Customer Success Advocate

**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.

You may have current experience providing customer service in hospitality, retail, or another customer-focused role. You will work with your lead and Square teammates to develop a career in a technology company, better understand the unique challenges faced by Australian (and international) small business owners, and help promote long-term success for Square in Australia.

- Identify, document, take ownership of sellers' issues and see problems through to resolution, escalating feature requests
- Analyse trends in sellers issues and suggest improvement ideas and plans
- Work with internal Squares and our Square Australia sellers with empathy, being willing to seek different perspectives, take principled risks and have a focus on inventing and learning
- Occasionally work on public holidays to support our Square Australia sellers

**Qualifications**:
You have:

- The ability to work with Australia-based sellers in English (writing and phone), and global Square colleagues in English (reading, writing and video meetings)
- Experience working in a customer support role or a background in hospitality, retail or a customer-facing role
- Comfort with ambiguity and resilient when facing rapid change
- Problem-solving skills - you enjoy digging into a problem and finding a solution
- The soft skills to engage with sellers over the phone, asking questions and offering solutions for their business
- The ability to tailor a custom customer support experience to address the unique requirements of individual Square sellers
- A strong interest in receiving and implementing feedback and focus on improvement
- A passion for Square and desire to help sellers
