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.

To solve this problem, we expanded into software and built integrated solutions to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, 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.

The Content & Web team is an organic growth engine and a center of excellence for digital experiences and content strategy at Square. We are looking for a strategic and experienced web strategist to join our team. As the first web strategist on the team, you will be creative and balance prioritization of near-term growth, while building the web strategy practice with a long-term view.

This includes partnering with our Seller Experiences team to contribute to work streams across core web pages like the homepages and pricing pages. It also includes leading work within the Content & Web team — from testing and optimization of our content hub to development of organic growth projects like calculators and other interactive tools.

Across projects, you will ensure marketing and business goals are met through our web properties — managing and driving success metrics for the most impactful areas of Squareup.com. You'll do this through a data-driven process; quantitative and qualitative.
