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 looking for a highly creative, empathetic and analytical Product Marketing Lead to join and lead our growing Product Marketing team. The Product Marketing lead is responsible for driving Relay’s Product Marketing strategy, championing the voice of our customers, and building a strong product marketing organization.
