Technical Program Manager
- Full-time
Company Description
We started with a simple idea—that everyone should be able to accept credit cards—and we’ve been rethinking buying and selling ever since.
For sellers, we’re creating one cohesive service to run your entire business, from a register in your pocket to analytics on your laptop. For buyers, we’re making it faster to order from the businesses you love and more fun to pay your friends back.
Buying and selling sound like simple things—and they should be. Somewhere along the way, they got complicated. We’re working hard to make commerce easy for everyone.
Job Description
Square's purpose is economic empowerment. At the heart of commerce lies the ability to exchange value for goods and services. The Payments team at Square is responsible for building products that help buyers and sellers exchange value. A Technical Program Manager (TPM) within Payments at Square plays a critical role ensuring the success of complex, cross-functional technical projects typically led by Payments but requiring involvement from multiple stakeholders.

As a TPM, you will:
Be responsible for the success of technical projects from start to finish
Be the connector for product, engineering, analytics, and business operations through the entire project lifecycle
Facilitate and manage technical projects, gather requirements, develop and track project milestones, estimate work efforts and manage competing priorities
Highlight risks and clearly communicate those risks to stakeholders
Identify blockers and facilitate the removal of those blockers
Manage communication of progress/status with the Payments team, executives and other project stakeholders
Qualifications
You have:
A Bachelor's Degree, ideally in a technical discipline with 4+ years of experience managing large cross-functional engineering projects at a fast-paced, high-growth company in any industry
