The Cash App Boost Offers + Ads team is in charge of building and innovating on Cash App’s current Boost Ads Product, and future ads products. We see a powerful opportunity to create a flywheel where we connect Square, AfterPay, and Cash App’s rich networks of sellers and businesses to Cash App’s 53+ million active customers. This is a powerful connective tissue between Jack Dorsey’s Ecosystems being built within Block.

Our first product is the beloved Cash App Boost program that rewards consumers when they make purchases in our network of merchants using the wildly popular Cash Card and other payment methods. There are many challenging problems innovating and scaling this product out.

With the acquisition of AfterPay, our network, capabilities and opportunities expand, and the team is in charge of inventing the future of connecting sellers and buyers together. What products can we imagine that take advantage of our huge network of consumers? How do we take advantage of our local networks? How do we create ROI for merchants in ways that weren’t possible before?

This is an exciting and rare opportunity to join the early stages of Block’s Ad ecosystem as we think about the right systems we need to tie our ecosystems together across Square, Cash App, and Afterpay. You’ll get to build various high growth + impactful projects. How do we help businesses across our ecosystem to connect with people in meaningful ways that benefits both people and businesses?
