Position Overview:
The Financial Services industry operates in one of the most complex, highly regulated, and high-stakes environments, where trust is hard-earned, customer expectations are rising, and the cost of getting it wrong is significant.

An extended member of the Braze Product Marketing team, you’ll own every element of how Braze shows up in this market. You’ll set the strategy, write the industry narrative and positioning, create the plays the field can run, and develop the solutions that address the financial marketer’s unique regulatory and engagement challenges. You’ll work closely with sales, product, partnerships, customer success teams, and other Braze marketing teams to build Braze’s Financial Services business.

Own and deliver the financial services narrative and point of view
- Develop and evolve Braze’s financial services narrative, including our sub-industry narratives.
