Role
Who you are
- You have 2-3 years of experience working in event marketing, field marketing or community and are comfortable being highly hands-on
- You live for strong project management. You can run multiple events simultaneously, track details across time zones and projects, and keep stakeholders informed without being asked
- You enjoy building in ambiguity and are energized by testing, learning, and iterating quickly rather than following a rigid playbook
- You’re a clear communicator and strong cross-functional partner who can collaborate effectively across marketing, sales, and operations
- Familiarity with Hubspot, Salesforce, or similar MAP/CRM tools is a plus
- Why Relay Might Be the Perfect Fit For You

- You crave autonomy: We trust our team with big challenges and the freedom to solve them. If you’re someone who takes initiative, is comfortable taking risks, and seeks input when needed, you’ll find the freedom here empowering
- You own your work: You take pride in your work, follow through on commitments, and feel a deep sense of responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks
- You treat comfort as a red flag: You seek growth. When things feel too comfortable, you lean into change. You’re excited about stepping into the unknown and navigating new terrain to create something better alongside your team
- You care about impact, not noise: You care deeply about the substance of your work. You measure success by results, not recognition and you let your work speak for itself
- You’re energized by complexity and ambiguity: You enjoy tackling problems that don’t come with a playbook. You’re comfortable building from scratch, iterating as you go, and collaborating to shape the best path forward
- You seek out feedback: We value directness, clarity, and respect. We believe honesty fuels great work and career growth. You see feedback as a tool for learning and improvement, and you know that open, honest dialogue is key to achieving the best results — together
- You’re here for more than a job: At Relay, everything we do is in service of our mission to help small businesses thrive. To drive impact and have purpose here, that mission must matter to you too

Our take
Traditional banking options can feel outdated and tedious, especially if this includes in-person visits and waiting in line. This has led to the rise of online banking - but lots of smaller companies have to navigate multiple complicated applications in order to manage this business banking.
This is what Relay aims to fix. It's no-fee, online banking and money management platform looks to tackle financial complexity for SMBs. The company's goal is to fully automate the finance function using banking that deeply integrates into back-office systems. And its software is designed to affordably increase financial clarity and security, reducing the time spent on administrative tasks.
Relay is focused on its long-term goals and plans to scale up distribution and grow in sales, marketing, customer support, operations, engineering and product. The company currently serves thousands of SMBs across the US with the goal to get 100,000 small businesses over the next few years.
