The Account Manager for SMB will build partnerships with small business clients, advocate for their growth, and drive product adoption through tailored solutions and consultative support.
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
Small businesses fuel Australia's economy - and you'll be the partner that helps them thrive with Square. We're looking for someone with a genuine passion for SMBs, excited by the opportunity to work alongside business owners and champion their growth.
In this role, you'll build meaningful partnerships with clients, understanding their unique needs, crafting tailored solutions, and advocating for them within Square. You'll become a creative problem-solver, finding ways to apply our products to complex business scenarios. As a trusted advisor, you'll support clients day-to-day while uncovering new growth opportunities and expanding partnerships that fuel their success.
Your day-to-day blends high-energy outreach, consultative conversations, and business coaching, with a focus on helping sellers get the most from Square. You'll have autonomy to lead your playbook and influence how Square scales in Australia, delivering tangible results for your merchants.
