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 The B2B Marketing Team is a critical driver of growth for Square. This role is to lead a small but mighty team to drive growth for the Japanese market. Your role will drive growth through supporting our sales GTM motions, including telesales, field sales, resellers, and partnerships. You will ensure excellent execution against different channels such as events, social, content marketing, media and partnerships. You will be responsible for driving growth in sales acquisition and revenue metrics. The role requires strong cross-team collaboration and a generalist knowledge of B2B marketing, in particular lead generation.
