About the Role
We're looking for a Brand Manager to turn business priorities and consumer insight into campaigns that shift perception and drive measurable demand. You’ll own campaign strategy from brief through launch and retros, aligning partners, sharpening priorities, and ensuring every expression builds a more distinctive, trusted and effective Affirm brand.
Responsibilities
- Own campaign strategy and architecture for priority brand and partner moments, including co-marketing projects with key merchants and ongoing merchant and promotional campaigns outside the major seasonal moments.
- Translate business goals, audience insight, and brand strategy into briefs and recommendations that shape how Affirm invests in these moments, not just how individual campaigns execute.
- Drive early strategic thinking and lead brief development for partner campaigns, shaping how Partner Marketing, Product Marketing, Creative, Social, Paid, and Comms work together on audience, narrative, channel roles, and definition of success.

- Set campaign GTM strategy and investment priorities across brand and partner moments, determining how Brand Operations resources timelines and workflow and how channel leads allocate budget.
- Build a learning culture. Define what's working across campaigns and turn it into reusable frameworks and standards that make every future effort stronger.
- Own brand measurement and reporting in partnership with paid and analyst functions, both for brand overall and campaign by campaign.
- Maintain the integrity of the brand health tracker, hold execution partners accountable to the brief, and give leadership a clear, recurring read on what's working and what needs to change.
Requirements

- Natural creative thinker and problem solver who can partner to get strong creative out of a team.
- Track record of briefing and running creative work that landed sharp, on strategy, on budget and on time.
- Proven ability to build brand awareness, equity, and differentiation through data and consumer insight, and to evaluate performance against business KPIs.
- Comfortable operating in a complex, matrixed marketing organization and capable of building alignment across cross‑functional partners through influence.
- Uses data to develop and articulate a clear point of view while staying collaborative and open to new information.
- Bonus: experience extending campaigns to global markets and working in fintech, financial services, or another trust‑sensitive category.
