The Marketing team tells the Brex story — turning product innovation into customer obsession.

Brex is seeking a strategic, data-driven Growth Marketing Lead, Programmatic & Video to shape how we invest across programmatic display, YouTube, CTV, online video, audio, and emerging channels.

You'll own a high-impact media portfolio spanning Brand and Growth, with the opportunity to define how these programs work together, prove their incremental impact, and identify where Brex should invest next. You'll combine deep programmatic expertise with strong measurement, audience, and experimentation instincts to turn media insights into smarter investment decisions and scalable growth. Critically, you know how to build brand through a performance lens, connecting upper-funnel investments to near-term impact and long-term value creation.

This role will be based in our San Francisco 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. Team members are expected to work in-office three days per week (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays). Brex also offers the flexibility to work remotely for up to four weeks per year, in one-week increments.

• Partner cross-functionally with Brand, PMM, and Design to translate campaign objectives and performance insights into media strategy, creative requirements, testing plans, and actionable learnings.
• Shape the future of the portfolio by identifying emerging channels, technologies, and AI-enabled opportunities and bringing clear recommendations into quarterly and annual planning.
• Build scalable governance and operating standards across programmatic media, including QA, risk controls, and documentation.

• 7+ years of hands-on experience in growth or performance marketing, with deep expertise in programmatic media and video/CTV advertising.
• Demonstrated experience owning a multi-channel media portfolio and significant budgets, including investment planning, forecasting, optimization, and scaling decisions.
• Deep knowledge of the programmatic ecosystem and major DSPs (e.g., DV360, The Trade Desk, or similar), including bidding, inventory, audience strategy, brand safety, and vendor management.
• Strong understanding of full-funnel B2B marketing and experience connecting awareness and consideration investments to downstream business outcomes.
• Advanced fluency in measurement, attribution, and incrementality, including experimentation design, lift studies, holdouts/geo tests.
• Demonstrated ability to build audience architectures using first-party, contextual, intent, modeled, and third-party data.
• Strong creative judgment and experience partnering with Brand and Creative teams on video, display, and performance creative strategy and testing.
• Excellent communicator with demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders, lead complex cross-functional initiatives and mentor other marketers.
• Highly autonomous, strategic, and comfortable building new capabilities and operating models in a fast-moving environment.

• Experience in fin-tech marketing or marketing to finance professionals.
• Familiarity with product-led growth or hybrid demand models.
• Experience evolving media operating models and building greater in-house programmatic, video, or CTV capabilities.
