Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Business Development Jobs at Amazon Jobs
Frame your BD experience around Amazon's verticals
Amazon's Business Development hiring centers on AWS partnerships, third-party seller ecosystems, and emerging market expansion. Tailor your resume and interviews to show deal experience in technology, cloud, or marketplace contexts, not generic sales or relationship management.
Research which visa category fits your background
Amazon sponsors H-1B, E-3, and H-1B1 visas for Business Development roles. Australians and Singaporeans often move faster through E-3 and H-1B1 pathways, which skip the lottery. Confirm your eligibility before applying so your preferred timeline aligns with Amazon's hiring cycle.
Time your application around H-1B lottery deadlines
If you need H-1B sponsorship, Amazon must register you in the March lottery for an October 1 start date. Targeting roles between October and February gives you the best shot at getting an offer confirmed before USCIS registration opens.
Surface your sponsorship needs early in interviews
Amazon's recruiting process for Business Development roles involves multiple interview rounds across several weeks. Confirm the role is open to visa sponsorship with the recruiter in the first call so you're not deep in the process before a mismatch surfaces.
Understand the LCA requirement before your offer stage
Before Amazon can file your H-1B or E-3 petition, DOL must certify a Labor Condition Application confirming your salary meets prevailing wage levels. This step happens after your offer, so factor two to four weeks of LCA processing into your expected start date.
Use Migrate Mate to find sponsorship-confirmed BD roles
Not every Business Development posting at Amazon is open to visa sponsorship. Filter by visa type and role function on Migrate Mate to surface only the positions where sponsorship has been confirmed, so you're applying where your profile is actually competitive.

Find Business Development at Amazon JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Amazon sponsor H-1B visas for Business Development?
Yes, Amazon sponsors H-1B visas for Business Development roles. Sponsorship is employer-initiated and tied to specific positions, so not every Business Development posting will include it. During your recruiter screen, confirm the role is open to sponsorship before investing time in multiple interview rounds. Amazon also sponsors E-3 and H-1B1 visas depending on your nationality.
How do I apply for Business Development jobs at Amazon?
Applications go through Amazon's careers portal at amazon.jobs, where you can filter by job function and location. Business Development roles at Amazon are competitive and typically require a demonstrated track record in deal-making, partnerships, or market development within technology or adjacent industries. You can also browse sponsorship-confirmed Business Development openings at Amazon through Migrate Mate, which filters roles by visa type.
Which visa types does Amazon commonly use for Business Development roles?
Amazon sponsors H-1B, E-3, and H-1B1 visas for Business Development professionals, along with Green Card pathways including EB-2 and EB-3 for longer-term employees. Australian citizens are often well-positioned through the E-3, which has no lottery and allows unlimited two-year renewals. Singaporean nationals may qualify for the H-1B1, which similarly avoids the annual H-1B cap.
What qualifications does Amazon look for in Business Development candidates?
Amazon's Business Development roles typically require a bachelor's degree in business, economics, engineering, or a related field, plus several years of experience in partnerships, corporate development, or strategic sales within technology or software. Strong preference goes to candidates who've managed complex deal cycles, cross-functional stakeholders, and commercial negotiations. MBA credentials are common but not universally required across all seniority levels.
How do I plan my timeline if I need visa sponsorship for an Amazon Business Development role?
If you're relying on H-1B sponsorship, work backward from October 1, when new H-1B status begins. USCIS registration opens in March, so you'd need an offer confirmed by late February at the latest. E-3 and H-1B1 candidates have more flexibility since those visas aren't cap-subject, but DOL's LCA certification still adds two to four weeks after your offer before Amazon can file the petition.
