Senior Strategic Account Manager, Square London, UK in City of London

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.

The Account Management organization is looking for a tenured account manager, consultant, or sales professional with experience managing high-value technical accounts to help retain and grow Square's presence in the Mid-Market space across the UK. You will work with top C-level executives and technical leaders, finding creative ways to make Square's ecosystem work in complex, global organizations. You will identify ways to expand Square's reach with customers and act as an internal advocate for Square's highest-value clients.

The ideal candidate will have worked in Mid-Market Account Management, business development, consulting, partnerships, sales or sales engineering and will be well-versed in working with and presenting to senior decision makers, including C-level executives, IT, finance and operations. They will have experience managing projects with multiple company partners on behalf of customers. Internally at Square, you will work in collaboration with product, engineering, finance, implementation, marketing, legal and sales to ensure successful establishment and growth of our customers. You will report to the Head of Account Management, UK. This role can be remote, preference for key city location.

• Partner with sales colleagues to establish and grow newly on-boarded, high-value customers.
• Be the "voice of the seller" curating analysis of product performance from your managed book and provide relevant feedback to inform product roadmap decision-making.
• This role will require travel to visit our customers on site.

You Have:

• 5+ years experience in account management, business development, consulting, partnerships, sales or sales engineering focused on technical products.
• Experience achieving revenue metric goals related to growth and churn prevention.
