Want to learn and grow in the role? Perfect!

Your focus will also be to develop an in-depth understanding of the platform’s features and functionalities as well as our customer’s use cases and be able to continue to feed that insight back into the business. While in this role you should be identifying areas of the Braze product in which you can specialize in and become a Subject Matter Expert. In this function, you will be the first point of escalation for any specific cases that need additional assistance from the Technical Support Team.
