Block, Inc
Strategy & Operations Lead, Global Ecosystem Sales
Block, Inc, La Canada Flintridge, CA
It all started with an idea at Block in 2013. Initially built to take the pain out of peer-to-peer payments, Cash App has gone from a simple product with a single purpose to a dynamic ecosystem, developing unique financial products, including Afterpay/Clearpay, to provide a better way to send, spend, invest, borrow and save to our 50+ million monthly active customers. We want to redefine the world's relationship with money to make it more relatable, instantly available, and universally accessible.
Today, Cash App has thousands of employees working globally across office and remote locations, with a culture geared toward innovation, collaboration and impact. We've been a distributed team since day one, and many of our roles can be done remotely from the countries where Cash App operates. No matter the location, we tailor our experience to ensure our employees are creative, productive, and happy.
The Role
Global Ecosystem Sales is one of the core growth engines for Block's Afterpay & Cash App business. We are building the future of fintech advertising through our Commerce Media Network, Ads, & Affiliates payments businesses.
The Strategy & Operations team develops go-to-market strategy, leads high-priority cross-functional projects, and sets the operating rhythm for the business. We are looking for an experienced Strategy and Operations Lead to build and lead a team driving critical results. The candidate will report to the Head of the Global Ecosystem Sales organization and partner closely with Sales Leadership and cross-functional stakeholders. As the Strategy & Operations lead, you will build go-to-market strategies and deliver recommendations on key decisions to senior leadership. You'll also manage the operational rhythm of the sales team by developing sales tools and driving workflow improvements.
The ideal candidate will have extensive experience managing strategy teams, advising senior leadership, and leveraging quantitative and qualitative information to develop business strategy. This leader should know how to coordinate effectively with internal cross-functional partners and have deep expertise in sales operations, business economics, and P&Ls.
