United States onlyFlex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience. It’s hard to believe that it’s 2026 and paying rent on time is expensive, inflexible, and difficult. We’re here to change that! Flex enables our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget. Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense.

In this role, you will oversee initiatives spanning marketing experimentation and incrementality testing, attribution and measurement frameworks, predictive customer and revenue modeling, and optimization of channel performance and lifecycle programs. You will bring deep technical expertise and strong people leadership, guiding the team through complex, high-impact problems at the intersection of marketing strategy, business outcomes, and scalable data science.
