Job Description

Strategic Partnerships Manager – AI/API

Mercury

• Hunt and close new partnerships • Proactively identify, target, and close high-leverage partnerships across the AI and developer ecosystem: AI coding assistants, agent frameworks, MCP-native tooling, and developer communities • Own the full partnership lifecycle: from sourcing and outreach through negotiation, integration scoping, and activation • Build Mercury's presence in developer communities, attending and speaking at conferences, engaging in online communities, and becoming a known, credible voice in the AI/developer ecosystem. • Build the playbook • Define and execute Mercury's go-to-market strategy for the AI and developer ecosystem, this is a category Mercury is still early in, so you'll have real ownership over how we show up • Develop joint GTM plans with key partners, including co-marketing, co-sell motions, and integration launch strategies • Feed insights from the developer ecosystem back into Mercury's roadmap and partnership strategy • Navigate the AI ecosystem • Build Mercury's presence as a financial infrastructure partner in the AI-native landscape: MCP integrations, AI platforms, developer tools, and the growing universe of products being built on LLMs • Position Mercury as the default financial layer for AI-native businesses and the platforms they're built on • Identify where the next wave of distribution is forming before competitors do and place Mercury there.

Job Requirements

  • You have a technical foundation.
  • You understand how APIs work, can evaluate integration complexity, and speak credibly with engineers and CTOs, not as a builder, but as someone who deeply understands how things are built.
  • You're a hunter.
  • You don't wait for warm intros or inbound. You identify who Mercury should be talking to, find your way into the room, and drive toward a deal. You have a track record of sourcing and closing partnerships, not just managing existing ones.
  • You're embedded in the developer world.
  • You know the AI and developer ecosystem, the platforms, the communities, the influencers, the emerging tools. Developers and technical founders see you as one of them, not as a vendor.
  • You think commercially.
  • You understand what makes a partnership valuable, can structure deals, and push conversations from "interesting" to signed.
  • You're a strong communicator.
  • You can present at a developer conference, write a compelling technical post, and hold your own in a product meeting, often in the same week.
  • You're entrepreneurial.
  • You're excited to work with early-stage founders and AI teams who are still figuring out what they're building. You add value before asking for anything.
  • Nice to have: experience in fintech, developer-facing partnerships, Developer Relations, or solutions engineering at an API-first company.
