It can, yes. There is a path under EB-1 for multinational executives and managers, and a role like ‘logistics manager’ may qualify as managerial, provided you actually perform leadership functions and not merely day-to-day operational supervision.

What typically characterizes a managerial function in this context is the nature of the responsibilities you carry. In general, it helps to demonstrate that you:

  • Lead teams or coordinate other professionals.
  • Make strategic decisions and manage processes or resources.
  • Have autonomy and accountability over an operation or area.

Job title alone is not enough. The decisive factor is substantiation through robust documentation, such as detailed job descriptions, organizational charts, testimonials, and records that show the real scope of your leadership within the company.

Since each case is evaluated individually, it is worth reviewing the USCIS updated guidance and, if possible, consulting a specialist to assess whether your role meets the required managerial profile.
