## About the role

Mercury is looking for a technically-fluent partnerships leader to own our presence in the AI and developer ecosystem. This isn't a traditional BD role and it's not a Developer Relationships role either, it lives at the intersection of both.

## What they're looking for

- 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
