Operations at Brex
Operations is the backbone of Brex's mission to power businesses through our Intelligent Finance Platform. We own credit, fraud, money movement, and payments, protecting our customers and our company. From product operations that ensure flawless launches to scalable systems that drive innovation and precision, we operate at the intersection of product, design, engineering, and customer success. If you want to work at the heart of the business, Operations is where you belong.

The Operations Internship Program
Throughout this 1-2 year program, you'll be placed on one of our Operations teams, where you'll learn about risk management, operations, and data analysis. You'll contribute to critical process improvements and developments, with a focus on leveraging AI to streamline workflows and enhance decision-making.

You'll challenge the status quo, bringing insights from your work to improve cross-team communication and efficiency. We believe in a founder mindset — and this program is designed to show you how you can take ownership of your growth. During your internship, you'll complete a core project focused on key data insights, process implementation, or process improvement—many of which will involve exploring and applying AI solutions. You'll then have the opportunity to share your findings with your class and Brex Executives.

This program is supported by our leadership team. You'll have frequent meetings with various Brex leaders, providing a unique opportunity to work closely with and learn from executives who are at the forefront of building an AI-native company.
