Reimagining the financial system in a highly regulated environment requires creativity and resourcefulness, and we welcome the challenge. Where you’ll work This role will be based in our New York 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! What you'll do Reporting to the General Counsel, you will lead Brex's Regulatory Affairs function and guide the company's relationships and interactions with its federal and state regulators, including the OCC, the Federal Reserve, FINRA, and state licensing agencies. You will ensure Brex proactively responds to a changing regulatory environment and delivers on its commitments to regulators accurately and on time. This is a role for a strong program manager as much as a regulatory expert. You will run the end-to-end regulatory engagement lifecycle: exam preparation and logistics, fulfillment of supervisory requests, coordination of responses across Legal, Compliance, Risk, and business teams, and disciplined tracking of findings, commitments, and corrective actions through to closure. You will partner closely with Regulatory Affairs, Legal, and Risk counterparts at Capital One to align supervisory strategy and ensure consistent, well-coordinated engagement with regulators across the combined organization. You will also serve as a trusted advisor to senior management, synthesizing trends across the external regulatory landscape and translating them into practical guidance and early awareness of emerging focus areas.
