We’re committed to building a diverse team and inclusive culture and believe your potential should only be limited by how big you can dream. We make this a reality by empowering you with the tools, resources, and support you need to grow your career.

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.

Where you’ll work

This role will be based in our Salt Lake City 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!

Responsibilities

• Lead a team of Banking Operations analysts by setting priorities, coaching performance, and building a high‑accountability culture grounded in sound judgment, accuracy, and strong documentation standards.
• Oversee payment monitoring across Fedwire, SWIFT, ACH, checks, and stablecoins, ensuring alerts, exceptions, and escalations are reviewed on time and resolved with clear, risk‑based decisions.
• Build scalable operating frameworks for onboarding, quality assurance, escalation management, and coverage planning that improve consistency as the team and business grow.
• Advance Brex’s AI‑native goals by identifying high‑impact use cases, driving thoughtful AI adoption across the team, and partnering on tools and workflows that improve speed, quality, and control.
• Partner closely with Compliance, Legal, Product, Engineering, and external banking partners to strengthen controls, resolve issues quickly, and support operational readiness for new workflows and product changes.
• Drive continuous improvement by identifying root causes, refining procedures, and advancing automation that increases throughput without compromising control quality.
• Translate frontline insights into clear reporting and actionable recommendations for leadership, surfacing trends, risks, and process gaps that matter to the broader Bank.
