Finance at Brex

The Finance team leads financial planning and analysis as well as corporate development, which includes board communications, investor relations, fundraising, and M&A.

Through our corporate development efforts, we are also deeply involved in long-term planning and major strategic decisions for the company.

What You’ll Do

We are currently searching for an exceptional Director to join our GTM Finance team and build the Marketing Finance function from the ground up, while partnering with our Executive team to maximize ROI from our GTM investments.

In this role, you will work closely with our CMO and CRO to shape and execute on our financial strategy for our Marketing team, and translate this to success for the Sales team. You will support these leaders by developing and implementing data-driven and high-impact initiatives aimed at driving growth, improving efficiency, and increasing profitability, while serving as a connective tissue within the business.

You will own pipeline forecasts and goals – including quotas – and create frameworks for evaluating customer acquisition efficiency. You will bring both the financial and commercial point of view, and need to embrace challenges and structure complex problems. This role will involve high exposure to Executive Leadership, as you will regularly deliver analysis and recommendations directly to the Leadership team and participate in the narrative and analysis for the Board of Directors and other investors.

The GTM Finance Team Sits Within The Strategic Finance Team At Brex, And Our Team Excels In The Below Skill Sets

• Cross-functional alignment: We work on complex problems that cut across Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Product Marketing, Ops, CX, and more. This requires the ability to generate buy-in from a wide set of stakeholders on key initiatives.
• Business intelligence: We are a data-driven organization that always provides data to support our decision-making. When data is not available, we find it in market and competitive research. We effectively convey complex financial information to various stakeholders in order to influence decisions.
• Problem solving: We lead with solutions by defining an ambiguous problem, processing information, applying decision-making skills and creativity, and generating buy-in around the solution. This requires the ability to not only track and improve key metrics, but define what those key metrics are.
  
  

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of success in financial management, coupled with exceptional communication and collaboration skills. This is an exciting opportunity to join our dynamic team and make a meaningful impact on our business.
