Job Description
We are looking for a Senior Product Designer to join the Square Ecommerce team, working on Square Online’s Shopping & Checkout experience. Reporting to the Design Lead, you will think deeply and strategically, accomplish high-quality design work, and have the opportunity to create impact for millions of small businesses around the world.
This will include working on the end-to-end shopping & checkout experience that customers at a Square Online store will interact with, as well as addressing challenges a business owner might face while getting started, setting up, launching, and managing their online store. Ecommerce is an essential part of Square’s ecosystem, and you will guide the product’s design and approach on features and services that empower small- and medium-sized businesses and the people behind them.
We believe in generalists at Square, and our Product Designers take projects from napkin sketches to final visual specifications. Day-to-day responsibilities include: determining strategy and implementing it, balancing short and long-term goals and priorities, developing alignment with cross-functional partners, and presenting work in design critiques and leadership reviews. This is a multidisciplinary role where you will work with other designers, product editors, analysts and engineers.
