We believe the economy is better when everyone has access. When everyone has room to grow. No one should be left out because the cost is too great or the technology too complex. We started with a little white credit card reader but haven’t stopped there. We’re empowering the independent electrician to send invoices, setting up the favorite food truck with a delivery option, helping the ice cream shop pay its employees, and giving the burgeoning coffee chain capital for a second, third, and fourth location. We’re here to help sellers of all sizes start, run, and grow their business—and helping them grow their business is good business for everyone.

Growth and Retention Marketing provides platform services like notifications to power product functionality, operations, analytics and targeting tools to grow and retain customer bases, and automation / optimization of these activities through data science and machine learning. The platform plays an important role in balancing two evergreen objectives: maintaining our customers' trust and growing the Square ecosystem. As a Product Analyst supporting this group, your role will be a hybrid of traditional roles in product analytics, product marketing, and business intelligence. You will need to synthesize trends and insights through the vast amount of data captured by Square, and develop actionable strategies to grow Squares sellers and their engagement with Square products through the platform. 

Product Analysts at Square are embedded within product and platform teams and leverage engineering, analytics, and machine learning to empower data-driven decision making in the full lifecycle of product development. As a member of the team, you will lead experimentation and growth initiatives, develop automation solutions to personalize experiences, provide insights to our sellers about their business, and drive strategic decisions with data. Square’s mission is economic empowerment, and our Product Analytics team supports this by using data to understand and empathize with our customers, thereby enabling us to build a remarkable product experience.
