Job Description
## About Mistral
Mistral provides full-stack AI solutions: from frontier models to developer tools, applications, and compute. We partner with enterprises tackling the hardest problems—across high-stakes industries like finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector—co-creating customized AI systems that they can run on their terms.
We are a dynamic, collaborative team passionate about AI and its potential to transform society. Our diverse workforce thrives in competitive environments and is committed to driving innovation. Our teams are distributed between Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. We are creative, low-ego and team-spirited.
The Role
As our VP of Global Developer Relations, you’ll be the voice and facilitator of Mistral to the developer, scientific, and technical communities. You’ll build and scale a global DevRel strategy that fosters deep engagement, advocacy, and love for Mistral’s models and technology. Your team will build communities and educate, excite, and empower developers to adopt, innovate, and evangelize Mistral’s technology—whether they’re startups, enterprises, researchers, or open-source contributors.
You’ll work closely with Product, Research, Engineering, Marketing, Communications, and more to ensure developers have the tools, resources, and inspiration they need to succeed with Mistral.

- Work with Product and Research teams to translate complex AI innovations into accessible, exciting, and actionable insights for developers.
Enable Developer Success, particularly for self-service adoption
- Build scalable enablement programs (e.g., onboarding guides, SDKs, APIs, sample projects) that reduce friction for developers adopting Mistral’s models.
- Create feedback loops between the developer community and Mistral’s Product/Engineering teams to shape the roadmap based on real-world needs.
