Get Access To All JobsAt Braze, we have found our people. We're a genuinely approachable, exceptionally kind, and intensely passionate crew.
We seek to ignite that passion by setting high standards, championing teamwork, and creating work-life harmony as we collectively navigate rapid growth on a global scale while striving for greater equity and opportunity – inside and outside our organization.
To flourish here, you must be prepared to set a high bar for yourself and those around you. There is always a way to contribute: Acting with autonomy, having accountability and being open to new perspectives are essential to our continued success.
Our deep curiosity to learn and our eagerness to share diverse passions with others gives us balance and injects a one-of-a-kind vibrancy into our culture.
If you are driven to solve exhilarating challenges and have a bias toward action in the face of change, you will be empowered to make a real impact here, with a sharp and passionate team at your back. If Braze sounds like a place where you can thrive, we can't wait to meet you.
The Role
Venture-backed companies have always thrived on Braze, and they have always sought to push the boundaries of customer engagement to better serve their most important asset: their customers. Across every growth stage, VCs play an instrumental role in supporting their portfolio companies and have a vested interest in their success.
Braze has made considerable progress establishing ourselves as a trusted advisor within leading venture firms to support them better, and we're now at a stage to accelerate these relationships even further.
As Senior Partner Sales Manager, VC, you own the operating relationship with a named set of Tier 1 and Tier 2 venture firms. Your job is to expand Braze's relationships and credibility within each firm well beyond the platform owner, so that when a portfolio company is evaluating customer engagement platforms, Braze is the default recommendation.
What You'll Own
- Firm operating cadence. Run a recurring cadence with each assigned firm with clear agendas, pre-work, and follow-through.
- Firm-wide relationship depth. Build relationships beyond the typical platform owner, into a firm's investment, talent, and community teams, so Braze is embedded across the business rather than single-threaded through one contact.
- Define and deliver joint initiatives with your partner firms that support the growth of their portfolio companies and Braze's customer footprint.
- Portfolio enablement. Run portfolio-facing enablement: workshops, office hours, founder sessions, event participation to ensure portfolio companies hear from Braze directly.
- Work closely with the Braze sales team on founder and portfolio-company introductions, converting relationship depth into qualified pipeline and new business wins.
- Reporting and forecasting. Own pipeline management and portfolio tracking to ensure Leadership visibility.
- Offer and program feedback. Gather feedback from firms and portfolio companies on program and offer design on an ongoing basis, and feed it back to shape how the offer evolves.
What This Role Is Really About
The job is to become embedded enough in each firm, beyond the platform owner, that Braze gets surfaced by default whenever a portfolio company is choosing a customer engagement platform. That only comes from operating cadence and relationship depth held consistently over quarters.
How We Show Up
- Owns relationship depth, not just the relationship. You know each firm's platform team, investment team and portfolio well enough to spot where Braze adds value before anyone asks you to.
- Drives outcomes through firms without controlling them. You don't own a firm's investment decisions or a portfolio company's buying decision, but you influence both, consistently, through credibility rather than authority.
- Builds relationships that outlast a single check-in. GPs, platform leads and founders trust you because you've shown up for them before, not because you need an intro this quarter.
- Communicates with precision to very different audiences. You can confidently talk about thesis and portfolio strategy with a GP and customer engagement architecture with a portfolio company's technical lead.
Who You Are
- 7-10 years of experience in Venture Capital, Private Equity, Partnerships, Sales, Business Development or Ecosystem roles, with direct, hands-on experience partnering with VC firms.
- Comfortable being the single point of contact for a named portfolio of firms, and confident enough with Braze's platform and composable architecture to speak credibly to a firm's platform or portfolio-ops team, not only its GPs.
- A track record of building operating cadence and joint programming with external partners.
- Highly organised and execution-focused, able to manage multiple firm relationships and initiatives at once without a large team around you.
- Naturally curious, high EQ, and comfortable operating at every level within an organisation, from GP to portfolio-company founder.
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with Customer Engagement, Growth and Retention strategies.
- Experience building or expanding a partner program.
For candidates based in the United States, the pay range for this position at the start of employment is expected to be between $67,200 and $96,600/year, with an expected On Target Earnings (OTE) between $112,000 and $161,000/year (including bonus or commission). Your exact offer may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. In addition to cash compensation, this role qualifies for a comprehensive Total Rewards package that includes equity grants of restricted stock (RSUs) so that you will own a piece of our company.

Search Sales Partner Jobs in CaliforniaSales Partner Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for sales partners in California?
Enterprise software and technology companies are among the most active sponsors for sales partner roles in California. Firms like Salesforce, Oracle, SAP, Adobe, and ServiceNow have established patterns of H-1B visa sponsorship for sales professionals in their California offices. Life sciences companies in San Diego, such as those operating across the Torrey Pines corridor, also sponsor sales partners with relevant technical or scientific backgrounds.
Which visa types realistically fit sales partner roles in California?
H-1B is the most common path, provided the role qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as business, marketing, or a technical discipline. F-1 students may work via OPT if the role relates to their field of study. Australian nationals may consider the E-3 visa, and Chilean or Singaporean nationals may qualify for the H-1B1 visa, both requiring a specialty occupation and employer sponsorship.
How to find sales partner visa sponsorship jobs in California?
Migrate Mate lists California-based employers with verified visa sponsorship history for sales partner roles, letting you search by city and filter to companies that have actively filed for this type of position. This is more targeted than broad job searches because the results reflect actual employer sponsorship activity rather than self-reported claims, which matters when you need to identify realistic opportunities in markets like San Francisco, Los Angeles, or San Diego.
Which cities in California have the most sales partner sponsorship jobs?
San Francisco and San Jose account for a significant share of California's sponsored sales partner roles, driven by the density of enterprise software and SaaS companies headquartered in the Bay Area. Los Angeles is active in media technology and e-commerce sales, while San Diego has a strong cluster in life sciences and cybersecurity. Sacramento sees some activity from government technology vendors, though at lower volume than the coastal metros.
Are there state-specific factors that affect visa sponsorship for sales partners in California?
California's concentration of venture-backed technology companies means many employers are accustomed to sponsoring international talent, though sponsorship practices vary significantly by company size and funding stage. Early-stage startups may be less equipped to manage H-1B filings than established enterprises. California also has a strong university pipeline through UC Berkeley, UCLA, and USC, so employers in this state often have existing processes for transitioning F-1 OPT holders into full sponsorship.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored sales partner jobs in California?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
