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.

  • 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.
