Team: Global Solutions COE
Reports to: VP/SVP, Solutions
The Director, Global Programs leads a set of specialized teams that support Solutions Consulting globally: Value Consulting, Proposal Writing, Program Management, and Partnership Solutions. This is a broad operating leadership role — you'll manage a team of managers and individual leads spanning multiple disciplines and regions (AMER, EMEA, APAC), ensuring each function scales in lockstep with the business and delivers consistent, high-quality support to the field.
You'll balance hands-on people leadership with program-level thinking: setting priorities across four distinct teams, resolving cross-functional dependencies, and reporting on the collective impact of these programs to Solutions leadership.
* Team Leadership: Lead a global team of managers and individual contributors across Value Consulting, Proposal Writing, Program Management, and Partnership Solutions, including hiring, coaching, and performance management.
* Value Consulting Oversight: Guide the Lead and Senior Value Consultants who build the business case and ROI narrative for enterprise deals, ensuring consistent methodology and quality across regions.
* Proposal & RFP Strategy: Oversee the Proposal Writing function, ensuring RFP and proposal responses are timely, accurate, and consistently reflect Braze's positioning across regions.
* Program Management: Direct program management resourcing and process for cross-functional initiatives, ensuring the team has visibility, structure, and reporting cadence across the broader Solutions org.
* Partnership Solutions: Oversee the Partnership Solutions team and its regional Global Strategic Partnership (GSP) Solutions Consultant leads (AMER, EMEA, APAC), ensuring partner-sourced and partner-influenced deals get consistent technical and consultative support.
* Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with Sales, Solutions Consulting, PMM, and Partnerships leadership to align priorities, staffing, and process across all four teams.
* Operating Cadence & Reporting: Establish metrics and reporting rhythms (e.g., proposal turnaround, deal support coverage, partner-sourced pipeline impact) to demonstrate program value to executive leadership.
* Scaling & Structure: Design the org structure and hiring plan needed to support next-stage growth across each function, including new regional coverage as needed.
* 8+ years in Solutions Consulting, program/business operations, or a related client-facing function within B2B SaaS, including 4+ years managing managers or multi-team organizations.
* Experience leading diverse, cross-functional teams (e.g., value consulting, proposal/RFP, program management, partnerships) toward a shared operating rhythm.
* Strong program management fundamentals: prioritization across competing initiatives, resourcing, and executive-level reporting.
* Familiarity with value engineering/ROI methodology and enterprise RFP processes is a strong plus.
* Experience supporting or partnering with a Partnerships/Alliances function, including partner-sourced deal motions, is a plus.
* Proven ability to operate across time zones and regions (AMER, EMEA, APAC), with a track record of building consistent global process.
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with comfort presenting to senior/executive leadership.
* Comfortable with ambiguity; able to build and refine team structure, process, and metrics from the ground up.
