Banking Operations at Brex
Operations is the backbone of Brex's mission to power businesses through our Intelligent Finance Platform. We own credit, fraud, money movement, and payments, protecting our customers and our company. From product operations that ensure flawless launches to scalable systems that drive innovation and precision, we operate at the intersection of product, design, engineering, and customer success. If you want to work at the heart of the business, Operations is where you belong.

What you'll do

As a Manager, Banking Operations at Brex, you'll lead a team at the center of how money moves through the platform. You'll coach analysts, strengthen judgment and documentation standards, and build the operating rhythms that keep a high-stakes monitoring function accurate, resilient, and ready to scale. Operations sits at the heart of Brex, owning money movement and partnering across product, engineering, compliance, and customer-facing teams to deliver with speed and precision.

In this role, you'll oversee payment monitoring across Fedwire, SWIFT, ACH, checks, and stablecoins, guiding your team through exceptions, escalations, and complex decisions in real time. You'll shape people, process, and technology: developing talent, improving onboarding, strengthening controls, and turning frontline insight into better workflows. If you're excited by leading great people, solving hard operational problems, and building systems that help Brex move faster without compromising quality or compliance, this is a high-impact role with real room to shape how Banking Operations scales.

• Practical fluency with AI tools such as Claude, Hex, Granola, and Glean, with a strong point of view on where AI can improve team effectiveness, decision quality, and operational scale in a control-heavy environment.
• Strong judgment, including the ability to assess risk, make sound escalation decisions, and maintain clear, audit-ready documentation.
• Experience partnering cross-functionally with teams such as Compliance, Legal, Product, Engineering, Treasury, Finance, or external banking partners to resolve issues and improve processes.
