Not by itself. The actual managerial or executive duties and organizational authority must be assessed, alongside the qualifying employment and company relationship.
Distinguish coordination from the qualifying role
Explain what the applicant decides within the organization and which duties they perform personally. Describe who delivers the recurring work. A contract value or senior title is context, not a replacement for the evidence of the proposed capacity.
A carrier's dispatch and freight-acceptance function is plainly essential, and a manager who decides which loads are taken, negotiates owner-operator contracts, sets rates and controls the function's budget is managing it, even though the dispatchers are clerical employees and the drivers are contractors. Separately prove a parent, branch, subsidiary, or affiliate relationship, continuing foreign business and either active U.S. business or, for a new office, the ability to commence it, and one continuous qualifying year abroad within the previous three. The expectation is generally one continuous year of qualifying employment with the related organisation abroad within the relevant preceding three-year period, and how a leave, a resignation, or time spent in the United States interacts with that window is a case-specific question for counsel.
