• Establish and manage a consistent operating cadence across the team, including forecasting, pipeline reviews, performance inspection, coaching rhythms, capacity planning, and monthly/quarterly planning.

• Build scalable systems for hiring, onboarding, ramp, coaching, performance management, and career progression across the BDR organization.

• Translate BD strategy into clear team priorities, expectations, and actions that drive consistent execution across managers, reps, markets, campaigns, and seller segments.

• Execute outbound and self-sourcing strategies that help Square reach high-potential sellers across priority verticals, geographies, and segments.

• Partner closely with Sales leadership to align BD execution with revenue targets, territory strategy, AE capacity, pipeline needs, and market opportunities.

• Work cross-functionally with Marketing, Revenue Operations, Enablement, Analytics, Product Marketing, and Strategy to improve lead quality, messaging, routing, reporting, tooling, seller engagement, and funnel conversion.

• Use data to identify performance trends across managers, reps, markets, campaigns, lead sources, and seller segments, then turn those insights into coaching, process improvements, and execution plans.

• Establish a clear performance management framework that connects activity, meetings, qualified opportunities, pipeline value, AE acceptance, stage progression, and closed revenue contribution.

• Improve team productivity through effective use of sales technology, automation, prospecting tools, funnel management practices, and coaching workflows.

• Identify opportunities to use AI, automation, data enrichment, and sales engagement tools to improve account prioritization, prospecting quality, personalization, coaching, and rep productivity.

• Pilot new outbound plays, cadences, messaging, tools, and workflows; measure results and scale what works across the US BDR organization.

• Hire, onboard, and retain high-performing BDR talent while supporting clear career progression into Account Executive, Account Management, Sales Leadership, and other roles within Square Sales.

• Build a culture of accountability, urgency, curiosity, inclusion, high standards, and continuous improvement.
