Why Square (Block)

Square builds common business tools in unconventional ways so more people can start, run, and grow their businesses. When Square started, it was difficult and expensive (or just plain impossible) for some businesses to take credit cards. Square made credit card payments possible for all by turning a mobile phone into a credit card reader. Since then Square has been building an entire business toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square Capital, Square Terminal, Square Payroll, and more. We’re working to find new and better ways to help businesses succeed on their own terms—and we’re looking for people like you to help shape tomorrow at Square.

About the role

Company Description 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 through Afterpay, 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. Job Description We are looking for a Customer Support Associate to join the Square Australia Customer Success team. The Customer Success team works with Square sellers (merchants) by phone and email, to solve problems, demonstrate how to get the most out of Square, and always improve our Square products by giving feedback to Square Product teams.

This role can be based in either our Melbourne or Sydney offices through a hybrid of in-office and remote working, but also remotely anywhere on the east coast of Australia. Multiple positions are available. You will:

  • Engage with Square Sellers spending up to 80% of your time managing inbound phone inquiries from Square sellers in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
  • Demonstrate genuine curiosity for people and businesses, maintaining a continuous desire to learn and grow
  • Use creative problem solving skills, utilizing innovative approaches to address seller inquiries, leveraging support from your partners, resources, and team
  • Identify, document, and take ownership of seller issues, ensuring problems are resolved effectively and efficiently
  • Analyze trends and patterns in seller issues and provide recommendations to enhance seller loyalty and overall experience
  • Collaborate and work closely with internal teams, stakeholders, and Square sellers, showing empathy, an openness to diverse perspectives, and a willingness to take principled risks.
  • Be flexible to support sellers of all shapes and sizes, being prepared to occasionally work on public holidays and weekends to support them
