Legal at Brex

The Legal team helps the company grow responsibly, advocating for Brex and for the thousands of growing businesses we serve. We provide strategic advice and guidance to all Brex teams, protect Brex, advise on risk, and represent the company externally, negotiating with partners and interacting with regulators. Reimagining the financial system in a highly regulated environment requires creativity and resourcefulness, and we welcome the challenge.

What you'll do

You will help us grow and scale Brex by serving as the dedicated legal partner to our marketing organization, reviewing and advising on marketing collateral across all Brex products—corporate card, banking, expense management, bill pay, travel, and beyond. You'll be a subject matter expert on advertising, marketing, and UDAP/UDAAP regulations, providing strategic advice on risk and regulatory ambiguity as campaigns move from concept to launch. Embedded with marketing, product, and go-to-market teams, you'll partner from the earliest creative stages through release—reviewing claims, disclosures, and messaging, and translating complex regulatory requirements into practical, on-brand guidance that helps teams move fast and stay compliant. You'll also collaborate closely with cross-functional partners (including product, compliance, partnerships, sales, and design) to find creative solutions to business problems. You know how to break a project down into first principles and see it from ideation to launch, and you understand when to solve a problem in-house versus when to strategically and cost-effectively deploy outside counsel.

Where you’ll work

This role will be based in our Seattle 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!

• Entrepreneurial mindset and ability to work in a fast-paced environment
