The Seller Experience team is the glue of our product ecosystem. We are the team that thinks outside of individual products and focuses on the entire experience a seller has in evaluating, signing up for, and using Square. The Seller Experience team is responsible for many of the shared surface areas and platforms that Square's products feed into, such as our public website (square.com), sign-up and onboarding flows, dashboard, setup guides, support channels, and chatbots. We build and pave the sellers' path to getting value from our vast ecosystem of products and services. Our mission is to unify, personalize, and support seller experiences across Square.

We are looking for a Senior Information Architect to join the Seller Experience team. As a senior partner with design and product, you’ll increase findability, comprehension, engagement, support, and retention for our sellers as they navigate our ecosystem of products and services. 

You’ll work across multiple touch points and surfaces to create consistency and usability in content organization, navigational hierarchy, naming, and wayfinding across Square, providing value to our external sellers and clarity for our internal product owners. In short, we’re looking for someone who embraces complexity, identifies patterns, and creates simplicity.
 

You will:

• Audit, assess, and inventory current user-facing information structures across multiple platforms and surfaces, including public web pages, onboarding, Square Dashboard, support queues, Seller Community, and Support Center

• Develop, propose, and implement intuitive user-facing solutions that provide consistency across our ecosystem for product recognition, value, compatibility, pricing, and support

• Create and maintain an information architecture that leads with “jobs to be done” from a seller perspective, including navigation/wayfinding, product adoption, setup, issue resolution, and seller growth 

• Act from a human-centered design perspective, understanding UX fundamentals of product design, content design, and user research 

• Develop and share taxonomies, metadata models, and classification schemas that internally unify siloed product, operations, and content teams

• Collaborate with design and product leaders across the company as an advocate for unified, seamless user experiences based on sound, research-informed information architecture principles

• Solicit and apply metrics, data, design research, user testing, customer support insights, and more to inform your decisions

• Establish an ongoing process for managing and growing a sophisticated and flexible IA that adjusts to varying cycles, user demands, and our needs

You have:

• 7+ years of experience in information architecture, information design, content strategy, or product design with a focus on IA

• Strong writing and language skills, with an understanding of language models, taxonomies, linguistic principles, and AI/ML-driven conversations

• Experience winning the trust, confidence, and commitment of senior leaders and influence their thinking

• Experience  balancing the demands of delivery projects with the need to maintain the integrity of target information architecture

• Deep familiarity with process cycles for product, design, operations, content, and tech teams

• Working knowledge of common project management tools (Asana, G Suite, etc.)

• Demonstrated skill in working across multiple concurrent workstreams
