Acquisition Sales Manager, Smb

Company Description

Since we first opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely - and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take a payment 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, run a busy kitchen, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. And 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 all in one place.

Today, we’re a partner to sellers of all sizes - large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex commerce operations, sellers just starting out, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers scale, so do our solutions. We all grow together.

There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a business that is big, meaningful, and lasting. And we are helping sellers around the world do the same.

**Job Description**:
As our **Acquisition Sales Manager, SMB**, you will create and lead our Outbound Account Executive team and drive Afterpay’s continual growth by building relationships with prospective SMBs, through lead qualification, conversion and campaign execution. You will have the opportunity to inform and influence Afterpay’s Outbound model by working with global counterparts and bringing your experience and best practice to the discussion.

While Outbound will be your primary focus, as a seasoned leader you will guide and influence the broader acquisition team, providing experienced support to Senior Managers and enjoying associated development and exposure opportunities.
