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.

Manager, Field Sales

BlockOrange County, CaliforniaFull-time
View Job
Compensation$131K - 196K a year

Leading and managing a field sales team to achieve revenue targets and market share growth in designated cities. | Proven success in high-volume SaaS or financial services sales, with at least 5 years of leadership experience managing large teams, and a track record of creating high-performance sales cultures. | 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 looking for a sales leader to lead our newly established field sales organization. Our goal is to bring a local experience to our Sellers (aka customers/merchants) everywhere. You will engage with our Territory AEs and Sellers in a relevant and authentic way, demonstrate Square's mission of economic empowerment and provide a local presence. You will be responsible for planning, organizing, and leading our field sales teams focused on selling to SMB merchants (less than $50M in revenue) restaurants, retailers and service based businesses in our largest and highest potential markets. This role is a frontline and strategic leadership role where you'll be managing a team of ~8 quota carrying high velocity Territory Account Executives. You will help build a vision and strategy plan for winning market share in your assigned cities. You will collaborate with cross functional partners to build top of funnel leads, referrals, connect with local partners, attend/host local events within your community to generate new business, kickstarting the flywheel and build Square's brand awareness within designated cities. Your leadership will directly help Square drive revenue against our annual sales quotas. Your entrepreneurship spirit will be a valuable contribution to developing Square's sales strategy, increasing the size and impact of the team and establishing a culture of crisp execution. This is a great opportunity to participate in our new phase of growth. Travel minimum of 50% to co-sell with the sales team.

This role operates horizontally across Square. Success depends on your ability to influence without direct authority, align multiple product areas, and turn ambiguity into clear strategic direction. You Will • Product vision and strategy.

Influence roadmaps and priorities beyond your direct org to deliver cohesive end-to-end experiences. • Business and customer outcomes. Be accountable for key business metrics tied to fulfillment and order experiences, including adoption, reliability, efficiency, seller growth, and customer trust. • Strategic tradeoffs. Make principled decisions balancing speed vs. flexibility, local optimization vs. platform leverage, and seller efficiency vs. buyer clarity - and align stakeholders behind those decisions. • Execution at scale. Ensure strategies translate into shipped outcomes. Remove organizational blockers, drive operating cadence, and hold teams accountable for impact. You Have • 10+ years of product management experience, including senior individual contributor and people leadership roles. • Experience leading and developing a team of 5+ Product Managers. • A track record of setting product strategy across multiple time horizons and driving organizational alignment. • Experience owning or influencing a large, complex product portfolio with meaningful business impact. • Strong product and design judgment, with the ability to balance experience quality and operational reality. • Proven ability to drive execution across multiple functions and organizations. • Strong analytical skills and comfort owning metrics tied to business performance. • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to create clarity from ambiguity and influence executive leadership. • Experience in commerce, fulfillment, marketplaces, POS, logistics-adjacent systems, or high-throughput operational products is a plus, but not required.
