The Payment Products team makes it possible for any seller to take card payments quickly and easily, and is the catalyst for Square's mission of economic empowerment. We've already helped millions of sellers take their first payment with Square, but we must continue to listen and respond to the next generation of businesses and give them the tools to succeed in a quickly evolving landscape. The scope of your work will include shaping the core experience, introducing new and experimental forms of payment acceptance, and clarifying how to take payments for new and underserved audiences. You will ensure that, at each touch-point of the customer journey, the way we behave, the language we use, and the personality we embody is consistent and true to our brand and mission of economic empowerment. This is a collaborative role and you will partner with other designers, researchers, and product managers. We believe good writing is fundamental to simple experiences, and has a hand in each stage of product development.

We are looking for the first Payment Products Writer and Content Strategist to shape our best-in-class payments experience, communicate wholly new ways to take payments, and help newly forming businesses take their first payment.
