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.

So we expanded into software and started building integrated, omnichannel solutions – to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, offer buy now, pay later functionality through Afterpay, 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.

We are looking for a Senior Product Designer to join the Square Ecommerce team, working on Square Online’s Shopping & Checkout experience. Reporting to the Design Lead, you will think deeply and strategically, accomplish high-quality design work, and have the opportunity to create impact for millions of small businesses around the world.

This will include working on the end-to-end shopping & checkout experience that customers at a Square Online store will interact with, as well as addressing challenges a business owner might face while getting started, setting up, launching, and managing their online store. Ecommerce is an essential part of Square's ecosystem, and you will guide the product's design and approach on features and services that empower small- and medium-sized businesses and the people behind them.

We believe in generalists at Square, and our Product Designers take projects from napkin sketches to final visual specifications. Day-to-day responsibilities include: determining strategy and implementing it, balancing short and long-term goals and priorities, developing alignment with cross-functional partners, and presenting work in design critiques and leadership reviews. This is a multidisciplinary role where you will work with other designers, product editors, analysts and engineers.

For consideration, please submit a link to your portfolio and any relevant passwords

You Will:

• Create ideas and present them to your team to determine strategy and roadmaps
• Question and work with your leadership peers and bring conversations to next steps
• Mentor other designers, provide feedback, and find ways to improve their work
• Guide the vision for the product and achieve it through design explorations, documentation, and presentations to bring the team along
• Know when to bypass minor UX testing and lean on your expertise, but also when to propose initiatives to fill in the gaps
• Use existing design systems and standards and work to improve these systems and standards when necessary
• Determine your point of view of what success means for a given initiative
• Take on complicated projects and seek the information you need to move forward

You Have:

• At least (5-7) years of relevant professional experience
• A portfolio that shows work you were directly responsible for.
• Experience as a primary contributor to multiple high impact projects
