Senior Director, Brand Marketing

Senior Director, Brand Marketing

Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.

Affirm is building a new kind of payment network—one based on trust, transparency, and putting people first. We empower millions of consumers to spend and save responsibly and give thousands of businesses the tools to grow.

We’re looking for a Senior Director of Brand to help lead the next evolution of how Affirms shows up in the world. This is not a role for people whose comfort zone is making decks about a brand. It’s for someone who wants to build on one—every day, through ideas, storytelling, and action.

Reporting to the VP of Communications and Brand, you'll lead Affirms talented Brand & Creative team, uniting design, writing, and brand storytelling under a single, clear vision. You’ll partner across Communications, Social, Partner Marketing and Product Marketing to ensure every story, campaign, and cultural moment feels unmistakably Affirms : confident, clear, and human.

What You’ll Do

• Evolve Affirms brand from a static identity into a living, adaptive system — one that generates campaigns, guides product experiences, and inspires creative ideas across every channel.
• Help transform a more than willing brand & creative team from an exclusive role as an in‑house studio into a cultural and creative leader within Affirms.
• Build the connective tissue across Brand, Comms, Product Marketing, Partner Marketing and other teams to ensure coherence in how Affirms shows up across all touchpoints.
• Develop bold, culturally relevant creative work that builds distinction, drives participation, and strengthens trust.
• Create frameworks and rituals that help teams move fast and make meaningful work that actually matters.

What We’re Looking For

Why You’ll Love This Role

Affirm has no centralized marketing department. Some may view this as a bug. The right candidate will see this as a feature to seize upon. You’ll have the rare opportunity to reimagine how a brand moves in the world : faster, braver, and more human while you shape the next chapter of a financial brand seeking to make modern credit be what it should’ve always been : honest.
