The Role

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.
To solve this problem, we expanded into software and built integrated solutions to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, 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 a Business Development Associate (BDA), you will play a pivotal role in initiating contact with potential sellers, advocating for the value of Square in enhancing their business operations.

  • Exceeding Sales Targets: Book outbound sales meetings with Account Executives in order to consistently surpass monthly quotas while promoting urgency in the sales process.
  • Professional Development: Take advantage of frequent learning and development opportunities, coupled with personalized 1:1 coaching, to grow your career in sales within the Square organization.
