<div class="content-intro"><p>At Braze, we have found our people.

There is always a way to contribute: Acting with autonomy, having accountability and being open to new perspectives are essential to our continued success.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p></div><p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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 betw
