Strategic Account Manager, Mid-Market

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**:
Our Enterprise Account Management team is looking for a tenured account manager, consultant or sales professional with experience managing high-value technical accounts to help retain and grow Square's most engaged Australian sellers. As the first APAC-based Enterprise Account Manager, you'll help refine our international upmarket (enterprise and mid-market) strategy, scale our global presence and prove out the program's success in the region.

You will be well-versed in working with senior decision makers, including C-level executives, IT, finance and operations. You will have experience managing complex projects with multiple stakeholders on behalf of global customers, inclusive of global deal negotiation, contracting and technical solutioning. Reporting to the Enterprise Account Management Lead based in the US, you will work in collaboration with product, engineering, finance, implementation, marketing, legal and sales to ensure successful growth of our Australian sellers. This role can be based remotely anywhere on the East Coast of Australia or in our Melbourne office through a hybrid of in-office and remote working.

**You will**:

- Build partnerships and establish lasting, fruitful relationships with existing customers to retain and grow our presence within global enterprise grade organizations
- Take full ownership of your managed book and oversee business prioritization, financial contract structuring, legal negotiations, technology strategy and ongoing account management
- Discover challenges and aspiration with customers, using Square's platform and product portfolio to grow their success through up-sell and cross-sell opportunities
- Partner with sales peers to establish and grow newly on-boarded, high-value customers, identifying patterns of success in repeatable strategic and technical solutions used to improve market development
- Be the "voice of the seller" curating analysis of product performance from your managed book and provide relevant feedback for product roadmap
- Seek for opportunities to remove roadblocks and establish new processes, such as cross functional workflows or bi-weekly status meetings, for both your sellers and your Account Management team within Square

**Qualifications**:
**You have**:

- Experience in either account management, business development, consulting, partnerships, sales, sales engineering, or similar roles ideally focused on technical products
- Experience achieving revenue and retention metric goals
- Expertise in contract and pricing negotiations with external senior partners
- Experience conducting requirements gathering with multinational customers, recommending solutions, informing business cases for feature development with products teams, and balancing expectations for both parties
- Expertise in client-facing discovery and consultation, resulting in selling through multi-channel and product solutions that meet business needs
- Experience supporting go-to-market efforts for new products or customer segments without a playbook
