Job Summary

Own field narrative and enablement across personas, segments, and funnel stages; build and lead a GTM PMM function; align with Sales, Solutions Consultants, and CS to translate complex product value into buyer-ready language and measurable pipeline impact.

  • Lead field-facing narratives and enablement that drive pipeline and win rates
  • Build and own the GTM playbook and assets for field success
  • Partner with field leaders and delivery partners to align launches and go-to-market motions

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • The field narrative: Take the core messaging and positioning built by the PMM team and shape it into a compelling, coherent story the field can carry into every conversation — by persona, segment, and stage of the funnel
  • The playbook, and how product information reaches the field: You own the system by which our products become legible to the GTM org: the plays, narratives, assets, and channels that ensure every seller knows what we offer, who it's for, why it matters now, and how to win against the alternatives
  • Technology & services delivery partner GTM: Own how we go to market with our technology and services delivery partners — enabling them on our products and narrative, partnering strategically on launches and programs, building joint go-to-market motions, and aligning priorities so that our success and our partners' success reinforce each other
  • Braze Services Marketing: Own the GTM narrative for our in-house services — support, onboarding, and education — and articulate the distinct value of Braze-delivered services to our customers as a meaningful differentiator
  • A small, agile, growing team: Lead and develop a team of GTM PMMs, setting priorities, raising the bar on craft, and building the foundation for a function that will scale globally over time
  • Partner with field leadership every day. Work hand-in-hand with Sales, Solutions Consultants, and CS leaders to understand where deals stall, what reps need, and how to translate product value into language that moves opportunities forward
  • Translate complex technology into the language of our buyers — and coach the field to do the same: You make hard things simple without making them shallow
  • Use AI as a force multiplier — judiciously: You're AI-literate and fluent in how AI is reshaping both martech and the practice of marketing. You know when AI meaningfully accelerates the work and when human judgment has to lead
  • Prioritize ruthlessly: Focus your team's energy on the narratives, launches, and plays that move the needle for the business — and have the judgment and the spine to say no to the rest
  • Spend time with customers: You treat customer time as a priority, not a luxury, and you bring what you learn back into the messaging, the playbook, and the roadmap conversation

Requirements

  • - 10+ years of experience in Product Marketing, GTM/field marketing, or a closely related GTM function, including experience leading and developing people
  • - A track record of building field-facing narratives and enablement that demonstrably influenced pipeline, deal velocity, or win rates
  • - Deep experience in B2B SaaS, ideally in martech, with strong command of the competitive and AI landscape
  • - Proven ability to translate complex technology into buyer-ready language — and to help a field organization do the same
  • - Experience building joint go-to-market motions with technology or services delivery partners — enabling partners, aligning priorities, and partnering on launches and programs
  • - Demonstrated ability to operate across functions and bring order to ambiguity
  • - A genuine interest in marketing as a craft
  • - A marketer who loves working with Sales and Customer Success. You're energized by the field, not protective of distance from it. The field trusts you as a subject-matter expert; Marketing trusts you as a strategic, thoughtful partner
  • - A messaging craftsperson. You can take a positioning doc and a complex product and turn it into something sharp, memorable, and sales-ready. Strong messaging chops are non-negotiable
  • - Fluent in the sales motion. You understand how deals actually get done and build for the way the field really sells
