Responsibilities
CIOnews is building the editorial and community infrastructure for the next generation of CIO and Enterprise Architect leadership. CIOnews.com is a vendor neutral independent publication and community backed by Workato, and we're hiring the first dedicated owner of our community program.
You'll build the CIO and Enterprise Architect community function from the ground up: strategy, program design, member experience, operations, and create the relationships that make it all work. There is no existing playbook to inherit at CIOnews. That requires a builder mindset and creative approach that internalizes the goal to build www.cionews.com into the new voice of IT leadership in the AI era.
This is a builder's role for someone who thrives in ambiguity. You'll be defining how CIOnews creates value for the CIO and enterprise architect communities, and help us identify, recruit, and sustain relationships with senior technology leaders. You'll work closely with our editorial team to convert those relationships into columns, podcast appearances, events, and more.
In this role, you will also be responsible to:
Community Building & Activation
- Define the operating model for this community: member lifecycle, how members are identified, onboarded, and kept engaged between touchpoints, and the feedback loops that route ideas back into editorial.
- Plan and help execute community activations, including executive dinners, roundtables, and co-branded events with partners.
- Propose and evaluate new plays as the community matures — vertical cohorts, recognition programs, awards, or peer working groups.
Executive Engagement
- Build and maintain a working relationship base of CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, CAIOs, CISOs, and Enterprise Architects.
- Represent CIOnews credibly in rooms with senior technology leaders, at CIOnews events, dinners, and peer gatherings.
- Act as a primary point of contact for community members, understanding their priorities well enough to make smart, low-friction asks.
Content Development
- Source, recruit, and shape story ideas with good editorial judgment drawn from community relationships.
- Partner with the CIOnews editorial team to translate practitioner conversations into published content — podcasts, columns, interviews, and feature pieces.
- Bring genuine editorial judgment: know a good story when a community member mentions it in passing.
Minimum Qualifications
- 7+ years of experience building and managing executive communities, peer networks, customer advisory boards, or similar programs serving senior technology leaders.
- Demonstrated experience designing and scaling community, advocacy, or executive engagement programs within an enterprise SaaS, technology, media, analyst, or consulting organization.
- Proven track record of independently building new programs or functions from the ground up, including defining strategy, operational processes, member engagement, and success metrics.
- Experience developing trusted relationships with senior technology executives, including CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, CISOs, Enterprise Architects, or comparable executive audiences.
- Strong understanding of enterprise technology trends and the priorities of CIO and Enterprise Architecture organizations, with the ability to engage credibly in executive conversations.
- Experience partnering with content, editorial, marketing, or communications teams to develop thought leadership, executive content, or community-driven programming.
- Demonstrated ability to use AI-powered tools and workflows to improve productivity, scale relationship management, automate repetitive work, and identify content or engagement opportunities.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building or managing CIO, Enterprise Architecture, or executive technology leadership communities.
- Experience working at a business publication, industry analyst firm, technology media company, or executive membership organization.
- Familiarity with enterprise AI, automation, integration, or digital transformation initiatives and how they impact CIO organizations.
- Existing relationships within CIO communities, enterprise architecture organizations, or executive peer networks.
- Experience in planning and delivering executive events such as private dinners, roundtables, advisory boards, or leadership summits.
What You'll Need to Succeed
- Builder persona with a proven track record of creating successful programs in ambiguous, early-stage environments.
- Strong editorial judgment with the ability to identify compelling practitioner stories and translate executive conversations into meaningful content opportunities.
- Excellent executive presence, communication, and relationship management skills.
- Systems thinker who approaches community building as an operating system, continuously improving processes, feedback loops, and member experience.
- Comfortable balancing strategic planning with hands-on execution in a fast-moving startup environment.
The base salary range for this position is $215,000 - $250,000 annually and may include equity, benefits, and other components, subject to local eligibility requirements and employment type.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Community Marketing Manager
Target companies with established community products
Platforms built around user communities, such as gaming, creator economy, or SaaS companies, hire Senior Community Marketing Managers regularly and have existing immigration infrastructure, making sponsorship conversations far more straightforward than approaching first-time sponsors.
Quantify community growth metrics in your application
USCIS adjudicators assess whether your role requires specialized knowledge. Concrete metrics like member growth rates, engagement lift, and retention figures reinforce that this is a specialized, degree-requiring position rather than general marketing or communications work.
Frame the role as a specialty occupation early
Some employers hesitate because they assume community roles don't qualify for H-1B sponsorship. A marketing or communications degree is the standard industry requirement for senior-level roles, which satisfies the specialty occupation definition USCIS uses.
Consider O-1A if you have industry recognition
If you've spoken at major industry events, been published in marketing trade outlets, or received awards for community campaigns, the O-1A visa may be a stronger path, as it has no lottery and can be employer-sponsored or self-petitioned through an agent.
Apply ahead of the H-1B registration window
H-1B registrations open in early March each year. Starting your job search several months prior gives your employer time to complete due diligence and legal review before the deadline, rather than rushing through the process under time pressure.
Browse Migrate Mate for sponsors with hiring history
Not every company that posts a Senior Community Marketing Manager role will sponsor a visa. Migrate Mate filters for verified sponsoring employers, so you're spending time on applications that can actually move forward rather than discovering sponsorship issues late.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Community Marketing Manager role qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Yes, Senior Community Marketing Manager roles generally qualify as H-1B visa specialty occupations because they typically require at least a bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, or a closely related field. USCIS looks at whether the degree requirement is standard for the position across the industry, which it is at the senior level. Roles that only require any bachelor's degree regardless of field face more scrutiny, so the degree-field alignment matters.
What degree do I need for an employer to sponsor my visa in this role?
Most employers require a bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, journalism, or a related discipline. Some accept degrees in business or psychology if paired with strong community-specific experience. For H-1B purposes, the degree field should connect logically to the job duties. A general business degree alone is harder to defend than one in marketing or communications, especially at the senior level where USCIS expects clear professional alignment.
How competitive is H-1B sponsorship for marketing roles compared to tech roles?
Marketing roles receive H-1B approvals at lower rates than software engineering roles, partly because the specialty occupation standard is applied more strictly. However, senior-level community marketing positions with clear degree requirements and specialized responsibilities, such as growth strategy, brand community architecture, and cross-functional campaign ownership, have a stronger approval record than junior or generalist marketing titles. Having an experienced immigration attorney prepare the petition matters more than it does for engineering roles.
Where can I find Senior Community Marketing Manager jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. It surfaces Senior Community Marketing Manager openings from employers who have a verified history of sponsoring work visas, so you're not spending weeks applying to roles where sponsorship isn't actually available. Filtering by sponsorship status upfront is the most efficient approach given how much time a full application takes at the senior level.
Can I switch employers on an H-1B if I'm already working as a Community Marketing Manager?
Yes. H-1B portability allows you to start working for a new employer as soon as they file a transfer petition on your behalf, without waiting for approval, provided you've been maintaining valid H-1B status. The new employer files a new Form I-129, and you can begin the role immediately upon filing. The job title and duties at the new employer need to remain consistent with a specialty occupation, so the same degree-alignment standard applies.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Senior Community Marketing Manager 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.
