Socure is building the identity trust infrastructure for the digital economy — verifying 100% of good identities in real time and stopping fraud before it starts. The mission is big, the problems are complex, and the impact is felt by businesses, governments, and millions of people every day.
We hire people who want that level of responsibility. People who move fast, think critically, act like owners, and care deeply about solving customer problems with precision. If you want predictability or narrow scope, this won’t be your place. If you want to help build the future of identity with a team that holds a high bar for itself — keep reading.
About the Role
Socure's mission is to verify 100% of good identities in real time and eliminate identity fraud across the digital economy. We're hiring a Developer Marketing Lead to own how Socure shows up with the developer and technical buyer audience — from the first API call to a fully deployed integration.
You'll serve as the primary voice, strategist, and executor for developer-facing go-to-market efforts, acting as the connective tissue between Product, Engineering, and the field. This is a highly strategic, hands-on role for a senior marketer who thrives at the intersection of technical depth and commercial impact — someone who can speak fluently with engineers while driving the pipeline metrics that matter to sales.
Location Requirements:
We are currently only able to hire candidates located in one of our location hubs: New York City, NY; Washington, DC; Seattle, WA; Miami, FL; San Francisco, CA.
Developer Positioning & Messaging
- Define and execute a developer marketing strategy that spans awareness, activation, and retention across Socure's API and platform products.
- Develop clear developer ICPs, technical value propositions, use cases, and competitive positioning that resonate with engineers, architects, and technical decision-makers.
- Partner with Product and Engineering to embed differentiated data, capabilities, and insights into developer-facing narratives.
- Translate complex AI-driven identity and fraud capabilities into compelling, technically credible content that developers trust and share.
- Deliver field-ready and self-serve enablement — integration guides, technical decks, API playbooks, sandbox environments, and developer ROI tools — that accelerate time-to-value.
Developer Campaign Strategy
- Partner with GTM and Growth leaders to build and execute campaigns that generate qualified pipeline from technical audiences, including product-led growth motions.
- Drive awareness within developer communities, forums, and ecosystems to position Socure as the default identity infrastructure for builders.
- Own developer content programs: technical blogs, docs improvements, video walkthroughs, webinars, and conference presence (e.g., developer summits, API World, fintech hackathons).
- Partner with RevOps to define success metrics, analyze funnel performance, and iterate — owning the developer funnel from first touch to activation.
Cross-Functional Partnership
- Act as the developer marketing owner during planning cycles, QBRs, and product launches.
- Influence stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Sales, DevRel, and Marketing to ensure alignment between what's built and how it's positioned.
- Establish and track KPIs tied to developer signups, API activations, sandbox-to-production conversion, and technical pipeline contribution.
- Bring market insights, developer community signals, competitive intelligence, and industry trends into GTM strategy discussions.
What You Bring
- 6–8 years of B2B marketing experience, with a meaningful portion in developer marketing, product marketing for API/platform products, or technical content strategy.
- Demonstrated success driving measurable pipeline and product adoption through developer-focused programs and technical go-to-market motions.
- Strong ability to translate complex, AI-driven or data-centric technology into clear, compelling narratives for technical audiences — without losing the nuance.
- Experience partnering closely with engineering and product teams, and influencing cross-functional stakeholders without direct authority.
- Analytical rigor and a track record of tying developer marketing programs to business outcomes (activation rates, pipeline, retention).
- Strong project management skills and the ability to drive multiple initiatives simultaneously in a fast-moving environment.
- Bonus: hands-on experience with API documentation, SDKs, developer portals, or product-led growth strategies.
Socure is an equal opportunity employer that values diversity in all its forms within our company. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Marketing Lead Jobs
Frame your degree field clearly
Marketing Lead roles typically require a degree in marketing, communications, business, or a related field. If your degree title is adjacent, prepare to show how your coursework directly supports the marketing specialization the role demands.
Target employers with a sponsorship track record
Large consumer brands, tech companies, and agencies sponsor marketing roles regularly. Prioritize employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications before, it signals a working immigration process and reduces the risk of a first-timer backing out.
Get the job title right on your offer letter
Vague titles like 'Marketing Manager' can complicate specialty occupation determinations. Push for specificity, 'Marketing Lead, Demand Generation' or 'Marketing Lead, Brand Strategy' ties the role to a defined discipline and strengthens the H-1B or E-3 petition.
Australian citizens should lead with the E-3
If you hold Australian citizenship, the E-3 is almost always the faster and simpler path. There's no lottery, no cap backlog, and employers can file year-round. Most consulates process E-3 applications within two to four weeks of your interview.
Prepare a portfolio that shows strategic impact
Visa petitions for marketing roles benefit from evidence of specialized expertise. A portfolio showing campaign strategy, budget ownership, and measurable growth outcomes reinforces the specialty occupation argument and helps your employer's immigration attorney build the case.
Raise sponsorship early, not after the offer
Bringing up visa needs at the offer stage creates unnecessary friction. Mention your work authorization situation during the first recruiter conversation so both sides can confirm sponsorship feasibility before investing time in a multi-round interview process.

Find Marketing Lead JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does a Marketing Lead role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Most Marketing Lead positions qualify, but it depends on how the role is defined. USCIS looks for a direct relationship between the job duties and a specific bachelor's degree field. Roles focused on brand strategy, digital marketing, or demand generation, where a degree in marketing, communications, or a related field is genuinely required, typically satisfy the specialty occupation standard. Generic roles where any business degree qualifies can face more scrutiny.
What visa options are available for Marketing Lead roles?
The H-1B is the most common path for non-Australians, subject to the annual lottery. Australian citizens can apply for the E-3 visa instead, which has a 10,500 annual allocation that has never been fully used, no lottery, and allows two-year renewable stays. Canadians and Mexicans may qualify under TN status if the role fits the defined marketing professional category. O-1A is an option for candidates with demonstrable industry recognition.
How can I find Marketing Lead jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically for roles open to visa sponsorship, so you're not sifting through postings where sponsorship isn't on the table. Marketing Lead roles on the platform span tech, e-commerce, agencies, and consumer brands, the employer types most likely to have existing immigration infrastructure and the appetite to sponsor a mid-senior marketing hire.
Do I need a four-year degree to get a Marketing Lead role sponsored?
A four-year bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, business, or a closely related field is the standard requirement for H-1B and E-3 sponsorship. Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are generally accepted as equivalent for E-3 purposes. If your degree is in an unrelated field, relevant work experience can sometimes substitute, USCIS recognizes three years of specialized experience as equivalent to one year of formal education, but this adds complexity to the petition.
What H-1B approval rates look like for marketing roles?
USCIS doesn't publish approval rates broken down by job title, but marketing and communications roles have historically faced higher rates of Requests for Evidence than engineering or IT positions, largely because the specialty occupation argument requires more documentation. Employers with experienced immigration counsel and a well-documented job description, one that specifies the degree field required and explains why, see meaningfully better outcomes than those filing with generic position descriptions.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Marketing Lead 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.
