“Head of marketing” role for a country. Does it qualify for EB-1C?

It might, but it depends on the actual responsibilities of the role. The EB-1C is designed for executives and managers of multinational organizations, so the title “head of marketing” matters less than what the position genuinely involves.

The role tends to fit when it combines clear managerial or executive characteristics, such as:

• Responsibility for strategic decisions within the function.
• Leadership of teams and oversight of a department or broad function.
• Management of marketing operations at a regional or global level.

On the other hand, if the role is more focused on tactical execution, without strategic management or team leadership, qualifying under this category becomes harder. Because USCIS evaluates tenure, organizational ties, and the nature of the role on a case-by-case basis, it is worth confirming current requirements on the official source and reviewing the company’s history and structure with a specialist.
