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.

Square’s Customer Empowerment team brings our sellers to the table with legendary experiences that empower entrepreneurial growth and connection. We believe some of the best ideas and strategies for growing a business come directly from our small business community and work tirelessly to elevate them internally and externally. With this in mind, we are committed to turning our seller’s questions into commerce and in making big business ideas every business’ reality.

As Square’s Community Engagement Program Manager, you will help us fulfill our mission by managing programs where business owners from around the world can come together to share ideas, ask questions, solve challenges, and elevate the role of small business owners in our economy. You’ll execute on this vision by leading creative & scalable engagement programs to increase peer to peer connections, conversations, and drive meaningful value for both Seller Community members and Square.

Specifically, you will:

• Execute on the Seller Community engagement strategy, and be responsible for sustaining growth and success through measurable KPIs and qualitative feedback.

• Leverage quantitative and qualitative data to meet and exceed engagement targets. Monitor community health, and design and test relevant interventions as needed to ensure we reach our goals.
• Participate in supporting Community activity outside the scope of Community Engagement. Our team wears multiple hats to solve whatever problems we can to support our sellers.
• Be willing to move beyond the status quo. 😉 Building scalable community programming regularly challenges all team members to think differently, and find better ways to solve problems. We move quickly, and we work with intensity.

• Strong emotional intelligence, that’s balanced by a data-backed, solution-oriented mindset. You’re able to gather quantitative and qualitative data, and distill it into thoughtful opportunity areas and recommended solutions that have clear scope and deliverables.
