The Role
As a Business Development Associate at Square, you will engage with various prospective sellers to promote Square's offerings. Responsibilities include managing sales pipelines, reaching out to businesses through cold calling and emails, and working collaboratively with the Sales team to convert prospects into qualified opportunities, while developing your sales skills and achieving sales quotas.
Summary Generated by Built In

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
Square is looking for high-energy, motivated professionals with sound business insight and natural sales instincts. You will be joining our Canada team to help build our Sales Development organization. You will lay the foundation of this sales effort through outbounding to prospective sellers and promoting the value of Square for their business. As a Business Development Representative, you will work with our Sales team to find new merchants that fit the Square ecosystem.
As the first line of contact, you understand the diverse needs of our merchants. You will become an expert in the products and services that enable merchants to grow with the Square ecosystem. You will use your convincing personality and passion for winning to improve the standard of success, documenting and tracking qualified opportunities to pass onto the Account Executive team. You will use a data-driven approach to outbound sales that incorporates prospecting, email communication, and calling at scale.
This position is the starting point to many growth opportunities within the Square team. We have designed our program to facilitate career growth in the BDR direction of choice. Prior to being promoted into a new role, you have the ability to increase your on target earnings by leveling up within the organization.
You Will

  • Manage a diverse pipeline of businesses and prioritize outreach to accelerate sales cycles
  • Reach out to businesses in your pipeline at scale through cold calling, emailing, and social selling
  • Promote urgency through a solutions-based sales approach, identifying challenges with businesses and providing targeted value around how Square can help
  • Grow your career in sales through frequent developmental opportunities and mentorship from the Account Executive team

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.
