Product Manager: Square for Franchises

  • Full-time

Company Description

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.

Job Description

Square is operated by an incredible team that is on a mission to make commerce easy for all types of businesses. As Square expands to meet the needs of a broader seller base, as well as their employees and buyers, it is critical to invest in value added services that enable these sellers to customize and augment their own experiences with Square Point of Sale. As the Square for Franchises team, we work on making the Square ecosystem scale to meet the needs of our largest customers.

As a Product Manager on our Square for Franchises team, you will develop the strategy, set the roadmap, and determine the requirements — in collaboration with design, engineering, product marketing, and analytics — that drive impact for large organizations running their multi-location businesses using Square. Our approach at Square is both customer-focused and data-driven. You will need to dig in to deeply understand our customers and their needs, define and analyze data, and guide our world-class team to move fast and ship remarkable solutions. You’ll join a fully distributed team with co-workers in Canada, United States, Ireland, and Moldova.

If you’re looking to change the way businesses operate and drive impact at a high-growth company, you will find this role compelling, challenging, and rewarding.
