  • Coach your team through the overall sales process, participate, where appropriate, in a hands-on manner in deals, and provide detailed and accurate sales forecasting
  • Be the “voice of Braze” in prospect, customer and industry forums
  • Plan and manage at both the strategic and operational levels
  • Be a proactive voice within our enterprise and global sales leadership team

WHAT YOU HAVE

  • Minimum of 5 years of successful experience leading a team of at least five quota-carrying Enterprise Account Executives

  • Ability to coordinate and work cross-functionally internally with internal constituencies, including Business Development, Marketing, Customer Success, Legal, and Sales Operations
  • Outstanding verbal, written and in-person presentation skills
  • Excellent commercial and legal negotiation skills
  • Strong technical and business acumen; the ability to engage with multiple customer personas across a wide variety of industries and within both technical and marketing functional roles
  • Up-to-date on digital and application trends, especially in the mobile space
  • Prior experience selling Mobile or Marketing Technology is a strong plus
  • Prior experience in a startup technology company a plus

OUR AI-POWERED BRAZE RECRUITMENT PROCESS

At Braze, we’re committed to a fair and transparent candidate experience. To help our recruitment teams focus on what matters most — the person behind each application — we use AI-assisted tools at certain stages of our recruitment process. 

This includes using AI to analyze the experience, skills and qualifications in your application materials to help with screening and prioritizing candidates.

Our recruiting teams remain responsible for all hiring decisions and are involved throughout the process.

Depending on where you are located, you may have the right to request further information about how AI is used in our recruitment process, to opt out of AI-assisted review, to request a manual review of any decision made or to contest a decision. 

Please contact us at [email protected] for any requests or questions. To find out more about our hiring process, check out this page.
