SMB Account Manager, Outbound

  • 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.

Job Description

As one of Afterpay's SMB Account Managers, you will help drive Afterpay’s continual growth by developing and executing scaled engagement programs for the unmanaged merchants in our SMB portfolio. We’re looking for an outbound calling, sales-focused, engaging Account Manager to engage our diverse unmanaged merchant base, driving retention and growth through outbound data driven campaigns.  

Lastly, and most importantly, we want you to be passionate about Afterpay and what we stand for, for both our merchants and customers.

  • Drive enhanced merchant engagement and GMV growth potential through actively encouraging and supporting merchants to participate in key Afterpay marketing initiatives (Afterpay Day), core SMB campaign activity (e.g. Support Small) and any bespoke activity with a direct GMV target 
  • Ensure technical support queries are promptly resolved either directly or by facilitating via our Merchant Services support team 
  • Ensure unmanaged account rate reviews are promptly actioned in line with the SMB pricing guidelines 
  • Identify and help scale best practices across a variety of areas for small businesses including marketing activities and visual merchandising 
  • Leverage a data-driven approach to identify merchant expansion opportunities across the SMB portfolio, including omnichannel expansion, cross border trade and in-store expansion, and assess the relevancy of any other new Afterpay product initiatives as they launch
