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, 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 Role

The Local Services team builds for the needs of sellers who sell their time and expertise. We ensure that our products are remarkable for Services, the largest seller base by count and GPV for Square. This team looks after the largest non-POS surfaces for Square including Invoices, Appointments and Virtual Terminal to help them from first inquiry to booking to payment to re‑engagement with a customer.

We're looking for a designer with deep reserves of curiosity, optimism, and taste to partner closely with design, product and engineering talent on our team and across the company. You're at home when cutting through complexity, embodying the voice of the seller, and inspiring others through your vision of what's possible. As one of the most senior designers on the team, you'll lead bigger projects from vision to shipped product, while raising the bar of execution and ambition.

You Will

• Collaborate with Designers, Product Managers, Engineers, and Data Scientists to shape a vision and roadmap that up-levels the quality of the product experience for our customers
• Propose design and product opportunities, promote them across the organization, and own projects from concept through release
• Promote design excellence through mentorship, feedback, and knowledge sharing
• Maintain a principled, customer-centric approach throughout each project, using data, insights, and experience to inform decisions
• Experiment with new design tools, methodologies, and approaches to improve the design process and inspire creativity
• Foster a culture of experimentation and creativity, and build connections across teams and disciplines
  
  

You Have

• 12+ years of relevant Product design experience
• A portfolio demonstrating exceptional UX craft, vision, systems design, and prototyping skills
• Experience as an influential design leader who ships impactful, strategic work—including multi-year visions to iterative releases
• Strong design point of view and understanding of how to balance the needs of the customer with that of the business
• Excellent storytelling skills, and a 'show don't tell' approach to aligning teams around a shared vision
• A strong drive to continuously learn and grow, particularly in leveraging AI and emerging technologies to enhance workflow efficiency and optimize team processes
