Toronto, Canada Afterpay 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.

We are looking for an experienced business development manager to join our Partnerships team in Canada. In this role, you will represent Square's brand in Canada and help develop and deploy our Canadian strategy. Responsibilities include scoping out potential partnerships, negotiating contracts, building and growing deep relationships with external parties.

You will be very comfortable interacting, presenting to, and persuading executives both internally and externally to help accomplish Square's long-term vision. Reporting into the Head of Canada Partnerships, you will be part of a team that is motivated and optimistic, that embraces change and sees learning opportunities in business challenges.

**You Will**:
- Be responsible for the full partner lifecycle. You will source, sign, and manage partners end to end that will drive Square's growth in Canada-
- Take responsibility for our relationships with a broad set of partners that will include large strategic opportunities with major organisations (banks, telecommunication providers, trade associations, wholesalers and more), as well scaling our partner program for independent software and service providers, consultants and advisors-

- Build deep relationships with internal and external stakeholders in order to grow Square's relationships with strategic partners-
- Manage all aspects of the relationship with your partners: from initial scoping and negotiation; to prioritization and execution of strategic projects; financial assessment and forecasting; and ongoing partner management-

- Built successful relationships with external parties; worked with executives and senior leadership to explore new opportunities-
- Managed projects with multiple stakeholders; set clear milestones and hold people (and self) accountable to goals-
