Content Designer, Seller Experience
- Full-time
- Alternate Location: Los Angeles, United States
Company Description
Today, we’re a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex commerce operations, sellers just starting out, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers scale, so do our solutions. We all grow together.
There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a business that is big, meaningful, and lasting. And we are helping sellers around the world do the same.
Job Description
Seller Experience is the glue of our product ecosystem. It is the team that thinks outside of individual products and focuses on the entire experience a seller has when they are evaluating, signing up for, and using Square. Seller Experience owns many of the shared surface areas and platforms that all of Square's products feed into, such as our public website (squareup.com), sign up flows, the Square Dashboard where merchants manage their business, our help and support channels and chatbots, and our product design systems and best practices.
We are looking for an experienced content designer to join the Seller Experience team. You'll report to the content design manager for the Seller Experience team. You'll work with product designers, product managers, researchers, engineering, localization, and legal to increase usability and ease of use across our products. And, you'll have the freedom and independence to bring your own thought processes to grow our discipline within our team and the enterprise.
