The Business Development Manager will develop and execute partnership strategies, recruit channel partners, and drive product distribution, focusing on measurable growth through the Global Reseller Community.
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 Reseller Channel Partnerships team is responsible for defining, establishing, and scaling Square's growth via channel distribution partners. Reporting to the Head of Reseller Channel Partnerships, we are looking for an experienced business development manager to define and execute Square's partnership strategy with the Global Reseller Community. We view Resellers as a significant, untapped distribution channel for Square, and are looking for someone with the track record and relationships in this space to define and execute our approach. This is a highly visible position, with regular exposure to company leadership.
