Partnerships at Brex The primary focus of the Partnerships team at Brex is to drive net new realized 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 on the East Coast through consistent in-market presence: dinners, conferences, events, and the trust that compounds across repeated value-added touchpoints. The West Coast is the next unlock. San Francisco and Los Angeles hold a dense concentration of Tier 1 sponsors and their portfolio companies. We're hiring a Partner Manager to own that book end-to-end to represent Brex across the West Coast PE ecosystem.
