Strategic Partnerships Manager, Canada

1 month ago

Canada, CA block.xyz Full time

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

In this role, you will represent Square's brand in Canada and help develop and deploy our Canadian strategy.

  4. Understand Square's company strategy inside and out and communicate the value of Square's brand and product ecosystem.
  5. Build deep relationships with internal and external stakeholders in order to grow Square's relationships with strategic partners.

  7. Work with a broad range of internal global and local team members in Product, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Account Management, and Legal.
Qualifications
