Summary

The Team

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 47 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.

We are seeking a highly motivated, deeply experienced and resourceful leader to design, inspire, lead and scale our multi-channel Customer Success organization for Cash App and create the future vision of how we’ll serve customers. You will influence and inspire a team of passionate customer advocates and their leaders, coaching them to success while you help dream up and build out a world class operation. You will define how Cash App will optimize multiple channels, including Social, Lending, Brokerage and Tax Products.

You will set, track, manage and evolve our operational Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) weekly, quarterly and overall, and act as an advocate and leader for our front-line team members, interacting with training, recruiting, analytics, workforce management, Voice of the Customer (VoC), and engineering and technology teams who are critical to making our customers successful. This senior role will be a blend of managing the performance of internal employees and partner performance through influence and motivation.
