About the role

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.

You will report to the Head of Revenue Strategy & Planning within the Revenue organization. You Will • Lead, coach, and develop a team across business operations, crediting operations, data pipeline management, data quality and audit, process governance, and commission calculation.

This includes quota issuance and rollup to leaders by role, executing credit rules, and processing mid-period adjustments across the go-to-market organization. • Own the data pipelines that move quota, crediting, and revenue data between systems such as Looker, Salesforce, and Pigment. Maintain the transformation logic that powers them, and research and resolve data issues when they arise. • Administer and improve our sales compensation tech stack: Pigment for ICM and quota issuance, and Salesforce as our system of record.
