Product Manager, Point of Sale Ecosystem

  • Full-time

Company Description

Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. After enabling anyone to take payments 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, offer buy now, pay later functionality through Afterpay, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. 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 in one place. Afterpay furthers our goal to provide omnichannel tools that unlock meaningful value and growth, enabling sellers to capture the next generation shopper, increase order sizes, and compete at a larger scale.

Today, we are a partner to sellers of all sizes – large, enterprise-scale businesses with complex operations, sellers just starting, as well as merchants who began selling with Square and have grown larger over time. As our sellers grow, so do our solutions. There is a massive opportunity in front of us. We’re building a significant, meaningful, and lasting business, and we are helping sellers worldwide do the same.

Job Description

Square has a robust suite of Point of Sale products, including those that are free to get started (Square Point of Sale) and those that are premium solutions that are purpose-built for specific industries like restaurants, retail, and services. Powering all these products is a shared point of sale product-platform team called Point of Sale Ecosystem (aka “XPOS”), who builds common features, UI components, and technical frameworks that are integrated into every Point of Sale product. This approach helps accelerate development and time-to-launch across the full Point of Sale ecosystem and allows Square to offer new features and services to sellers in a scalable and efficient way. The Point of Sale Ecosystem team is a key strategic area of investment for Square and serves a role that we view as critical to Square’s success to growing upmarket.
