WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

This is a SaaS midmarket/scale sales leadership role, managing a team of midmarket/scale Account Executives for Braze's market-leading Customer Journey Orchestration platform.

The ideal candidate will have at least 5 years of successful experience leading and developing a team of mid-market/scale sellers in a high-growth, rapidly evolving, and dynamically competitive market.

As a front-line leader whose team addresses the problems of customers within retail, you should have strong business acumen and help prepare for, and participate directly in, customer-facing engagements. A key focus of this role is verticalization: developing and operationalizing go-to-market strategies and repeatable sales playbooks tailored to the retail and consumer goods sectors. Your leadership will have a direct impact on the success of our customers, the development of your team, and the success of Braze.

• Ability to coordinate and work cross-functionally 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

• 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 selling into retail and/or consumer brand prospects is a strong plus
• Prior experience in a startup technology company is a plus

• Hire, nurture, and lead a team of world-class sales talent
• Set and execute an aggressive customer acquisition and expansion strategy for the region
• Lead the verticalization strategy for retail and consumer goods, developing and continuously refining sales playbooks, messaging frameworks, and industry-specific value propositions that enable your team to sell with precision and speed
• Partner cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, and Customer Success to build out a robust retail vertical go-to-market motion, including industry event presence, thought leadership, and targeted outbound strategies
• Align go-to-market teams (BDR, marketing, value engineering, SolCon, executive) to execute the FY plan and represent a clear, single vision to customers and the marketplace
• 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, including retail-specific conferences and trade events
• Plan and manage at both the strategic and operational levels
• Be a proactive voice within our global sales leadership team
