We’re looking for an outstanding business lawyer to join the NVIDIA legal team as Senior Counsel, Business Partnerships & Strategic Transactions. You’ll support NVIDIA’s strategic and consequential business relationships by structuring, negotiating, and closing the agreements behind the accelerated computing and AI infrastructure that power our products. You’ll partner closely with business leaders, fellow attorneys, and outside counsel on a diverse workstream that evolves with the company.
What you'll be doing:
- Draft, review, and negotiate business partnership and commercial agreements across NVIDIA’s global business: hardware, software licensing, reseller, distributor, partner programs, marketing, and government contracts.
- Collaborate with the business teams through complex deal cycles with sophisticated enterprise, cloud, public sector, and highly regulated customers, and among a diverse spectrum of industries and verticals.
- Build scalable legal infrastructure: playbooks, templates, and tools that enable business teams to move fast without sacrificing rigor.
- Assist with novel and technically complex transactions, translating cross-cutting legal issues into clear risk assessments that advance NVIDIA’s mission and goals.
What we need to see:
- 10+ years of legal experience supporting commercial contracting and customer engagements, in-house, at a law firm, or both.
- Exceptional drafting and negotiation skills with experience handling hardware, software licensing, and public sector transactions.
- Track record of running point on high-value, non-standard transactions end-to-end, collaborating with internal stakeholders and keeping deals moving on demanding timelines while exercising sound judgment and seeking help when needed.
- Recognized as a trusted advisor to business leaders, known for turning complex legal issues into clear, practical risk guidance.
- Juris Doctor from an accredited US law school; admitted to the bar and in good standing in the jurisdiction of hire, or otherwise authorized to practice law (e.g., registered in-house status).
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- Energized to support deals that span practice areas and shift with NVIDIA’s business.
- Equally ready to support routine agreements as to lead first-of-its-kind deals and willing to pick up whatever the business needs.
- Background or genuine interest in government and public sector commercial work, including government procurement requirements and regulated-industry customers.
- Systems thinker who goes beyond the deal in front of them to build or improve the process for next time.
- Curious and low-ego: you ask questions, seek help from others, learn the technology and the business, and know the best answer can come from anyone and a self-starter who manages priorities with minimal direction and collaborates easily across functions and disciplines.
NVIDIA is one of the technology world’s most desirable employers! We have some of the most innovative and hardworking people in the world working for us, and if you're creative and collaborative, we want to hear from you!
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 232,000 USD - 368,000 USD. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Partnerships Associate
Frame your credentials around Management Consultant
TN visa eligibility for Partnerships Associates hinges on qualifying under the Management Consultant category. Pull together documentation showing you analyze business problems, develop partnership strategies, and deliver recommendations, not just execute tasks.
Target companies with active partnership ecosystems
SaaS platforms, fintech firms, and enterprise software companies run structured partner programs that generate recurring sponsorship needs. Search for roles titled Partner Development, Channel Partnerships, or Strategic Alliances, these signal an established function, not a one-off hire.
Use Migrate Mate to find TN-eligible roles
Not every Partnerships Associate posting is open to TN candidates. Migrate Mate filters roles by recent visa filings so you're applying to employers experienced with visa sponsorship, not guessing from job description language. For Canadian applicants, once you secure an offer, your employer will prepare a support letter you present at the U.S. port of entry. Mexican nationals apply through a U.S. consulate with the same documentation. Either way, the process is straightforward—no government labor certification required.
Prepare a support letter that maps duties to TN criteria
CBP officers adjudicate TN petitions at the border based on a support letter from your employer. The letter must connect your Partnerships Associate duties to the Management Consultant definition, vague job descriptions are the leading cause of TN denials at ports of entry.
Understand how Mexican nationals navigate the consular process
Mexican citizens cannot apply for TN status at the border like Canadians. You'll schedule a consular interview at a U.S. embassy in Mexico, which adds lead time to your start date. Factor in consular appointment availability when negotiating your offer timeline.
Partnerships Associate TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Partnerships Associate role qualify for TN visa sponsorship?
Yes, if the role is structured around consulting, strategic analysis, or business development advisory functions. The TN visa classifies Partnerships Associates under the Management Consultant category. The key is that your duties must involve identifying problems, analyzing partnership opportunities, and delivering recommendations, not purely sales execution or account management.
How does TN visa sponsorship compare to H-1B for this role?
TN has no annual lottery, no cap for Canadians, and can be processed at a port of entry in a single day for Canadian citizens. H-1B requires a USCIS petition, takes months to adjudicate, and is subject to an annual lottery with no guarantee of selection. For Partnerships Associate roles, TN is a faster and more predictable path if you're a Canadian or Mexican citizen and the role qualifies under Management Consultant.
What documents does my employer need to provide for TN sponsorship?
Your employer needs to produce a support letter on company letterhead that outlines your job title, duties, qualifications, length of employment, and how the role fits the Management Consultant TN category. For Canadian applicants, this letter goes directly to a CBP officer at the port of entry. Mexican nationals submit it as part of their consular application package.
Where can I find Partnerships Associate jobs that sponsor TN visas?
Most general job boards don't indicate whether a role is open to TN visa candidates. Migrate Mate is built specifically for this, it surfaces Partnerships Associate and related roles from employers with verified TN and work visa sponsorship history, so you're not spending time on applications that will hit a dead end at the offer stage.
Can I switch employers on a TN visa if I find a better Partnerships Associate role?
Yes. TN status is employer-specific, so changing employers requires a new TN authorization tied to the new company. Canadian citizens can obtain new TN status at a port of entry when starting with the new employer. Mexican nationals need to return to a U.S. consulate. There's no grace period for gaps between employers, so timing your transition matters.
