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 seeking a Senior Partnerships Manager to develop and own a portfolio of Square's strategic partners in Australia. This role reports to the Partnerships Lead, APAC.
The role will involve designing, negotiating, and scaling partnerships for Australia as the primary focus, but with a view to install best practices globally where opportunities present themselves. This is primarily a Business Development role, though deep expertise in partner management is required. Partners within the Australian portfolio include referral networks, distributors, service providers, technology platforms, and strategic ecosystems where there's mutual benefit to sellers through lead generation, co-sell, co-marketing, and product enablement. You'll use your deep payments knowledge and creativity to land win-win deals across all partner types. This is a senior individual contributor role at the intersection of business development, growth, product, and go-to-market strategy. You will set the vision for your assigned partner portfolio. You will then work globally and cross-functionally, using your payments and relationships expertise to turn your vision into business outcomes. Key
