Product Designer, Items and Inventory

  • Full-time
  • Alternate Location: Denver, United States

Company Description

Square builds common business tools in unconventional ways so more people can start, run, and grow their businesses. When Square started, it was difficult and expensive (or just plain impossible) for some businesses to take credit cards. Square made credit card payments possible for all by turning a mobile phone into a credit card reader. Since then Square has been building an entire business toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square Capital, Square Terminal, Square Payroll, and more. We’re working to find new and better ways to help businesses succeed on their own terms—and we’re looking for people like you to help shape tomorrow at Square.

Job Description

The Items and Inventory teams help sellers create, manage, and track the things they sell. Simple sellers need a simple and straightforward item catalog to help them get started quickly. Complicated sellers need a robust and efficient item catalog to save time and meet their needs. This problem area is important to Square's ecosystem and is dependent on user-centered product designers—that's you! As a product designer on the team, you will create an end-to-end product design approach on features that empower small- to medium-sized businesses and the people behind them. You will guide design execution, improve the seller experience, and work with cross-functional team members (think product manager and engineers).

You will report to a Design Director and work with a team of seven other Product Designers.

This is a remote friendly position. 

Qualifications
