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.

As Product Manager for the Home & Repair Audience, you’ll help build the strategy for how Square better serves Home & Repair sellers. You’ll optimize the end-to-end experience for these sellers to make sure they’ll be successful with the entire Square ecosystem of products. You’ll deeply understand the unique challenges and needs of this sector and aim to improve Square's functionality specifically for these businesses. You will play a pivotal role in shaping the direction of our payments and remote sales workflow solutions, ensuring they align with market demands and offer a seamless experience for both sellers and buyers.
