Location: AMER Reports to: VP, Strategic Technology Partners

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.

What you'll do

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
• Marketplace: more ACV/TCV and transaction volume through AWS, Google Cloud, and eventually Snowflake marketplaces and field sales programs.
• Field engagement: Braze AEs, CPLs, and partner field reps actually running marketplace motions, not just hearing about them.
• Operations: clean, accurate partner pipeline data and a healthy partner referral flow.

What we're looking for

• 3 to 5 years in partnerships, business development, or cloud sales at a SaaS company.
• Hands-on experience with hyperscaler and cloud marketplaces (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Snowflake), including the funding and incentive programs around them.
• Experience managing pipeline, forecasts, and sales motions in Salesforce.
• The trust-building skills to run joint GTM plays with partner field teams, and the operational discipline to keep the data behind them clean.
• Strong communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills, and comfort working across Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Product.

Why Join Braze

At Braze, we’re building the customer engagement platform of the future. Our GSP ecosystem with AWS, Google, Snowflake, Databricks, and Shopify represents a critical growth engine for Braze. As a Partner Development Lead, you’ll be on the front lines of driving this growth, shaping how we engage with partners regionally, and ensuring that marketplace and field sales motions are a consistent source of new revenue, influence, and scale.

For candidates based in the United States, the pay range for this position at the start of employment is expected to be between $101,000 and $158,000/year, with an expected On Target Earnings (OTE) between $135,000 and $192,000/year (including bonus or commission).Your exact offer may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. In addition to cash compensation, this role qualifies for a comprehensive Total Rewards package that includes equity grants of restricted stock (RSUs) so that you will own a piece of our company.
