About The Position

Braze is the leading customer engagement platform, helping the world's most ambitious brands build absolutely engaging relationships with their customers. From cross-channel messaging and journey orchestration to AI-powered experimentation and optimization, we put market-leading AI in the hands of marketers in one of the most dynamic categories in software. We're growing fast and expanding globally, and this role sits right at the center of how we bring that innovation to market. Our core Product Marketing team defines how the world understands our products. This role is about what happens next: turning that messaging and positioning into a field narrative that wins. You'll be the connective tissue between Product Marketing and the GTM organization — the person who makes sure everything we bring to market is visible, understandable, and sellable across Sales, Sales Engineering, Customer Success, and Partnerships. This is a player-coach role. You'll lead a small, agile team of GTM PMMs while staying hands-on in the work yourself — and you'll have the runway to grow that team and your scope as Braze scales globally.
