The Channel Partnership Manager will onboard and support Independent Contractors, ensuring they are equipped to bring new sellers to Square through training and resource provision, while managing contract queries and performance monitoring.
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
The Channel Partnership Manager, Independent Contractors will be the primary support and relationship owner for Square's network of Independent Contractors across the UK. This role is entirely focused on ensuring these contractors are successfully onboarded, well-equipped to bring new sellers to Square, and supported with all operational and administrative needs. You will manage the contractor onboarding process, provide ongoing enablement, and act as the first point of contact for all contractor queries-covering topics such as onboarding, program processes, invoicing, residuals, and seller acquisition support. This role reports to the Head of Channel Sales, working remotely within the UK.
