About the role
You'll work with some of the biggest technology companies in the world: AWS, Google Cloud, Snowflake, Databricks, and Shopify. As our AMER PDM for tech partners, you'll turn global partnership strategy into regional-specific execution in AMER that drives pipeline and revenue for Braze while feeding each partner's own commercial model.
You'll work most closely with our Global Account Leaders, who own the global relationship with a single partner (for example, the AWS global relationship owner), and our Partner Sales Managers (PSMs), who own partner activity on specific Braze customer opportunities.

Execute regional partner development strategies
• Work closely with global account leads to translate global partner strategies into AMER-specific execution.
• Own delivery of regional programmes that unlock new revenue opportunities for both Braze and the partner.
• Deepen partner relationships beyond the partnerships org, into industry and vertical sales leadership.
Own AMER AWS Marketplace growth
• Grow new business transacted through AWS Marketplace, moving Braze's engagement from reactive to proactive.
• Own the commercial levers behind marketplace growth: co-sell relationships, pipeline quality, and partner funding and incentive programmes.
Enablement and evangelism
• Champion Braze inside partner field organisations and build the case for why partner sellers should bring Braze into their accounts.
• Enable Braze sellers on when and why marketplace is the right route for a deal, and evangelise joint wins across both organisations.
What success looks like
• Pipeline: PQLs plus sourced and influenced closed-won business, growing quarter over quarter and year over year across your assigned GSPs.
