It all started with an idea at Block in 2013. Initially built to take the pain out of peer-to-peer payments, Cash App has gone from a simple product with a single purpose to a dynamic ecosystem, developing unique financial products, including Afterpay/Clearpay, to provide a better way to send, spend, invest, borrow and save to our 50+ million monthly active customers. We want to redefine the world's relationship with money to make it more relatable, instantly available, and universally accessible.
Today, Cash App has thousands of employees working globally across office and remote locations, with a culture geared toward innovation, collaboration and impact. We've been a distributed team since day one, and many of our roles can be done remotely from the countries where Cash App operates. No matter the location, we tailor our experience to ensure our employees are creative, productive, and happy.
The Role
The North American Mid-Market Account Management team at Block is responsible for driving post-sales revenue to Block's core businesses (Afterpay, Cash App) through commerce, giving our Merchant partners access to the largest and most engaged network of next generation consumers.
We are looking for a high-energy, dynamic and strategic Mid-Market Account Manager to build and execute the strategy behind Block's post-sales revenue expansion for some of our largest merchants. The core purpose of the Mid-Market group is to grow and retain the Mid-Market portfolio, which will meaningfully impact Block's business by increasing gross profit/revenue, delivering new customers, and signaling the Afterpay & Cash App brand strength to the market.
As Mid-Market Account Manager you will be responsible for managing a book of business of strategic accounts. Beyond ultimately being responsible for revenue outcomes across your portfolio, you will be responsible for deepening relationships and ensuring long-term mutual success and retention.
