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.
Overview
We’re looking for a Senior Director of Brand to help lead the next evolution of how Affirms shows up in the world. It’s for someone who wants to build on one—every day, through ideas, storytelling, and action.
What You’ll Do
- Evolve Affirms 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 a brand & Creative team from an in‑house studio into a cultural and creative leader within Affirms.
- Build 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.

- 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 team’s work.
- Passion for Affirms mission—and belief that credit can work for people, not against them.
