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: Square is seeking Head of EMEA Partnerships to design, negotiate, and scale global partnerships that fuel Square seller acquisition, retention and business growth across the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, and Spain. Partners include referral networks, distributors, service providers, technology platforms, and strategic ecosystems where there's mutual benefit through lead generation, co‑sell, co‑marketing, and product enablement. This is a highly visible role at the intersection of business development, growth, product, and go‑to‑market strategy. You will set the vision for how partners expand Square's reach and capabilities, lead a team of business developers and partner managers, and drive measurable growth outcomes for the business.
You Will:
- Strategy: Lead executive‑level negotiations and close deals that advance our capabilities and growth.
- Growth Accountability: Deliver measurable results in lead generation, seller acquisition, and pipeline contribution through strategic partnerships.
