What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Manager, Point of Sale 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.
Square is operated by an incredible team that is on a mission to make commerce easy for all types of businesses, in the US and abroad. As Square's flagship product, Point of Sale is at the heart of this mission, with a team that builds a product that allows sellers to succeed in today's commerce environment, whether they're just starting out or already operating at scale.
As a Product Manager on the team, you will drive impact for the millions of small businesses across the world using our platform to start, run, and grow their business. You will determine the multi-year product strategy for Point of Sale's Core Experience team, coordinating and executing projects, and optimizing the experience for sellers. Our approach at Square is both customer-focused and data-driven. You will need to dig in to understand our customers and their needs, define and analyze data, and guide our team to move fast and ship remarkable solutions.
