Full job description
At 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.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As an Account Executive on our Scale Retail team, you will own the full sales cycle from prospecting to closing, working as a relentless “hunter” to identify, prioritize, outreach to and ultimately close new business. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to work side-by-side with several Braze customers, operating as a trusted advisor as they look to Braze to grow and scale their business.
Join a scaling, diverse, and tight-knit team that’s working directly with Marketing, Product, and Technical executives and their teams to help them forge human connections between consumers and the brands they love. Our team has a variety of backgrounds, but is united by a commitment to mutual collaboration, a growth mindset, and relentless optimism in pursuit of success.
WHO YOU ARE
You have at least 3-5 years of field sales experience selling SaaS solutions that involve technically integrated products
You excel at generating and managing your own pipeline, thinking both strategically and creatively about how to drive desired outcomes through effective and persistent outreach. You’re on top of many moving parts
Your customers describe your selling as consultative and human. You’re a natural storyteller and an attentive listener
You demonstrate the mechanics of a value-first conversation, including the steps necessary to get there: strong and ongoing discovery, a solid understanding of the business pain, what outcomes they are hoping to achieve, and how Braze is best positioned to provide differentiated value
You’re analytical and data-driven. Your approach is grounded in examples and defined by testing and iterating. You harbor a desire to understand and make sense of complex systems and concepts
