The Team & Role
Gem’s marketing team is scaling fast, and paid digital is the engine behind our pipeline growth. This role sits at the center of our demand generation motion, owning the strategy and execution of Gem’s $1M+ annual digital advertising budget across Google Ads, LinkedIn, and emerging B2B channels.
You’ll report to the Head of Demand Gen and work shoulder-to-shoulder with campaigns, product marketing, content, SDRs, revenue operations, and sales. This isn’t a “set it and forget it” media buying role. You’ll build sophisticated, multi-channel programs that create and capture demand for an AI-first recruiting platform selling into TA leaders, recruiters, and recruiting ops teams at companies ranging from 30 to 5,000 employees.
The right person for this role is equal parts strategist and operator. You think in terms of pipeline and revenue, not just clicks and impressions. You’re deep in Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads. You’ve run account-based programs and know how to use intent data and enrichment tools to target the right accounts at the right time. You use AI tools daily to move faster, test more, and optimize harder. And you thrive in environments where you own the outcome end-to-end.
What You’ll Do Day-to-Day
- Own and optimize paid campaigns across Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and other B2B platforms, with full accountability for budget, targeting, creative, and performance
- Manage and allocate a $1M+ annual digital advertising budget across search, social, display, and ABM channels
- Build and execute account-based advertising programs using intent data and enrichment tools (we use Vector and Clay) to target high-value accounts through the buying journey
- Design and run structured testing programs (A/B, multivariate, audience, bidding) to continuously improve campaign efficiency and conversion rates
- Track, analyze, and report on pipeline-impacting metrics including CAC, CPS2, pipeline influence, and ROI on a daily, weekly, and quarterly cadence
- Partner with product marketing to align ad messaging with product positioning, launches, and competitive differentiation
- Collaborate with content and creative teams to develop high-performing ad assets, landing pages, and syndication programs
- Work closely with revenue operations to ensure clean data flow from ad platforms through Marketo and Salesforce, and accurate attribution tracking
- Align with SDRs and sales on targeting, messaging, and lead quality to ensure marketing-sourced leads convert at high rates
- Use AI tools to accelerate workflows: ad copy generation, audience research, performance analysis, creative iteration, and reporting automation
- Stay current with platform changes, industry trends, and emerging channels. Recommend and test new approaches
About You
- 5+ years of B2B digital marketing experience, with at least 3 years focused on managing paid channels (Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads required)
- Deep, hands-on expertise in Google Ads: search, display, remarketing, account structure, bidding strategies, and conversion tracking
- Deep, hands-on expertise in LinkedIn Ads: sponsored content, conversation ads, audience targeting, matched audiences, and ABM campaigns
- Proven experience building and scaling account-based advertising programs that deliver measurable pipeline results
- Experience using intent data or enrichment tools (e.g., Vector, Clay, 6Sense, DemandBase, Bombora, or similar) to inform targeting and campaign strategy
- Strong analytical skills with experience in marketing attribution (Bizible or equivalent), CRM reporting (Salesforce), and data visualization (Looker or similar)
- Comfort with marketing automation platforms (Marketo preferred) for lead flow, scoring, and campaign integration
- Demonstrated AI fluency: you actively use AI tools to improve campaign performance, whether for ad copy, audience analysis, reporting, or workflow automation
- Experience in B2B SaaS is required. HR Tech or recruiting industry experience is a plus
- Strong project management skills and ability to manage multiple campaigns and stakeholders simultaneously
- Startup or growth-stage company experience preferred. Comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and wearing multiple hats
Benefits
- Highly competitive salary & equity
- 10-year window to exercise your stock options
- Supportive Flexible Time Off program
- 16 paid holidays, including regular company-wide wellness days
- Best-in-class medical, dental & vision insurance
- $1,200 annual stipend for learning and development opportunities
- 16 weeks of Paid Parental Leave for birthing and non-birthing parents
- New Parent Perks totaling $1,500 and flexibility upon return to work

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Digital Marketing Manager
Position yourself as a specialty occupation
USCIS requires that your role demand a specific bachelor's degree, not just any degree. Emphasize the technical depth of your work: SEO architecture, marketing attribution modeling, or paid media strategy tied directly to your field of study.
Target employers with a sponsorship track record
Companies that have sponsored digital marketing roles before are far more likely to do it again. Browse Migrate Mate to find employers who have actively sponsored H-1B visa or E-3 petitions for marketing positions in the past two years.
Lead with performance metrics in your application
Sponsoring employers absorb legal costs and processing risk. Quantified results, such as revenue attributed to campaigns, CAC improvements, or organic traffic growth, make the business case for sponsorship significantly easier for hiring managers to approve.
Clarify your visa timeline early in interviews
If you're on OPT with limited runway, disclose your timeline before the offer stage. Employers who sponsor want time to plan the LCA filing, and surprises late in the process can collapse otherwise strong offers.
Understand the H-1B lottery before relying on it
The H-1B cap-subject lottery selects roughly 25% of registrations annually. If you have a U.S. master's degree, you enter an additional pool. Build a backup plan around OPT extensions, the E-3, or cap-exempt employers.
Request premium processing if timelines are tight
USCIS premium processing guarantees a decision within 15 business days for an additional fee paid by the employer. If your start date is within 60 days of filing, it's worth raising this option directly with your prospective employer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Digital Marketing Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Generally yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as marketing, communications, or digital media, and the job duties reflect that specialized knowledge. USCIS scrutinizes marketing roles more closely than engineering roles, so job descriptions should avoid language like 'bachelor's preferred' or 'in any field.' Roles emphasizing analytics, SEO architecture, or performance media tend to hold up better under adjudication.
What visa options exist for Senior Digital Marketing Managers beyond the H-1B?
Australian citizens can apply for the E-3 visa, which has no lottery and a 10,500 annual cap that has never been filled. The O-1A is available if you have documented achievements such as major campaign awards, industry recognition, or published work. The L-1B applies if you're transferring from an overseas office of the same employer. Each path has distinct requirements, so your situation determines which is realistic.
How common is H-1B sponsorship for digital marketing roles?
Sponsorship exists but is less common than in engineering. Tech companies, large e-commerce platforms, and global media agencies account for the majority of approved petitions. Smaller agencies and startups rarely sponsor marketing roles unless the candidate is a strong hire with a narrow skill set. You can find employers actively open to sponsorship for this role on Migrate Mate, which filters specifically for visa-friendly opportunities.
Do I need a four-year degree to get sponsored as a Senior Digital Marketing Manager?
A four-year U.S.-equivalent bachelor's degree is the standard requirement. Australian three-year degrees are generally accepted as equivalent by USCIS. If you don't have a degree, three years of relevant professional experience can substitute for each year of education under the specialty occupation equivalency rule, meaning 12 years of documented experience could replace a four-year degree, though this path requires more documentation and carries more risk of an RFE.
What makes a Senior Digital Marketing Manager application more likely to be approved?
Approval rates improve when the job description clearly ties required duties to a specific degree field, when the employer has prior sponsorship history in marketing roles, and when the candidate's degree directly matches the role. Offering a senior-level title with strategic responsibilities, such as managing multi-channel budgets or leading a team, strengthens the specialty occupation argument. USCIS approval is less predictable for generalist marketing roles than for highly technical ones.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Senior Digital 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.
