About the role

At Square, we’re re-imagining how small and midsize businesses grow. As an Inside Sales Account Executive, you’ll convert high-quality inbound leads into long-term customers — while also sourcing your own opportunities to keep your pipeline full. You’ll be at the heart of our growth engine: fast-paced, metrics-obsessed, and built for people who hold themselves to a higher bar than anyone else will. This is a role for people who don’t wait for direction, don’t make excuses, and don’t settle for “good enough”. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Raise your own bar every quarter - improving conversion rates, deal size, and activity without being asked
  • 2-4 years of inside sales or full-cycle closing experience, ideally in a fast-paced SaaS, payments, or SMB-focused environment
  • Proven ability to exceed quota and close business in a high-volume, short-cycle motion
  • Strong phone, video, and written communication skills — you build trust fast and move deals forward decisively
  • A true hunter mentality - A hunter’s mindset focused on disciplined outbound outreach, allowing you to build and accelerate pipeline independent of inbound demand
  • Curiosity and empathy: you dig into the customer’s business, uncover real needs, and position the right solution with confidence

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,...
