Implementation Specialist

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's Global Seller Onboarding (GSO) team works directly with merchants (we call them Sellers) and internal teams to implement Square's products and services. GSO Implementation Specialists work closely with Sales & Account Management teams as well as Product Specialists and Product Marketing Managers to deliver a seamless and exceptional Seller experience and give key input into the product roadmaps for customer-facing developer products. Additionally, Implementation Specialists play a key role in discovery and participate in the final stages of the sales process when working with Square's Enterprise Sellers, leveraging cross-functional teams to successfully implement and activate new accounts.
GSO Implementation Specialists manage the final stages of the sales funnel, working with merchants in the UK to drive a closed deal through to activation and accelerate the onboarding process. Implementation Specialists use deep product and industry knowledge to project manage the onboarding stage of the sales process. They'll be responsible for guiding Sellers through the onboarding journey and ensuring that Sellers' accounts are optimally configured and their users are educated, set up & trained to leverage the potential of Square's platform. They are instrumental in ensuring the documentation and tracking of feature requests to inform future product roadmaps. This is a customer-facing role that involves a combination of remote and onsite merchant interactions.
A successful Implementation Specialist will: (1) provide an incredible onboarding experience for Sellers, (2) accelerate the sales cycle by specialising onboarding and training, (3) develop new efficiencies to shorten the onboarding sales stage, and (4) support Square's international expansion efforts in Europe.
We offer remote working within London and surrounding areas.
