are seeing.
How You’ll Find Success
- Full-Funnel & Dual-Channel Focus: You thrive on managing campaigns across both paid social and programmatic as one connected system rather than separate silos.
- Flawless Execution Discipline: You take pride in meticulous campaign setup—from tracking, naming, and conversion configuration to rigorous pre-launch QA.
- Evidence-Based Optimization: You let data guide your decisions, optimizing daily across pacing, bids, audience performance, and budget allocations.
- Strategic Initiative: You bring actionable recommendations and recommendations on spend shifts to performance reviews rather than just presenting reports.
- Proactive Problem Solving: You troubleshoot delivery, pacing, tracking, and match-rate issues independently, escalating with a diagnosis rather than just a symptom.
How You’ll Grow
- Protected Strategy Time: 20% of your time is dedicated and protected for strategy, analysis, and planning contribution to support your professional growth.
- Incremental Strategy Ownership: Take full ownership of a defined slice of the program (a channel, region, product line, or funnel stage) that expands as you demonstrate judgment.
- Lead Strategic Initiatives: Drive one major strategic project per quarter beyond day-to-day execution, such as channel evaluations, audience restructures, or new platform tests.
- Mentorship Toward Senior Roles: Work directly with the Lead Paid Media Manager, who is accountable for developing your strategic judgment and handing over ownership as you prepare for senior and lead-level roles.
Things You’ll Do
- Drive Full-Funnel Growth: Build, launch, and optimize global campaigns directly in-platform across paid social (LinkedIn, Meta, X, Reddit, emerging platforms) and programmatic (DV360, The Trade Desk, StackAdapt, CTV/OLV, display, native, audio) from brief to reporting.
- Maximize Target Account Coverage: Onboard and manage account-based audiences (6sense, Demandbase, Terminus) while maintaining clean suppression and exclusion architectures to eliminate wasted spend on active opportunities, competitors, or non-serviceable accounts.
- Optimize Budget & Pacing: Daily manage pacing and in-flight budget allocations within guardrails for a defined portion of the global media budget, forecasting spend accurately and recommending reallocations based on marginal return.
- Lead Campaign Testing & Strategy: Design, execute, and report on test plans for assigned programs, presenting performance reviews that conclude with clear, data-driven recommendations on what to change.
- Cross-Functional Campaign Delivery: Partner with demand generation, marketing operations, sales development, and creative teams to ensure clear brief requirements, smooth lead flow, and privacy compliance (GDPR/CCPA).
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Hands-On Dual-Channel Experience: 4–6 years of hands-on paid media experience (majority in B2B), with personal experience building and optimizing campaigns in both paid social and programmatic platforms.
- Execution & Technical Rigor: Practical experience with campaign architecture, tracking, conversion configuration, and UTM discipline, alongside working knowledge of CRMs (Salesforce/Marketo), web analytics, and BI tools.
- Full-Funnel Strategy Execution: Demonstrated understanding of top-, mid-, and bottom-of-funnel audience strategies, account-based advertising platforms, and intent data in long enterprise sales cycles.
- Data-Driven Decision Making & Communication: Proven ability to run campaign tests, explain platform metrics clearly to stakeholders, and adjust tactics based on data evidence.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Lead Generation Specialist
Target B2B SaaS and tech companies first
B2B SaaS employers sponsor lead generation roles far more consistently than traditional industries. Their familiarity with H-1B processes and existing immigration infrastructure makes them significantly more likely to file petitions for marketing hires without lengthy internal approval processes.
Frame your degree as a specialty occupation match
USCIS requires your degree field to directly relate to the role. A degree in marketing, business, or communications maps cleanly. If your degree is unrelated, document how your coursework or three years of equivalent professional experience bridges the gap for the application.
Quantify pipeline and revenue impact on your resume
Sponsoring employers need to justify the petition investment. Resumes showing measurable outcomes, such as qualified leads generated, conversion rates improved, or revenue attributed to your pipeline work, make the business case for sponsorship significantly stronger and easier for hiring managers to approve.
Identify companies with existing LCA filings in this role
Employers who have previously filed Labor Condition Applications for marketing or sales development roles already have established processes. Prioritizing these companies shortens your path to an offer and reduces the risk of sponsorship being declined internally during the hiring process.
Clarify the job description requires a specific degree
H-1B specialty occupation requires the role to mandate a degree in a specific field, not just prefer one. Before applying, verify the job posting says 'required' rather than 'preferred.' A posting listing any bachelor's degree as sufficient can complicate the petition approval process.
Use Migrate Mate to filter for verified sponsoring employers
Not every employer who posts a lead generation role is prepared to sponsor. Migrate Mate surfaces companies with documented sponsorship history, so you spend your applications on employers who have already demonstrated willingness to file, rather than discovering late in the process that they won't.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Lead Generation Specialist qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Yes, but the role must qualify as a specialty occupation, meaning it requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field like marketing, business, or communications. Employers need to document that the position isn't open to any general bachelor's degree. Roles at tech companies and B2B SaaS firms are most commonly approved because those organizations typically write more specific degree requirements into their job descriptions.
What visa types are available for Lead Generation Specialists seeking sponsorship?
The H-1B visa is the most common path and requires employer sponsorship and lottery selection. Australians can pursue the E-3 visa, which has no lottery and is faster. Canadians and Mexicans may qualify under TN visa status if the role maps to an approved USMCA occupation. O-1A is an option for candidates with documented extraordinary achievement in marketing or demand generation.
What degree do I need for a sponsored Lead Generation Specialist role?
A bachelor's degree in marketing, business administration, communications, or a closely related field is the standard baseline for H-1B eligibility. USCIS evaluates whether your degree field directly relates to the job duties. A degree in an unrelated field can still qualify if you have three years of relevant professional experience for every year of missing education, but this adds complexity to the petition.
How likely is it that a Lead Generation Specialist petition gets approved?
Approval rates depend heavily on how the employer documents the specialty occupation requirement. Petitions for lead generation roles at technology companies with clearly defined degree requirements in marketing or analytics tend to approve at higher rates. Roles where the job description accepts any bachelor's degree, or where duties are generalist sales support, face higher rates of USCIS Requests for Evidence and potential denial.
Where can I find Lead Generation Specialist jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the most reliable option because it filters specifically for roles where employers have a documented history of sponsoring international candidates. General job boards include sponsoring and non-sponsoring employers without distinction, which wastes time. Migrate Mate focuses on verified sponsorship data so you can apply with confidence that the employer is prepared to file a petition.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Lead Generation Specialist jobs?
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.
