About The Team
The Strategic Alliances team is small, fast, and outcome-oriented - not a program or account mapping factory. We spearhead the identification, investigation, development and execution of initiatives & partnerships aimed at moving the needle for some of Mixpanel’s most strategic levers. As Mixpanel continues its evolution, this team is at the forefront of defining our new ecosystem realities and opportunities, particularly within the emerging spaces in, and enabled by, AI. LLM’s, Vibecoders and MCP Servers and their adjacencies are our workspace.
About The Role
This is the number two on the Alliances team. You'll own a portfolio of partner opportunities and sourcing of structural deals — embedded distribution, revenue share, API embedding, committed co-sell — with the companies defining how AI-native software gets built and distributed (think Snowflake, Stripe, Anthropic, Google, Glean and Replit) and target new relationships, owning first conversation through execution. You’ll also provide due diligence support for in-flight opportunities. You need to be comfortable with ambiguity and have the ability to translate company priorities into a set of actionable and achievable partnerships. You will work closely with stakeholders and senior leadership across Product & Engineering, Marketing, Channel and Sales teams to ensure tight alignment and smooth execution - to be successful, you will need a track record of this collaboration with quantifiable outcomes.
Responsibilities
- End-to-end ownership of a set of strategic partnerships with LLMs, Hyperscalers, AI developer tools, data platforms and niche providers who can fill product gaps.
- Market analysis and due diligence, with emphasis on quantitative support for new partnerships and market entries.
- Deal structuring and negotiation: term sheets, rev share, data licensing, API embedding, pipeline and revenue commitments.
- Expand and elevate Mixpanel exposure within our newest strategic partners; driving alignment up to, and including, C-level relationships.
- Work closely with Channel & Enablement teams seamless handoffs, as needed, around GTM execution: co-sell motions, joint pipeline, co-marketing in service of revenue or branding.
- Inbound partner management — screen fast, route correctly, don't let it become a distraction.
- Own the room with cross-functional stakeholders including Product, Engineering, Sales, and Legal to close and activate partnerships.
- Design and execute unique playbooks with partners with aligned, committed outcomes; not a rinse and repeat of collateral creation, account mapping and team socialization.
- Collaborate with marketing & demand gen teams to launch partnerships and campaigns designed to spread awareness and drive pipeline.
- Define and evangelize the value proposition with partners; what are we doing together, why and who should care; Product Marketing is there for support, but this is yours to own.
We’re Looking for Someone with
- 8+ years of professional experience with minimum of 5+ in strategic technology partnerships, alliances, or corp dev; ideally at a hyperscaler, high-growth SaaS, or with a consulting/banking background before going operator.
- Track record of having closed deals with real structure: you've negotiated terms, not just managed relationships.
- Fluency in the modern data stack (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Supabase) and the AI developer ecosystem (LLM platforms, agentics frameworks, vibe-coding tools, MCP Servers).
- Technically fluent enough to hold a credible conversation with a CPO or platform team; commercial enough to close; your job is not to set meetings.
- Innate sense of urgency and prioritization; fast qualification, clear POV, no committee thinking.
- Exceptional communication skills; creates executive-level deliverables that are outcome-first, data-backed, decision-ready.
- Hands-on experience with AI; you’ve moved beyond chat interfaces and built something, shipped something, or broken something trying. You understand what developers actually experience when they evaluate a platform, and you can hold a credible technical conversation because of it, not despite your role.
- Ability to operate and create structure within ambiguity; our scope of impact is broad and strategic - you need to be able to translate company goals into executable initiatives and be able to clearly articulate that connection; you won’t have a quota and systems to execute against.
- Exceptional cross-functional leadership and the ability to command the room and drive alignment across Product, Engineering, Sales/GTM, Legal, and Channel organizations.
- Strong executive presence, negotiation capability, and comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
Bonus Points For
- MBA or other advanced business degree, JD or engineering degree.
- Previous experience in management or strategy consulting.
- Experience partnering with Snowflake, Databricks or GCP, Anthropic and others across the AI space.
- Hands-on experience with Mixpanel; able to connect the dots on partner opportunities.
- Sold or partnered in a product-led growth context.
- Built or shipped an integration — you know what it actually takes.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Partner Development Manager
Target enterprise tech and SaaS employers
Companies like Salesforce, Microsoft, and AWS sponsor Partner Development Managers at high rates. Enterprise software firms with established channel programs are far more likely to have H-1B sponsorship infrastructure already in place.
Emphasize your degree field alignment
USCIS specialty occupation approval depends on your degree matching the role. Business, marketing, international relations, or economics degrees strengthen your petition. A mismatch between your degree field and job duties is a common denial trigger.
Quantify your partner ecosystem impact
Sponsoring employers need to justify the H-1B petition. Revenue influenced through partner channels, number of partnerships managed, and measurable pipeline contributions give your employer concrete evidence for the specialty occupation requirement.
Understand the LCA wage requirement before accepting
Your employer must file a Labor Condition Application certifying your role meets prevailing wage levels for the job location. Confirm the offered compensation meets that threshold early, since the LCA must be certified before your visa petition is filed.
Australians should ask about the E-3 visa
Australian citizens qualify for the E-3 visa, which has no lottery and can be filed year-round. For a Partner Development Manager role, E-3 is faster and more predictable than H-1B, and many employers who hesitate on H-1B will sponsor E-3.
Document strategic and analytical responsibilities clearly
Generic partnership roles can face scrutiny from USCIS. Your job description should reflect strategic analysis, market planning, and cross-functional collaboration that requires specialized degree-level knowledge, not just relationship management tasks alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Partner Development Manager role qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Yes, in most cases. USCIS evaluates whether the role qualifies as a specialty occupation, meaning it normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Partner Development Manager positions at tech companies typically meet that standard when the job duties involve strategic planning, market analysis, or ecosystem development requiring specialized business or marketing knowledge. Roles framed purely as relationship management with no degree requirement are harder to approve.
Which visa types are Partner Development Managers most commonly sponsored for?
H-1B visa is the most common pathway for international candidates in this role. Australian citizens have access to the E-3 visa, which is faster to obtain and has no lottery. Canadians and Mexicans may qualify under the TN visa. Candidates with documented extraordinary achievement in partner ecosystem development sometimes pursue the O-1A. Browse Partner Development Manager roles with active sponsorship on Migrate Mate to see which visa types employers are currently filing.
What degree do I need for an employer to sponsor my H-1B in this role?
A bachelor's degree in business administration, marketing, international business, or a related field is the standard baseline. The degree field needs to align with the job duties your employer describes in the H-1B petition. A general studies or unrelated degree creates a mismatch that USCIS may use to deny the specialty occupation classification. Some employers accept equivalent experience under the three-for-one rule, where three years of relevant work experience substitutes for one year of formal education.
How likely is H-1B approval for a Partner Development Manager?
Approval rates for business and partnerships roles are generally solid when the job description is well-drafted and the degree field aligns. The bigger risk is lottery selection, not denial. In FY2025, USCIS received roughly 442,000 registrations for 85,000 available slots, so selection is uncertain. If selected, approval for a clearly scoped specialty occupation role at an established tech employer is reasonably high, particularly when supported by strong documentation of degree-to-job-duty alignment.
Can I switch employers mid-H-1B as a Partner Development Manager?
Yes. H-1B portability lets you start working for a new employer once they file a new H-1B petition on your behalf, without waiting for approval, as long as you have been in valid H-1B status for at least 180 days. Your new employer files a transfer petition with the same specialty occupation requirements. The role and degree alignment need to hold up for the new position, so a job title change or shift in duties may require a fresh evaluation.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Partner Development Manager jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
