Braze Braze · Enterprise · Austin, TX · Customer Experience

Senior Manager/Director of Technical Partner Solutions to define strategic direction and lead evolution of Braze's technical engagement with Technology (ISV) and Delivery Partners. This leader will scale the ISV function, focusing efforts on high-value technical partnerships and building a scalable support framework for technically complex customer use cases built by Delivery Partners. Requires a technical leader who can work cross-functionally to understand the technical needs of our partner ecosystem, map these needs against Braze's internal strategy, and translate them into measurable execution plans.

  2. Strengthen cross-functional alignment with Product, Engineering, and Partnerships to ensure ISV integrations enhance customer value, accelerate product adoption, and support retention
  3. Oversee program scalability, introducing and managing tools and processes such as an Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS), optimised partner listings, and documentation
  4. Demonstrate a data-oriented approach to define and track technical partner KPIs, such as integration quality (utilization, efficacy), number of new partners, speed to market, time to integration, and technical certification rates
  5. Translate partner product updates, integration expansion requests, and complex customer use cases into actionable roadmap inputs for Product & Engineering
