Our mission is to increase the success rate of small businesses. Traditional banking has been a growth limiter rather than a growth enabler for business owners, and we’re changing that. Relay is the all-in-one, collaborative money management platform. We’re building for employer SMBs and their finance function, internal and external, and are focused on delivering a human-centric customer experience. Ultimately, we help SMBs be ‘on the money'.

Relay is expanding our Demand Generation strategy as we head into a big 2025. To help meet our ambitious goals, we’re looking for a customer-and-data-obsessed Demand Generation leader to grow our team and take our demand gen strategy into scale. This is an opportunity to have a major impact on a new prong of our overall go-to-market: attracting and nurturing high-quality leads and helping build a distinct marketing/sales motion outside our self-serve registration funnel. If you are looking to contribute your experience and skills in a fast-growing startup — driving major revenue growth along the way — we want to hear from you!
