Plaid is looking for a Channel Business Development & Enablement Manager to help power growth through our partner ecosystem. In this role, you'll sit at the intersection of sales, marketing, and partnerships — working closely with partner GTM teams to drive pipeline, equip them with the tools and content they need to win, and ensure Plaid is the go-to choice for every relevant opportunity in a partner's book of business. You'll work in close partnership with senior members of the Partnerships and Sales teams, taking ownership of key workstreams while developing the skills to grow into a broader strategic partnerships sales or account management role over time.
Responsibilities
- Sales Enablement. Equip partner GTM teams with the training, content, and tools they need to effectively pitch and sell Plaid — including onboarding, ongoing education, and a library of sales assets like pitch decks and battle cards
- Pipeline Development. Collaborate with partner sales teams to drive pipeline growth through targeted campaigns, outbound strategies, and co-selling support, while maintaining visibility into partner-sourced and influenced opportunities
- Channel Management. Serve as the connective tissue between Plaid and its partner ecosystem — minimizing channel conflict, facilitating communication, and ensuring deal velocity is maintained across all partner relationships
- Strategic Insights & Feedback. Act as the voice of the partner internally, surfacing patterns in objections, competitive dynamics, and product gaps to key stakeholders across Product, Marketing, and GTM teams
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 4 years of experience in inside sales, SDR/BDR, partnerships, sales enablement, or a related GTM role — fintech or financial services experience is a plus
- Early track record of contributing to pipeline or revenue in a team-oriented sales environment
- Strong written communication skills with an ability to translate product and technical concepts into clear, compelling narratives for sales audiences
- Organized and detail-oriented — comfortable managing multiple workstreams, maintaining CRM hygiene, and producing accurate pipeline reports
- Comfortable facilitating training sessions or enablement presentations in front of partner teams
- Collaborative and eager to learn — comfortable supporting senior teammates while also taking ownership of defined work independently
- Familiarity with the open banking, financial data, or payments ecosystem is a plus, but not required
- Working knowledge of APIs or a curiosity to understand how Plaid works under the hood
COMPENSATION
- Salary Range: $153,600 - $182,400 a year
The on-target earnings (OTE) for this position ranges from $153,600/year to $182,400/year in New York.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Business Development Manager Jobs at Plaid Jobs
Frame your BD credentials around fintech partnerships
Plaid evaluates BD candidates on experience closing deals with banks, fintechs, or enterprise software buyers. Document specific partnerships you've built or revenue you've influenced in financial services, not just general sales metrics, before applying.
Confirm your visa type before reaching out
Plaid sponsors multiple visa categories, but not every pathway fits every timeline. If you're on F-1 OPT, know your STEM extension eligibility and cap-out date before your first recruiter call so you can answer confidently.
Target Plaid's fintech and bank partnership teams
Plaid's BD hiring concentrates around financial institution integrations and developer ecosystem growth. Applying to roles explicitly tied to these verticals signals alignment with their actual pipeline, not just generic business development.
Understand how H-1B timing affects your offer window
If your role requires an H-1B cap-subject petition, USCIS's April 1 filing date and October 1 start date affect when you can begin working. Clarify with Plaid's recruiting team whether they'll pursue premium processing to reduce the wait.
Use Migrate Mate to find active BD openings at Plaid
BD roles at Plaid open and close quickly as the company scales into new verticals. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for Plaid's sponsorship-eligible Business Development Manager positions so you're applying to roles where sponsorship is confirmed.
Request clarity on PERM timing during offer negotiation
If you're targeting long-term work authorization through an EB-2 or EB-3 Green Card, ask Plaid's immigration team when PERM labor certification typically initiates after hire. Early PERM filing preserves your priority date, which matters significantly if you're from India or China.

Find Business Development Manager at Plaid JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Plaid sponsor H-1B visas for Business Development Managers?
Yes, Plaid sponsors H-1B visas for Business Development Manager roles. BD positions at Plaid typically qualify as specialty occupations because they require a bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant field such as business, finance, or computer science. If you're already on an H-1B with another employer, Plaid can file an H-1B transfer, letting you start work as soon as USCIS receives the petition.
How do I apply for Business Development Manager jobs at Plaid?
Applications go through Plaid's careers portal, where BD roles are listed by team and region. Tailor your resume to emphasize API product knowledge, financial institution partnerships, and measurable deal outcomes. Migrate Mate also surfaces Plaid's open Business Development Manager positions filtered by visa sponsorship eligibility, which helps you confirm sponsorship availability before applying.
Which visa types does Plaid commonly use for Business Development Manager roles?
Plaid sponsors H-1B visas most commonly for this function, along with TN visas for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying BD roles. F-1 OPT and CPT are supported for candidates in active degree programs or within their post-completion work authorization window. For longer-term pathways, Plaid has pursued EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship for BD hires through PERM labor certification.
What qualifications does Plaid expect for sponsored Business Development Manager candidates?
Plaid's BD roles typically require a bachelor's degree in business, finance, economics, or a technical field, paired with experience in SaaS, fintech, or financial data sales. Familiarity with API products, developer ecosystems, or bank partnership structures is a practical differentiator. Demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder deals carries more weight than years of experience alone.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take when joining Plaid as a Business Development Manager?
Timeline depends on your current status. An H-1B transfer from another employer can be filed and work can begin within two to three weeks of USCIS receiving the petition. A new H-1B cap-subject petition requires registration in the April lottery with an October 1 start date. TN status for Canadian citizens can be obtained at the border on the same day as your start date, with no USCIS processing required.
