Affirm
Senior Director, Brand Marketing
Join affirm to lead the next evolution of how our brand shows up in the world. We are reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without hidden fees.
Reporting to the VP of Communications and Brand, you will lead our Brand & Creative team, uniting design, writing, and brand storytelling under a single vision. You’ll partner across Communications, Social, Partner Marketing and Product Marketing to ensure every story, campaign, and cultural moment feels unmistakably affirm: confident, clear, and human.
What You’ll Do
Evolve our brand from a static identity into a living, adaptive system that generates campaigns, guides product experiences, and inspires creative ideas across every channel.
Help transform our brand & creative team from an exclusive in‑house studio role into a cultural and creative leader within affirm.
Build connective tissue across Brand, Comms, Product Marketing, Partner Marketing and other teams to ensure coherence in how affirm 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
15+ years of experience leading brand transformations at scale — in‑house or agency — and know how to build teams that ship work with cultural and commercial impact.
Proven experience leading multidisciplinary teams across design, copy, and brand expression.
A builder mindset—you invent new models of brand‑building rather than relying on traditional ones.
Deep understanding of how brand connects with culture, communications, and business outcomes.
Exceptional creative instincts, clarity in thinking, and strong communication skills.
Expertise in measurement, next‑generation products and tools that can augment and accelerate the work across the team.
Passion for affirm’s mission—and belief that credit can work for people, not against them.
Why You’ll Love This Role Affirm has no centralized marketing department. The right candidate will see this structure as an opportunity to reimagine how a brand moves in the world: faster, braver, and more human, shaping the next chapter of a financial brand seeking to make modern credit what it should’ve always been.
