Senior Sales Manager, SMB

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. We expanded into software to build integrated, omnichannel solutions—helping 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. The Role We are looking for a Sales Manager to lead our growing team of Account Executives and increase revenue against individual, team and overall Sales goals. You will be a brand ambassador for Square AU and help find opportunities for Square to help AU businesses grow. Your entrepreneurship will be a valuable contribution to developing our strategy, growing our SMB and Mid‑Market sales team, and establishing a culture of crisp execution. As a people manager with new‑business sales experience, you will build a successful Sales team that generates success for our sellers and Square.
