Australia, Go to Market

**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.

As the Go To Market (GTM) Lead for Australia, you will be responsible for growth and profitability for your market. You will work with our Finance and Strategy (F&S) team, Product Management, and other functional leads to set growth goals, develop a GTM strategy to achieve those goals, and lead and partner with functional experts in your market (i.e., Sales, Partnerships, Product Marketing, Marketing, Account Management, Customer Success) to implement this strategy. You will understand the needs and experiences of your customers, and ensure that Square’s products have product market fit to generate long-term Square value within your market. You will translate your vision into a product and GTM roadmap and gain agreement across all counterparts.

You will report to Square’s International and Partnerships Lead and directly manage individuals spanning the Product Marketing and Strategy and Planning functions and indirectly manage (i.e. dotted-line) the rest of the GTM functions for your region (e.g. Sales, Central Marketing, Partnerships, Account Management). Over time, depending on experience, functional alignment, and success in the market, there may be a path to directly manage these functions as well.

- Operate with a data-driven approach and make investment reallocation decisions with speed, optimizing to achieve maximal and profitable growth.
- Determine Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), target audiences, and the optimal product portfolio through a deep understanding of customer needs, behaviors, decision criteria, and competitive landscape.

- Guide pricing and packaging decisions to maximize growth, retention and profitability; develop a differentiated messaging framework.
