Commerce Account Executive
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 12, 2026. First seen by Alion on Sep 29, 2026.
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 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. You will be on the front lines of a fast-growing payments business, responsible for leading commercial negotiations, with a goal of partnering with business owners and executives of high-growth companies.
A successful candidate should thrive in a challenging, fast-paced environment, have a passion for developing client relationships, and exhibit a strong sense of ownership to win new business for Block. You will have a demonstrated ability to operate with velocity, navigate ambiguity, think strategically and operationally about business, and partner closely with cross-functional teams to launch product and commercial initiatives.
We are much more than our job descriptions - we are our energy, our ideas, our everyday drive. Here’s where you will begin…
- 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
Who are you? Like us, you’ll be obsessed with our product. You’ll be energized and inspired seeing and feeling the impact of your work as more people gain financial freedom and access across the globe.
You will have….
- 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
