Function: Partnership Reports to: AVP, Delivery Partnerships Location: London

About the Role

This is a chance to shape the next chapter of one of our most strategically important channels - with a canvas that extends well beyond a single region. We're looking for a seasoned partnerships executive to take the reins of an already-thriving agency alliance program and drive it to its next level of scale and sophistication on a global stage.

Sitting within our Alliances organisation and reporting to the AVP of Delivery Partnerships, you will own the agency alliance strategy globally - not just execute against it. You'll be the architect of the GTM vision, acquiring and onboarding new agency partners across markets while deepening and commercialising an existing portfolio of boutique agency and consulting relationships. This is a build-and-scale mandate for someone who wants ownership, visibility, and the latitude to operate as a true business leader within the partner ecosystem - with impact that reaches across every region we operate in.

You will operate at the intersection of Sales and Alliances worldwide, working shoulder-to-shoulder with Sales Leadership across regions to shape program strategy, and with Account Executives globally to convert partner relationships into sourced and influenced pipeline. You'll also partner closely with regional Alliances leaders to ensure strategy, tooling, and playbooks stay coordinated and best-in-class across every market. Success here is measured in one currency above all others: quality pipeline that converts, at global scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and evolve comprehensive GTM plans with our agency partners across regions, translating strategy into quality net-new business pipeline globally
• Drive the sales cycle in lockstep with our sales teams worldwide - from prospecting through deal close - in true partnership with our agencies
• Champion differentiated value propositions and partner specialisms, telling that story with conviction internally at Braze, with agency leadership, and ultimately in markets around the world
• Hold the partnership to a standard of accountability and reciprocity, ensuring a measured flow of outsourced Braze services in exchange for net-new client opportunities
• Bring rigour to the business - reviewing sales play metrics and effectiveness with partners and Braze leadership across regions
• Operate cross-functionally as a connector across Tech and Cloud Partnerships, Partner Marketing, and Partner Education & Enablement to ensure the agency motion is fully supported everywhere we compete

What You Bring

• 10+ years of partnerships experience in a modern cloud technology company, G/SIs, or Agency, with a track record of increasing scope and impact
• A proven, quantifiable history of driving sourced pipeline and influenced revenue through a mature SaaS partner program - you know what great looks like because you've built it
• Deep fluency in the agency and marketing services ecosystem: service offering design, marketing, lead generation, and the KPIs that matter to a professional services organisation
• Firsthand experience navigating agency and consultancy environments, with an intimate understanding of their org structures, business dynamics, and how to build a compelling business case with them
• A demonstrated ability to lead through ambiguity, take on complex strategic and operational mandates, and scale a program across a large, distributed organisation
• The gravitas and executive presence to represent Braze credibly with senior partner and internal stakeholders, paired with the grit and resilience to keep pushing when the path isn't linear
• Willingness to travel across the globe as needed to invest in your most strategic partner relationships

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. Such screening may amount to a form of solely automated decision-making. We also use AI for administrative support, like scheduling and recording interviews and summarizing interview notes. 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.
