At Stitch, we’re building something extraordinary. As a fast-growing team of passionate marketing technologists, architects, and strategists, we bring together our diverse backgrounds and experiences to work towards one common goal: make marketers’ lives easier with Braze.
Customer engagement is becoming increasingly complex, but with the right technology, processes, and strategies in place, marketers can achieve great things. We're motivated to be drivers of what the future of martech looks like by building solutions that work.
We’re all in on Braze as the leading customer engagement platform and the cornerstone of the modern martech stack.

About This Role
As a Client Partner at Stitch, you'll play a pivotal role in expanding our sales footprint within existing accounts by driving both strategic initiatives and revenue growth. Your primary focus will be on identifying and executing new opportunities for account expansion.

By leveraging our deep partnership with Braze and other cutting-edge martech tools, you will enable our clients to maximize the potential of their marketing efforts. Your ability to forge strong relationships, think strategically and understand the nuances of marketing operations will be crucial to your success.
This role requires you to have both a sales-driven mentality and a deep understanding of marketing technology. You’ll be responsible for the overall health of your client portfolio, driving incremental account growth, identifying new areas of engagement, and working with the Stitch Delivery team to deliver value consistently.
