Account Executive, Enterprise

The posting, as Braze wrote it

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.

This is an Enterprise-level role within the Enterprise team in Braze's MEGS (Media, Entertainment, Gaming & Sports) organization. You will own a book spanning NHL, NBA, MLB, and MLS clubs and league-level entities — a mix of existing team/league relationships to grow and protect, combined with a very strong mandate to acquire net-new logos across all four leagues. This is one of the first dedicated, vertical-native seats built for professional sports, with a ~110-day sales cycle that is unique to how teams and leagues plan and budget.

The ideal candidate will have at least 7+ years selling SaaS solutions into enterprise accounts, with deep comfort running long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles from a standing start. Experience selling into professional sports, media, or live-events organizations is a strong plus, but not required — what matters most is the ability to translate a complex, cross-departmental buying process (marketing, ticketing, digital, data/analytics, and business intelligence functions) into a coherent, value-based pitch, largely from scratch.

You'll operate as the "GM" of your book — building account strategy across a relatively small, high-value universe of teams and league offices, partnering closely with Marketing, Business Development, and Customer Success to build a pipeline that is weighted heavily toward net-new acquisition, while also growing and protecting the existing relationships already in the book.

Core to your pitch will be Braze's Fan Equity framework: every team and league shares the same lifecycle marketing problem — fan attention peaks hard around game days, season openers, trades, and playoff runs, then falls off in the gaps between. Your job is to show how Braze's cross-channel orchestration and BrazeAI-powered personalization keep fans engaged through those valleys, turning single-game buyers into season-long, multi-year relationships.
