Description

  • Proactively identify, target, and close high-leverage partnerships across the AI and developer ecosystem.
  • Own the full partnership lifecycle from sourcing and outreach through negotiation, integration scoping, and activation.
  • Build Mercury’s presence in developer communities through conferences, online engagement, and public credibility-building.
  • Define and execute Mercury’s go-to-market strategy for the AI and developer ecosystem.
  • Develop joint go-to-market plans with partners, including co-marketing, co-sell motions, and integration launch strategies.
  • Feed insights from the developer ecosystem back into Mercury’s roadmap and partnership strategy.
  • Build Mercury’s presence as a financial infrastructure partner across AI-native platforms, MCP integrations, and developer tools.
  • Position Mercury as the default financial layer for AI-native businesses and the platforms they are built on.

Requirements

  • Technical foundation with the ability to understand how APIs work and evaluate integration complexity.
  • Ability to speak credibly with engineers and CTOs about how products are built.
  • Track record of sourcing and closing partnerships, not just managing existing relationships.
  • Strong familiarity with the AI and developer ecosystem, including platforms, communities, influencers, and emerging tools.
  • Commercial mindset with the ability to structure deals and move conversations toward signature.
  • Strong communication skills, including presenting at conferences, writing technical content, and participating in product discussions.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort working with early-stage founders and AI teams.
  • Nice to have: experience in fintech, developer-facing partnerships, Developer Relations, or solutions engineering at an API-first company.

Benefits

  • Competitive total rewards package including base salary, equity (stock options/RSUs), and benefits.
  • Base salary range of $180,900 - $226,100 for candidates in NYC, Los Angeles, Seattle, or the San Francisco Bay Area.
