Job description

Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, we saw sellers stymied by disparate, outmoded products and tools that wouldn’t work together.

So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions – to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, offer buy now, pay later functionality, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. Across it all, we’ve embedded financial services tools at the point of sale, so merchants can access a business loan and manage their cash flow in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale.

Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same.

• Deliver a predictable, repeatable and scalable outbound sales process to fill your pipeline and close deals (prospecting activities include:, cold calling, cold emailing, social selling, etc.)
• Partner with our Business Development Team to convert and close cold, outbound leads
• Lead the charge introducing Square to merchants in all verticals (restaurants, retail, services)
• Oversee the sales cycle from prospect to close and partner with other teams to ensure successful onboarding

• Partner with Product and Marketing teams to ensure our solutions meet the needs of the market
