About the role

A successful candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, brings a well-formed point of view on how a modern sales development function should be structured and scaled, and pairs that with the judgment to understand an existing motion deeply before evolving it. You are fluent in the measures that genuinely predict pipeline your sales teams convert rather than the activity metrics that are easiest to report, and you are comfortable building the reporting and inspection rigor that a global function requires.

What they're looking for

  • An obsession with our products and a motivation fueled by feeling the impact of your work as more consumers build financial wellness with Cash App & Afterpay

  • Strong partnership instincts with marketing, particularly on lead flow, qualification standards, and handoff design
  • Strong executive presence, with demonstrated ability to influence and earn trust with senior leaders, ask the right questions, and use sound business judgment

The opportunity in front of us is to bring these teams together into a single global function and scale what is already working: shared standards where they help, one consistent view of performance, and the compounding advantage of teams learning from each other rather than solving the same...
