What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Manager, Orders- Checkout position at Square?
Company Description
Since we first opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely – and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take a payment 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, run a busy kitchen, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. And 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 all in one place.
Today, we’re a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex commerce operations, sellers just starting out, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers scale, so do our solutions. We all grow together.
There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a business that is big, meaningful, and lasting. And we are helping sellers around the world do the same.
The Orders team oversees the platform that powers all sales and order management at Square. The team is also responsible for the order management and checkout experiences on Square's point of sale solutions. As a Product Manager on the Orders team, you will oversee product features from creation through execution.

You will advocate for the voice of our sellers, buyers and developers to provide global checkout experiences that are not just reliable, scalable, and secure, but are a competitive advantage for Square and delightful to use.
