You will own a book of ~120-150 customers and be responsible for retaining their revenue, driving full platform adoption, and identifying opportunities to expand their Brex usage.

• Deeply understand each customer’s workflows, accounting processes, and financial priorities to uncover pain points and steer stakeholder dynamics to influence full adoption
• Build relationships across multiple levels of stakeholders (from controller up to CFO) across the finance team, tailoring your communication and value framing to each audience and flagging risks or opportunities early with a recommended plan of action
• Work cross-functionally with Risk, Underwriting, Legal, and Deal Desk to ensure we are balancing customer needs with revenue impact
• Bring operational excellence through strong documentation, proactive communication, and project management. Keep customers and internal teams aligned on progress, blockers, and next steps via forecasting, CRM hygiene, activity tracking, and deal qualification.
• Lead quarterly business reviews to translate insights and data into recommendations that help customers maximize their ROI from Brex
• Advocate for customers internally by surfacing themes and insights that influence product direction and improve customer experience

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in customer-facing roles managing a book of business, owning account health, executive relationships, renewals, and expansion strategy
• Fluency in the language of modern finance, demonstrated through hands-on experience with the ecosystem of financial technology - including ERPs, spend management platforms, or AP automation tools
• Experience and comfort interacting with a high volume of customers at different stages of the customer lifecycle
• Strong business acumen with a finance-first mindset and comfortable speaking the language of CFOs, Controllers, and FP&A teams
• Ability to analyze product usage data and detect important insights and trends.
