Product Manager, Business Identities

Square builds common business tools in unconventional ways so more people can start, run, and grow their businesses. When Square started, it was difficult and expensive (or just plain impossible) for some businesses to take credit cards. Square made credit card payments possible for all by turning a smartphone into a credit card reader. Since then Square has been building an entire business toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square Terminal, Square Appointments, Square Online Store, and more. We’re working to find new and better ways to help businesses succeed on their own terms—and we’re looking for people like you to help shape tomorrow at Square.

We are looking for a Product Manager to join our Trusted Identity group for our Business Identities team. Trusted Identity is responsible for onboarding sellers to Square’s payments and financial services. It’s essential that we verify our seller’s identities and that we keep up to date with them as their businesses change and grow. Customers rely on our team to keep track of the sensitive details of their business, to manage who can make changes, and to make it painless to stay within the bounds of the law regardless of how their business evolves. 

The Business Identities team owns building a platform and set of experiences that allow our Sellers businesses – and Square’s understanding of them – to evolve over time. You will help drive a platform product strategy that helps us unlock a dynamic toolkit that allows businesses to start, run, and grow with Square, while helping Square stay within the law and expectations of our partners.

As the product manager for Business Identities, you will lead the direction of your product by setting vision/strategy and partnering with the engineering manager of your sprint team to drive execution. In this role you will champion the voice of our sellers and developers to deliver a reliable, scalable, and delightful identity management experience for Sellers.

You will:

• Run your product like a business: manage the entire product life cycle from ideation, to planning and execution
• Focus the team on the most impactful projects by understanding the jobs to be done, synthesizing those needs into your product roadmap, and defining key metrics
• Manage expectations by communicating progress to stakeholders and partners, as well as negotiating with non-technical stakeholders to ensure we build the right product.
• Align large cross-team projects by driving your team's annual planning process.
• Ensure the health of your product by balancing new features with maintenance and technical debt.

You have:

• 8+ years of product management experience or equivalent
• Passion for our purpose of economic empowerment and innovation on behalf of  our sellers and developers
• An analytical and metrics driven work style that leverages data to make informed decisions
• Great interpersonal and communication skills that shine when you’re talking with a customer or engaging a cross-functional audience
• Natural curiosity, obsession with the details, desire to build the right thing
