Growth Lead

At Breeze, we're building the AI-powered infrastructure layer for global commerce, making it radically simpler for businesses to sell, get paid, and operate across markets.

We go far beyond traditional payment processing. Breeze combines global payments, AI, stablecoins, and a Merchant of Record-like model to take on the complexity businesses typically manage themselves, including compliance, risk, fraud, chargebacks, reconciliation, and customer support.

Our goal is simple: let businesses focus on building and selling great products while Breeze handles the complexity behind getting paid.

Backed by Sequoia Capital , Multicoin Capital , and The Chainsmokers , Breeze is a successful, rapidly growing, and exceptionally well-capitalized company. We have the runway to think long term while remaining early enough that every person joining today can have a meaningful impact on what we build.

Overview

We're looking for our Founding Growth Lead to build Breeze's growth engine from the ground up.

This is a high-impact, high-ownership role where you'll shape how Breeze shows up in the world. Especially how we tell our story, launch products, build our brand, and become a company people in fintech know, talk about, and want to work with.

This isn't a traditional marketing role, and there's no playbook waiting for you. We're not looking for someone to manage agencies or inherit a set of campaigns. We're looking for a builder.

You'll have the freedom to experiment across content, storytelling, product launches, community, partnerships, founder brand, social, and new distribution channels. One week you might be launching our next product; the next, building an AI-powered content engine, working with creators, or testing a growth idea we haven't even thought of yet.

We're looking for someone who thinks like a founder, moves fast, and loves figuring out what works. Someone who knows how to turn great products into attention, momentum, and world-class distribution. There's plenty of white space to make your mark-so if you've helped take growth from zero to something meaningful and want the ownership that comes with building at an early-stage company, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

• Build Breeze's growth and marketing function from the ground up.
• Develop creative growth strategies that increase awareness, engagement, customer acquisition, and product adoption.
• Define and evolve Breeze's positioning, messaging, and overall brand narrative.
• Own our content strategy across LinkedIn, X, YouTube, newsletters, blogs, podcasts, events, and emerging platforms.
• Create content that educates, builds trust, and earns attention organically.
• Partner closely with Product and leadership to launch new products and features that generate excitement and conversation.
• Build repeatable growth loops through content, community, referrals, partnerships, creators, and product-led initiatives.
• Develop founder and executive thought leadership alongside the leadership team.
• Build relationships with creators, influencers, customers, strategic partners, and media.
• Run rapid growth experiments across acquisition, activation, retention, referrals, and virality.
• Leverage AI and automation to dramatically increase the speed, quality, and scale of content production.
• Analyze performance across channels and continuously iterate based on data and customer insights.
• Stay ahead of emerging trends in AI, fintech, payments, crypto, and consumer technology.
• Help recruit and build Breeze's future growth team as the company scales.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience across growth, brand, content, product marketing, or related functions at a high-growth technology company
• Proven experience building growth from zero to something meaningful-creating the strategy, systems, content, and distribution rather than inheriting an established playbook
• Exceptional storyteller who can turn complex ideas and products into compelling content people genuinely want to consume and share
• Deep understanding of modern distribution, internet culture, and social platforms, with a track record of driving organic reach and engagement
• Strong product intuition and an understanding of how product, storytelling, brand, and distribution work together to drive growth
• Builder mentality! You thrive in ambiguity, think from first principles, move quickly, experiment often, and would rather create the playbook than inherit one
• Analytical and data informed, with experience measuring experiments, learning from results, and iterating quickly
• Entrepreneurial and highly collaborative, with the ability to work closely with founders and executives and own whatever it takes to drive growth

Nice to Have

• Experience in fintech, AI, developer tools, SaaS, consumer technology, marketplaces, or another fast-growing technology company
• Experience with founder-led marketing, organic social, content and editorial, product launches, community, or brand strategy
• Experience building referral or viral growth loops, product-led growth, lifecycle marketing, or customer advocacy programs
• Experience developing partnerships with creators, influencers, communities, or other distribution partners
• Hands-on experience using AI and automation to create, distribute, measure, and scale content and marketing workflows
• A track record of building brands and campaigns that earned meaningful organic attention without relying heavily on paid acquisition

We benchmark compensation against the market and establish thoughtful bands for each role, with compensation reflecting experience, skills, location, role scope, and expected impact.

In-Office Expectations

Employees based in our New York City, NY office follow a hybrid work model and are expected to work from the office three days per week . Employees based in our Singapore office are expected to work on-site five days per week .

In-office expectations may vary slightly depending on role, team, and business needs. Certain roles that require closer cross-functional collaboration or operational support may have additional requirements, which will be discussed during the interview process.

Our approach is designed to support meaningful in-person collaboration, team building, and real-time decision-making while providing flexibility where applicable. We believe this structure enables strong execution, close collaboration, and effective teamwork across our global offices.

Come Build With Us!

We offer a rare combination: the ownership and speed of an early-stage company with the traction, backing, and financial foundations of a successful business.

We're building at the convergence of AI, payments, stablecoins, financial infrastructure, and global commerce. The opportunity is much bigger than building another payment processor.

We're building the intelligent infrastructure layer for global commerce, and there's still an enormous amount left to build.

If you want meaningful ownership, hard problems, exceptional teammates, and the opportunity to help define what comes next, we'd love to hear from you!
