Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Strategic Business Development Jobs at Affirm Jobs
Frame your experience around fintech partnerships
Affirm's business development roles focus on merchant integrations, payment network partnerships, and financial product distribution. Highlight deal structures, partnership revenue metrics, or platform integrations from your background rather than generic sales or relationship management experience.
Target roles with dedicated sponsorship budget
Affirm sponsors across multiple visa categories including H-1B, TN, and Green Card pathways. Senior-level strategic roles are more likely to carry allocated sponsorship budget, so prioritize applying to positions that require advanced deal-structuring or enterprise partnership experience.
Align your degree to the specialty occupation standard
USCIS requires H-1B roles to qualify as specialty occupations, meaning a specific bachelor's degree or higher is a normal requirement for the position. For business development at Affirm, degrees in finance, economics, or business administration typically satisfy this standard most cleanly.
Raise sponsorship early in recruiter conversations
Affirm's recruiting team handles sponsorship discussions internally, so bring it up in the first screening call rather than waiting for the offer stage. Knowing your visa type and current status upfront prevents late-stage delays when the legal team engages for petition preparation.
Use Migrate Mate to filter Affirm's open roles
Affirm posts Strategic Business Development roles across multiple job boards, making it easy to miss active openings. Use Migrate Mate to filter Affirm's listings by visa sponsorship type and role category so you're only reviewing positions that match your authorization needs.

Find Strategic Business Development at Affirm JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Affirm sponsor H-1B visas for Strategic Business Developments?
Yes, Affirm sponsors H-1B visas for Strategic Business Development roles. The company has an active track record across this visa category. H-1B sponsorship is subject to the annual cap and lottery, so timing matters. If you're on OPT, confirm your expiration date relative to the April filing window and discuss the timeline with your Affirm recruiter early in the process.
How do I apply for Strategic Business Development jobs at Affirm?
Applications go through Affirm's careers page, where roles are listed by function and location. You can also find Affirm's visa-sponsoring business development roles filtered by authorization type on Migrate Mate. Once you apply, Affirm's recruiting process typically includes an initial screen, a case or strategy exercise, and several rounds of panel interviews focused on partnership experience and commercial judgment.
Which visa types does Affirm commonly use for Strategic Business Development roles?
Affirm sponsors H-1B, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and TN visas for Strategic Business Development positions. It also supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card pathways for longer-term immigration planning. TN is available only to Canadian and Mexican nationals and requires a qualifying degree in a USMCA-listed profession, which most business development candidates in finance or economics satisfy.
What qualifications does Affirm expect for Strategic Business Development roles?
Affirm typically looks for candidates with experience in fintech, payments, or financial services partnerships. For mid-to-senior roles, expect requirements around managing complex deal cycles, structuring commercial agreements, and working cross-functionally with product and legal teams. A bachelor's degree in business, finance, or economics is standard, and an MBA is common at the senior level. Direct experience with merchant or platform integrations carries significant weight.
How do I time my H-1B sponsorship process when targeting Affirm?
H-1B petitions must be filed with USCIS by April 1 for an October 1 start date. If you receive an offer after April, your start date typically shifts to the following fiscal year. Affirm's legal team generally initiates the petition process several weeks before the filing deadline, so receiving your offer by late February gives you enough lead time to complete USCIS registration and prepare supporting documentation.
