We lead planning, forecasting, capital allocation, and ROI analysis — partnering across the business to drive clarity and unlock opportunity. We partner across teams at Brex to ensure our business is building and planning with the same dream big goals throughout our entire organization. We’re not here to report on outcomes; we shape them. If you want to influence company direction and think long-term about value creation, this is where your ownership starts. Cross-functional alignment: We work on complex problems that cut across Engineering, Product, Design, Sales, Marketing, Revenue Operations, 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 convey complex financial information to varied stakeholders in order to influence decisions. Problem solving: We lead with solutions by defining an ambiguous problem, processing information, applying judgment and creativity, and generating buy-in around the answer. This requires the ability to not only track and improve key metrics, but to define what those key metrics should be. Building, not just advising: We ship the models, tooling, and automation that the frameworks depend on, and we own their accuracy. Where you’ll work This role will be based in our Vancouver office. We are a hybrid environment that combines the energy and connections of being in the office with the benefits and flexibility of working from home. We currently require a minimum of three coordinated days in the office per week Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. As a perk, we also have up to four weeks per year of fully remote work! What You’ll Do We are building out the Strategic Finance team and looking for someone to join the function and partner with leadership to maximize ROI from our investments. In this role, you will own the frameworks Brex uses to underwrite and measure return on investment across the business. You will translate roadmap proposals, GTM investments, headcount requests, and pricing changes into expected return, payback, and opportunity cost, so that business partners and Finance underwrite decisions off the same set of numbers. You will work with leaders across the company, and you will close the loop after the fact, measuring realized return against what was originally underwritten. You will bring both the financial and the commercial point of view, and need to embrace challenges and structure complex problems. This role carries high exposure to Executive Leadership, as you will regularly deliver analysis and recommendations directly to the Leadership team.
