Private Equity Associate

The primary focus of the Partnerships team at Brex is to drive new revenue. We originate, launch, and scale partnerships across emerging distribution channels, embedded models, and other strategic bets that accelerate Brex's growth trajectory.

As Brex nears $1B in revenue, we are building a best-in-class Partnerships organization grounded in clear priorities and disciplined execution. Every member of our team directly contributes to top-line growth by expanding Brex's reach across key ecosystems, from technology platforms to financial sponsors and investment firms who influence large customer networks.

Within Business Development, the Private Equity Channel team is responsible for building partnerships with PE firms to drive new customer growth, generate pipeline, and increase engagement and monetization of existing customers. 

Over the past 12 months, Brex's PE channel hit an inflection point, turning Tier 1 private equity firms into active referral sources for their portfolio companies due to demonstrable ROI. That model was proven through consistent in-market presence: dinners, conferences, events, and the trust that compounds across repeated value-added touchpoints.

In this role, you will support Brex’s Private Equity channel across two core workstreams: business development and value creation. You will build targeted outbound campaigns that generate top-of-funnel meetings and qualified pipeline, while helping prepare for and follow up on partner conversations through data analysis, case studies, and portfolio company insights. Working closely with the Private Equity lead, Account Executives, Customer Success Managers, and data partners, you will build the skills to manage your own book of PE partners over time. You may attend select industry events for exposure, but event planning and ownership are not core responsibilities.
