Senior Account Executive, Emerging Enterprise

As an Account Executive on our Emerging Enterprise General Business team, you will own the full sales cycle from prospecting to close, working as a relentless "hunter" focused entirely on net-new customer acquisition. This role is dedicated 100% to breaking into untapped logos within Braze's Emerging Enterprise segment - defined as companies with between 1,000 and 2,000 employees - with no account management or existing-customer responsibilities.

Braze's "General Business" segment is composed of companies that fall within several verticals, including Quick Service Restaurants (QSR), Health & Life Sciences, Travel & Hospitality, and Technology, among others. Typical new-business deal sizes range from $200K to $1M+ per year.

You will operate as a trusted advisor to prospective clients as they look to Braze to grow and scale their business, working directly with Marketing, Product, and Technical executives and their teams to help them forge human connections between consumers and the brands they love. Join a scaling, diverse, and tight-knit team united by mutual collaboration, a growth mindset, and relentless optimism in pursuit of success.
