The opportunity
Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.
What you'll do
Shape how Affirm shows up in the coverage and conversation the market: follows, making the case for what sets it apart from legacy credit and newer entrants as the industry evolves.
Build belief in the business by owning the story behind the numbers: in partnership with Investor Relations, Finance, and Capital Markets – making the case for a model that grows on consumer success, not mistakes.
Lead communications around the milestones that define the company, from: earnings, funding, partnerships, major business news. And keep the story moving between those milestones, creating openings to advance it so credibility compounds instead of resetting with each headline.
Earn the confidence of the business and financial reporters, producers, and: podcasters who cover the company, across traditional and new media, setting the agenda and becoming the source they return to.
Counsel and prepare executives when the stakes are highest, from media: interviews to speaking opportunities, with the messaging and briefing materials they need.
Make sure the business and financial story stays in step with everything else: Affirm is saying, so the company sounds like one voice everywhere it shows up.
What they're looking for
- Corporate and financial comms experience: 12+ years in communications, ideally spanning both a fast-moving, high-growth company and a public one.
- Media relationships: established connections with national business and financial reporters, producers, and podcasters, and the standing to be a voice they trust.
- Market fluency: a real feel for how the market reads a public company, including earnings, capital markets, and disclosure.
- Mastery of the story behind the numbers: someone who gets into dense financials and credit metrics fast, sees what they mean beyond what they say, and turns them into a clear, defensible story that holds up with reporters and analysts.
