Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Corporate Development Manager Jobs at Affirm Jobs
Frame your deal experience for fintech
Affirm evaluates Corporate Development candidates on experience with financial modeling, M&A execution, and strategic partnerships in financial services or adjacent tech sectors. Reframe any traditional banking or consulting deal experience toward buy-now-pay-later and lending verticals before you apply.
Confirm LCA filing status before accepting
Before signing an offer, ask your Affirm recruiter to confirm that the Labor Condition Application has been submitted to DOL. LCA certification must precede any H-1B petition filing, and delays here can push your start date by weeks.
Target roles open across multiple Affirm locations
Affirm posts Corporate Development roles across several office locations. Applying to openings in cities where Affirm has established legal and HR infrastructure can reduce internal processing friction for first-time H-1B sponsorships compared to newer or smaller offices.
Align your degree field to specialty occupation criteria
USCIS requires that your degree field directly relates to Corporate Development work. A finance, economics, or MBA credential maps cleanly. If your degree is in a tangential field, gather documentation showing how your coursework and experience satisfy the specialty occupation standard.
Use Migrate Mate to filter verified Corporate Development openings
Search Migrate Mate's job board to surface Affirm Corporate Development Manager roles that are confirmed to offer visa sponsorship, so you're not spending time on listings where sponsorship is ambiguous or unavailable.
Request premium processing before your OPT expires
If you're on F-1 OPT and your authorization end date is within six months of your target start date at Affirm, ask the recruiting team early whether they'll use USCIS premium processing. The 15 business day adjudication window is the only reliable way to avoid a gap in work authorization.

Find Corporate Development Manager at Affirm JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Affirm sponsor H-1B visas for Corporate Development Managers?
Yes, Affirm sponsors H-1B visas for Corporate Development Managers. Affirm has an active sponsorship track record across its corporate functions, including deal-focused roles like Corporate Development. If you're interviewing for this role, confirm sponsorship eligibility with the recruiting team early in the process and ask about their timeline for filing the H-1B petition with USCIS.
Which visa types are commonly used for Corporate Development Manager roles at Affirm?
Affirm sponsors H-1B visas as the primary long-term work authorization path for Corporate Development Managers. F-1 OPT and CPT are supported for candidates still in their academic authorization window, and TN visas are an option for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying professional categories. Candidates on the path to permanent residence may also be supported through EB-2 or EB-3 PERM-based Green Card sponsorship.
What qualifications and experience does Affirm expect for Corporate Development Manager roles?
Affirm typically looks for candidates with a background in investment banking, private equity, management consulting, or corporate strategy within financial services or fintech. Strong financial modeling skills, M&A transaction experience, and familiarity with partnership structuring are common requirements. An MBA or a bachelor's degree in finance or economics is generally expected, and USCIS will need to see that your degree field maps to the specialty occupation standard.
How do I apply for Corporate Development Manager jobs at Affirm?
You can browse and apply for Corporate Development Manager openings at Affirm through Migrate Mate, which filters for roles that offer confirmed visa sponsorship. Affirm's application process typically includes a recruiter screen, technical finance or modeling assessments, and panel interviews focused on deal experience and strategic thinking. Flagging your visa status early in conversations with the recruiting team helps avoid delays later in the process.
How do I time my H-1B filing if I'm transitioning from OPT to full-time at Affirm?
H-1B petitions for the regular cap must be filed by April 1 for an October 1 start date. If your OPT expires before October 1, a timely-filed H-1B petition activates a cap-gap extension that lets you keep working without interruption. Coordinate closely with Affirm's HR and immigration team in January or February to make sure the petition is ready well ahead of the filing window.
