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.

• 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, and 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:

• 5+ 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
