WHAT YOU'LL DO
As a Partner Enablement Manager, you will be the first hire on the education team that is focused solely on our consulting and agency partners. Braze solutions partners work as an extension of our customers’ teams on strategy, marketing initiatives, and engineering work.
The focus of this role is developing and launching a partner certification program. We're rolling out a certification program for customers which focuses more on the use of our platform, and now we need a similar program for partners which includes how to position the product.
We already have a wide breadth of training on dashboard navigation and strategy that can be repurposed for partners, but your job will also include a level of sales enablement. You'll need to work with Sales, Product Marketing, and Alliances to consider the positioning of features and additional context that will help agencies sell Braze. The other half of this role is ensuring we've done our due diligence in putting partners through the appropriate gauntlet of training and assessments to earn their certification. They are functioning as an extension of Braze, so we should hold them to an even higher standard than customers.
