Business Development (“BD”) at Brex
The primary focus of the BD team is to drive growth of Brex’s Embedded Finance platform. We are Brex’s Zero to One team, responsible for originating, launching, and scaling partnerships that drive nonlinear corporate card spend. This can include new vertical and market exploration, embedded distribution models, and other strategic bets. We are responsible for strategy, sourcing, negotiation and cross-functional leadership throughout the partner lifecycle.
Every member of our team directly impacts our bottom line as we work closely with infrastructure and application partners (Coupa, Navan, Zip, Tekion, etc.) to drive non-linear growth in revenue. In the past twelve months, our BD business has experienced immense growth, with 5x YoY increase in volume through our partners. This growth underscores the significant potential of embedded payments and highlights our technology’s growing appeal, making platforms the fastest-growth pillar within Brex.
As a BD Director you will help generate revenue for Brex by developing a pipeline of partners and then executing on a go-to-market strategy for several anchor partners to drive card volume. You will combine prior experience in product partnerships/channel sales with the unique technology, partnerships and market opportunity at Brex. Some of our engagement models include embedded card integrations, reseller motions, and co-sell relationships. You will be deeply integrated with Product/Engineering, Sales, Product Marketing, Legal and other teams.
This is a full-stack, individual contributor BD role - you will lead the entire partnership lifecycle from sourcing and contracting through to product integration and activation of the first 50 customers. You’ll collaborate cross-functionally to structure bespoke embedded payment solutions, develop joint go-to-market plans, and ensure Brex’s platform is deeply embedded in our partners’ workflows.
This role is ideal for an ex-founder or high-agency operator with both product and go-to-market instincts, who thrives in ambiguity and wants to build something zero to one.
