Senior Business Development Representative
Washington, DC job
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, 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.

You will use a data-driven approach to outbound sales that incorporates prospecting, email communication, and calling at scale.
This position is the starting point to many growth opportunities within the Square team. We have designed our program to facilitate career growth. Prior to being promoted into a new role, you have the ability to increase your on target earnings by leveling up within the organization.
You Will
Manage a diverse pipeline of businesses and prioritize outreach to accelerate sales cycles
Reach out to businesses in your pipeline at scale through cold calling, emailing and social selling
Promote urgency through a solutions-based sales approach, identifying challenges with businesses and providing targeted value around how Square can help

Washington, DC job
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, 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.
The Role
Square is looking for a Territory Account Executive to join our newly established field sales organization.

This role requires excellent communication skills, persistence, and a strong ability to build rapport with sellers to negotiate and close complex deals both remotely and in person.
You Will
Sell into your market in-person. You will sell face to face 80% of the time to source leads, perform discovery and demos to generate interest and close deals selling our Square ecosystem
Get to know the active Square Sellers within your community - keep a pulse on their account health and partner with account management and customer support, and generate referrals
Engage and partner with onboarding teams to ensure Sellers are implemented successfully
Build a sustainable, top of funnel pipeline through a combination of tactics - walking your city and performing 50-60 drop-ins a week to prospective sellers, create a referral channel with active Square sellers, strategic partnerships or local community associations
Develop a strong on-hands skill of demo and onboarding of Square hardware and software solutions
Work with our channel sales team to identify complementary partners in your market for referrals and build that referral channel
Cultivate a deep understanding of the business and technology needs of our primary vertical markets (restaurants, retail and services)
Achieve and exceed monthly sales goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) - we are big on metrics
Utilize Salesforce to track, monitor, and report on sales activities, pipeline status, and outcomes
You Have
3+ years of sales experience in a full cycle closing role with field sales experience
Experience exceeding sales targets, selling a diverse ecosystem of products, and closing complex deals
Ability to drive deals independently in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
