Account Management Lead

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
The Global Account Management team is seeking a customer focused leader to manage a team of Account Managers in Canada. We're looking for someone energetic and hands-on, ready to go beyond the typical job description to retain and grow Square's largest Canadian sellers.

You will manage a mixed team of Account Managers, overseeing their portfolio's revenue retention and growth.

You'll also play a key role in partnering with Enablement to shape coaching and training programs for Account Managers and will directly support the team's management of relationships with our largest strategic sellers.
In addition to being a high-performing individual with experience in the SMB or Enterprise segments, you should have a track record of leading teams, coaching and developing talent, leading projects, driving revenue growth, and advocating for customers internally, reporting to the Head of Account Management, CA. You'll lead a team that manages some of Square' Canada's most valuable seller relationships, tackling the unique challenges and opportunities of the CA market to ensure long-term success for our highest-value sellers.
