Growth Project/Program Manager

  • Full-time

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.

Job Description

The Automation organization is a large cross-functional team at Square that accelerates our sellers’ path to value realization by reducing friction and cost and increasing personalization across customer interfaces. To accomplish this goal, we have created a Square-wide Task Force aimed at looking at and optimizing our conversion funnels end to end. Through this holistic view, the goal is to be able to quickly identify opportunities in our funnel to fix or optimize, work with the responsible parties to take action, and in turn improve net conversions and revenue into our ecosystem. 

We are looking for a project/program manager and analytical problem solver to join our team and help to scale the impact of this Task Force. In this role, you will program manage the Task Force. This includes managing the cadence of the analytical business reviews, working with review contributors to coordinate content, and working cross functionally with product, engineering, and growth owners across the company to turn insights into actionable tactics.

You will:

  • Manage the cadence and mechanisms of the Conversion Task Force program
  • Work with contributors in and outside of your immediate team to plan and sequence work, gather updates, and communicate outcomes
  • With insights that surface from the Task Force, partner with responsible owners and help them turn insights into deliverables and impact
  • Lead efforts to improve operational processes on the team, including defining performance metrics, improving efficiency of  team operations, and increasing effectiveness of the review process and task force

Qualifications

You have:

  • Experience with agile project management methodologies and best practices in project management and process improvement
  • Experience in running marketing or growth programs
  • Understanding of customer funnel and stages (awareness, consideration, conversion, retention, advocacy)
  • Strong analytical abilities and proficiency with Excel/Google Sheets, Powerpoint/Google Slides

  • Excellent communication and presentation skills
  • Great problem-solving and research skills; ability to identify and seek required information independently
