Sydney, Australia Afterpay Full time

Company 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 through Afterpay, 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.

**Job Description**:
As Afterpay’s business continues to scale, we are seeking a highly strategic individual to join the team as Manager, Strategy & Performance. This is a hybrid role that requires strategic and commercial acumen along with strong presentation, stakeholder management and program management expertise.

You will also be responsible for contributing to global business updates & reports for the ANZ Sales team. In addition to these core responsibilities, you will also lead key cross-functional initiatives designed to drive incremental revenue for our business.

- Lead reporting requirements for the APAC Sales Team as well as feed into internal communications on our business performance
