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 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.

• Proactively identify and source net-new partners while expanding existing partner relationships through end-to-end execution (sourcing, business case creation, legal contracting, product integration, and early customer activation)
• Develop strategies for partner acquisition and expansion, identifying new verticals, market segments, and GTM pathways to support Brex’s “bend the curve” growth goals
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Legal, Finance, Sales, and Marketing teams to launch complex integrations and activate early usage
• Navigate ambiguity, distill complexity into actionable decisions, and take initiative in new, undefined opportunity areas
• Transition-activated partnerships to scaled go-to-market execution and performance tracking in collaboration with AE teams
• Support Brex’s growth into strategic customer segments through targeted partnerships instead of fixed vertical ownership
• Operate like a founder with ownership across strategy, documentation, integration execution, and driving impact

• 8+ years of experience in strategic partnerships, product partnerships, or enterprise sales in B2B industry, preferably at a high-growth startup
• Proven track record of revenue responsibility, exceeding quota targets and achieving strategic objectives
• Proven ownership of the full engagement lifecycle from discovery, scoping, pricing, contracting, and delivery with accountability of results
• High energy and creativity, with a passion for building relationships and thriving in hands-on, self-starter environments
• Comfortable managing multiple work streams in a fast-paced, constantly evolving environment while maintaining clarity and focus
• Business acumen spanning the range from strategic mindset (view of market dynamics, partner value propositions, strategic negotiations) to tactical initiatives to build the business
• Self-starter with a drive to win by serving customers and growing revenue
• Up to 25% travel required

• Ex-Founder experience or hybrid backgrounds combining strategy, product, and GTM
• Fintech or embedded finance experience
• Experience integrating financial products into SaaS or workflow platforms
• Background in management consulting with operating experience in startups
