Legal At Brex

The Legal team helps the company grow responsibly, advocating for Brex and for the thousands of growing businesses we serve. We provide strategic advice and guidance to all Brex teams, protect Brex, advise on risk, and represent the company externally, negotiating with partners and interacting with regulators. 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 Seattle 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 two coordinated days in the office per week, Wednesday and Thursday. Starting February 2, 2026, we will require three days per week in office - Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. As a perk, we also have up to four weeks per year of fully remote work!

What You'll Do

You’re here to identify, assess and mitigate potential legal risks to Brex to drive risk-adjusted business outcomes while protecting Brex. You’ll provide subject matter expertise on litigation/arbitration disputes and regulatory investigations and enforcement actions, from initial communications through final resolution. You’ll collaborate directly with stakeholders (including compliance, customer support, finance, and go-to-market) to devise and implement creative solutions to risk-related matters. You will regularly identify strategic opportunities to manage risk and protect the company’s brand over the long term rather than triaging dispute-by-dispute. Additionally, you will manage costs by knowing when to find a solution in-house and when and how to strategically and cost-effectively deploy outside counsel.
