## Description

The Opportunity

The North American Sales team at Block is responsible for driving 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 Account Executive to forge and expand Block's relationships with mid-size brands, unlocking new revenue opportunities across our expanding portfolio of payments products.

Responsibilities:

- Be the Voice of Block: Represent Block to high-growth SMB & Mid-Market Merchants as a thought-leader in the payments landscape and demonstrate Block's value as a growth driver for our prospective partners

- Quarterback Deals: Be responsible for leading commercial negotiations and execution for the Block organization with a focus on partner alignment on opportunities of mutual interest, with a goal of optimizing revenue potential

- Operate with Velocity: Utilize a high-energy, fast-paced approach to identify, negotiate, and close deals quickly and efficiently, while maintaining a focus on driving revenue and building long-term partnerships

- Pipeline Management: Maintain a robust sales pipeline by utilizing CRM tools to track and forecast sales activities, ensuring a steady stream of business and accurate reporting

- Craft Deal Strategy: Develop and pitch powerful sales narratives that educate prospective partners of Block's value proposition. Effectively convey and communicate value to senior decision makers externally

- Build Block's Network: Develop and grow Block's relationships with leading brands, including their senior executives

- Be a Team Player: Partner closely with cross-functional teams to drive deals forward, including Marketing, Finance, Product, Risk, Legal, Operations, Customer Service; and with external partners' cross-functional executives

Qualifications:

- 4+ years experience in full sales cycle/closing role, preferably in a fast-moving technology company (financial services company experience strongly preferred but not required)

- Demonstrated ability of meeting and exceeding sales targets

- Strong operational acumen and ability to manage a high volume sales pipeline

- Superior verbal and written communication skills

- Strong executive presence, with demonstrated ability to influence and earn trust with senior leaders, ask the right questions, and use sound business judgment internally and externally

- A self-starter mentality, where leaning in and wearing multiple hats in a fast-paced, often ambiguous environment is business-as-usual

- A hunger to problem solve with analytical rigor. You're a killer sales person and strategic thinker who comes armed to internal and external conversations with the right data and analysis to make a convincing argument.

- Creative storytelling abilities, able to seek out relevant, meaningful data and build business cases to inform and successfully convey Block's value proposition to prospective partners

The successful candidate's starting pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions.
