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.WHAT YOU'LL DOOwn and build pipeline across a named set of NHL, NBA, MLB, and MLS accounts, with a strong emphasis on net-new prospecting and acquisition alongside growth of existing relationshipsBuild and execute account plans across the book, mapping decision-makers across marketing, ticketing/revenue, digital, and data/analytics functionsRun a consultative, value-based sales process — from discovery through negotiation and close — typically over a ~110-day cyclePartner with a Business Development Representative and Marketing to build and prioritize pipeline coverage across the full bookDevelop and deliver executive-level business value assessments that connect Braze's platform capabilities to team/league-specific outcomes: ticket revenue, sponsorship activation, membership/season-ticket retention, and direct-to-fan digital engagementCollaborate cross-functionally with Deal Desk, Strategic Consulting, Customer Success, and Services to structure deals and ensure successful onboardingRepresent Braze at relevant industry events, league meetings, and sports-tech forums to build brand presence in the verticalMaintain accurate forecasting and pipeline hygiene in SalesforceWHO YOU AREBackground in Enterprise SaaS sales, ideally in Marketing Technology, CDP, CRM, or adjacent categoriesDemonstrated experience in complex, multi-stakeholder solution sellingTraining and practice in value-based selling, with an emphasis on building Business Value Assessments; experience with Command of the Message a plusGenuine passion for and working knowledge of the professional sports landscape — how teams and leagues make money, and how fan engagement ties to revenuePrior experience with Salesforce.com CRM or a comparable platform to manage pipeline, requiredDemonstrated ability to quickly ramp on new product surface area and cloud toolsProven track record navigating organizations with non-traditional buying committees and decision processesStrong verbal, written, and executive presentation skillsAbility to travel for in-market meetings and industry eventsFor candidates based in the United States, the pay range for this position at the start of employment is expected to be between $121,000 and $190,000/year, with an expected On Target Earnings (OTE) between $239,000 and $375,000/year (including bonus or commission).
