New York, New York, United States Braze Full time

At Braze, we have found our people. We're a genuinely approachable, exceptionally kind, and intensely passionate crew.

We seek to ignite that passion by setting high standards, championing teamwork, and creating work-life harmony as we collectively navigate rapid growth on a global scale while striving for greater equity and opportunity – inside and outside our organization.

To flourish here, you must be prepared to set a high bar for yourself and those around you. There is always a way to contribute: Acting with autonomy, having accountability and being open to new perspectives are essential to our continued success. 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.

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.


About The Role

Braze is looking for an experienced leader to act as head strategist and editor-in-chief to take our content program to the next level. Your responsibilities will include reimagining the foundation–content purpose, editorial calendar, reporting, format, our blog, long-form, event content, and digital strategy–deeply understanding Braze's audience, defining our global content roadmap, leading a team of writers and content marketers, and guiding resonant and industry-leading event content. Your goals will include driving brand awareness amongst marketing professionals, reinforcing our category leadership, generating qualified leads, educating our customers and prospects, and enabling our sales and marketing organizations.

We're looking for a strategic storyteller with insatiable creativity and a penchant for experimentation. In other words: you have a lot of cool ideas, are quick to execute, and are inclined to optimize. You should be comfortable expounding on technical topics and leveraging data to create attention-grabbing pieces. Your audience-centric mindset will guide you to generate deliverables that are helpful and unique to Braze and our customers, prospects, and partners.

This will be a highly cross-functional role, expected to work across our Marketing, Strategic Consulting, Sales, and Growth functions as well as with external stakeholders such as partners, customers, and editorial freelancers.
