Global Head of Organic Discovery, Square

Join to apply for the Global Head of Organic Discovery role at Square
.

Since we opened our doors in 2009, the world of commerce has evolved immensely, and so has Square. We started enabling anyone to take payments and never miss a sale, then expanded into software and built integrated, omnichannel solutions—helping sellers sell online, manage inventory, offer buy now, pay later functionality, book appointments, engage loyal buyers, and hire and pay staff. We embed 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 as well as merchants just starting. 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, helping sellers worldwide do the same.

This role requires team leadership, strong cross‑functional partnership, and deep expertise with a focus on performance, experimentation, and continuous optimization.
