About The Position

Block is looking for a lead for our global Technical Account Management (TAM) team supporting Cash App Pay, Afterpay, and Clearpay merchants. This team keeps merchants healthy and growing through post-sales technical partnership that protects performance, surfaces opportunity, and drives commercial outcomes. You will lead a distributed team of Technical Account Managers across the US, UK, and Australia who serve as trusted technical partners to our largest merchants. Your team sits at the intersection of product, engineering, solutions engineering, GTM, and merchant success, combining deep product and technical expertise with commercial acumen to drive merchant growth and retention. This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll contribute directly to strategic accounts while leading the team. You will set the vision and strategy for the TAM function globally, define how the team measures success, build strong cross-functional partnerships with Sales, Account Management, Solutions Engineering, Product, and Engineering, and develop an effective, collaborative team that operates with autonomy and accountability.

Requirements

Significant experience in technical account management, solutions engineering, customer success, or technical program management within payments, fintech, e-commerce, or SaaS
Experience leading and managing people, including distributed or global teams
A track record of building and scaling technical post-sales functions - including close collaboration with Solutions Engineering and pre-sales teams - that drive measurable commercial outcomes
Technical fluency across payments infrastructure, APIs, integrations, and e-commerce platforms. You're comfortable engaging with both merchants and engineering teams.
Experience defining team strategy, setting KPIs, and building performance measurement in environments where success is not easily quantified by ticket volume alone
Ability to build cross-functional partnerships with GTM, Product, and Engineering at leadership levels
Experience working across multiple regions and navigating the complexity of global markets with different products, regulations, and merchant needs
Experience managing through organizational change - building team culture, refining operating models, and creating clarity in ambiguous environments
Strong communication skills. You can represent your team's work and impact to leadership, articulate strategy clearly, and advocate for resources and investment.
