INTRODUCTION
The people at Claris don't just build software - they build the infrastructure layer that makes Apple's AI story real in schools, enterprises, and government organizations. As part of the Enterprise Sales team within the Claris division, you'll work at the intersection of Apple's education and enterprise sales motion and one of the most consequential technology shifts in a generation: the move to AI-ready infrastructure.
Claris' Data Analytics and AI clustering platforms add a compelling component to Apple's strong story around AI, privacy, and security. We open new rooms, introduce new decision-makers, and help organizations understand what AI-ready infrastructure actually looks like in practice.
DESCRIPTION
Work alongside Apple's education and enterprise sales teams in the field - co-selling, co-presenting, and helping qualify strategic accounts across K-12 districts, higher education institutions, enterprises, and government organizations. You will position the Claris' emerging AI tools in the context of each customer's business, infrastructure, and AI ambitions.
Generate, qualify, and develop pipeline across all three Claris AI revenue streams - Pulse Cloud, Pulse On-Prem, and AI cluster licensing - and ensure that the leads you originate and qualify are developed with full context, a clear use case, and a warm relationship already established such that they can be carried to completion or handed off to Inside Sales teams.
Represent Claris at Apple's global Executive Briefing Centers (EBCs) and conferences, delivering or supporting persona-specific demo narratives for incoming customer profiles. Show up at Apple-led one-to-many field events and qualify from the audience.
Help identify and engage organizations with executive AI vision and existing Apple silicon. Keep them engaged through the discovery process.
Convert pipeline generated through association partnerships into qualified accounts. These leads are time-sensitive; follow-up must be fast.
Log every meeting and customer interaction in the Claris CRM.

Verify your degree field matches the role
H-1B1 visa requires specialty occupation status, meaning your degree must relate directly to business development. A business, marketing, or communications degree works. A general arts degree without a business concentration can trigger a consular challenge.
Search LCA filings before applying
Use Migrate Mate to filter employers by H-1B1 visa Labor Condition Application history for Business Development Representative roles. Companies with active LCA filings have already demonstrated willingness and process familiarity for Singapore-national sponsorship.
Target SaaS and enterprise tech employers specifically
Business development roles at SaaS companies are consistently filed under H-1B1 visa because the positions require defined business or sales strategy education. These employers also tend to have in-house immigration teams already familiar with the Singapore bilateral agreement.
Request a certified LCA before signing your offer
Your employer files the LCA with DOL before your consular appointment. Ask for the certified LCA and Form DS-160 instructions early. Delays in LCA certification, which DOL targets at seven business days, are the most common source of appointment scheduling holdups.
Prepare a specialty occupation letter tied to your duties
Consular officers assess whether the specific BDR role qualifies as a specialty occupation. Have your employer draft a detailed duties letter citing the O*NET occupation profile for your position and confirming a bachelor's degree in a related field is a standard hiring requirement.
Renew from inside the U.S. using a border port of entry
H-1B1 visa doesn't allow change of status from inside the U.S. through USCIS. When renewing, you'll return to a Singapore consulate or use a Canadian or Mexican port of entry for re-entry. Plan your renewal timeline so your current H-1B1 validity doesn't lapse mid-sales cycle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Business Development Representative role qualify as a specialty occupation under H-1B1?
Yes, if the employer requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as business, marketing, or communications. The role must genuinely require that specific education to perform the duties. Generic sales roles where any degree is accepted, regardless of field, can fail the specialty occupation test at the consulate.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa compare to H-1B for Business Development Representative jobs?
H-1B1 visa has no lottery and no USCIS petition filing, so your employer skips the annual April registration process entirely. You apply directly at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore with an approved LCA from DOL. The tradeoff is that H-1B1 doesn't allow dual intent, so you can't simultaneously pursue a green card while on H-1B1 status.
How do I find Business Development Representative employers that sponsor H-1B1 Singapore visas?
Migrate Mate filters job listings by employers with verified H-1B1 visa Labor Condition Application filing history, so you're targeting companies that have already navigated the Singapore bilateral visa process. This removes the guesswork of cold-applying to employers unfamiliar with H-1B1 sponsorship requirements.
Can my employer file an H-1B1 LCA if they've only ever sponsored H-1B visas before?
Yes. The DOL LCA process for H-1B1 visa uses the same FLAG system employers use for H-1B visa filings, so the workflow is familiar. The key difference is that after LCA certification, your employer doesn't file a USCIS I-129 petition. You take the certified LCA directly to the consular appointment in Singapore.
What happens to my H-1B1 status if my Business Development Representative role changes significantly?
A material change in your job duties, title, or work location typically requires your employer to file an amended LCA with DOL. If the amended role no longer qualifies as a specialty occupation or the prevailing wage shifts, your H-1B1 visa status could be affected. Confirm any significant promotion or territory change with your employer's immigration contact before it takes effect.
