Who We Are Stitch is the global leader in helping brands drive CRM performance through Braze and Databricks. We work with Fortune 1000 brands to design and execute martech-driven solutions and lifecycle marketing strategies that drive meaningful outcomes. Our fast-growing team spans the US, UK, and Canada.

The Role As a Senior Marketing Strategist, you are helping customers reshape the modern martech stack by simplifying how brands connect first-party data, orchestrate dynamic journeys, and unlock true customer-centric marketing. You will work with enterprise marketers and data leaders to build scalable, privacy-first architectures that power personalization at scale. We are looking for a Senior Marketing Strategist who thrives at the intersection of technology, data, and customer experience. You will act as a visionary martech leader that defines the end-to-end roadmap for how brands will shift their marketing stacks to orchestration and broaden their use of Braze and the martech ecosystem to design, optimize, and measure customer journeys. You will translate complex data signals into strategic blueprints and act as a trusted advisor to marketing and technology leaders. Who You Are First and foremost, you’re motivated by impact. To be the best CRM consultancy in the world, we have to be motivated by performance—both in how our work drives outcomes for our customers, and for how our work drives outcomes for Stitch. This means you’re not content with status quo—you’re always looking towards what’s next and seeking opportunities to grow yourself, grow our customers, and grow Stitch. You have relentless standards and uphold them unapologetically. You move nimbly, take ownership, drive things forward, and make the people around you better. If this sounds like you, you will thrive here.
