Oakland, United States Block Full time

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.
Job Description
The Strategic Account Management organization is looking for a tenured customer-facing professional to manage relationships with some of Square's largest sellers and grow our Restaurant Strategic Accounts program. This program establishes, retains, and grows Square's most valuable and engaged single-brand sellers.
You will work with business owners and c-level executives to find creative ways for Square's first and third party ecosystem to solve their complex business needs across verticals and channels. You will enable sellers to grow with Square while serving as an upmarket seller advocate to product teams.
The ideal candidate is a consistent over-performer on all key performance metrics in their current role. They engage customers and influence internal stakeholders through excellent storytelling, organization, and persistence. They are comfortable leveraging technical frameworks for product solutions and are strongly tuned into commerce trends. They consistently identify "mutual win" opportunities, while navigating complex projects and negotiations. They are driven by serving customers, can work independently, and thrive in ambiguous environments.
Candidates must be based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
You will:

  • Manage a book of 50 Strategic Food & Beverage Sellers
  • Grow account-based revenue via use-case expansion opportunities, cross-sell opportunities, and customized seller onboarding experiences
  • Identify opportunities for technical Square solutions to address existing customer needs; project manage the execution of these technical solutions in collaboration with cross-functional teams
  • Act as a consultant and partner to high value restaurant sellers to accomplish their goals
  • Partner with Strategic Account Executives on high-growth deals
  • Negotiate pricing for use-case expansion and retention of your sellers
  • Conduct quarterly business reviews
  • Serve as the voice of the upmarket seller with Product Teams
  • Provide white glove client service and troubleshooting to ensure resolution of seller issues
  • Inform operations and program design for this segment at scale


Qualifications

  • 4+ years relevant Account Management experience
  • Experience managing, retaining and growing a book of business
