Job Description
At Square, Finance & Strategy's mandate is to drive financial and operational decision-making. We have a long track record of investment decisions that have created consistent, strong returns across the business as we've evolved our growth efforts into new channels, new markets and new seller segments.
We are looking for a senior finance leader to run our F&S team that is focused on driving growth within our Health & Beauty and Services verticals. In this role you will partner with the head of Square Audiences and his executive team to (1) help design and execute our growth strategies across product, GTM and operations channels, (2) identify, assess and drive investment strategy and growth opportunities, (3) design the appropriate business measurement and reporting/accountability structures (4) lead and scale a finance team to drive excellent results for the business. You will operate in CFO-like capacity for these business segments, working closely with our Product F&S and GTM F&S teams and their partners on strategy execution.
Our team's core value is trust - we build it by making what is complex simple, and we do it with analysis that is accurate and easy-to-understand. Partners rely on our insights and trust us to help solve all problems - both big and small. We believe good ideas can come from anywhere, and we'll rely on you to work with others, form intelligent opinions, and present your thoughts to decision-makers and company executives.
This position can sit in any US Block office or be 100% remote from any US state with the exception of Alaska.

  • Report to the Head of Finance & Strategy, Audiences

  • Partner closely with the Head of Square Audiences, Head of Square Product/Marketing, Square CFO, Head of Square Sales/AM, Head of Square Customer Success and Head of Square Hardware to build and unify the strategies behind our Square Product and GTM motions. Critical to success in this role will be your ability to work cross functionally with these and other senior stakeholders
  • Drive Square's investment strategy across Product and GTM to drive growth within our Health & Beauty and Service verticals. This will include building frameworks to measure outputs and success and to assess trade-offs across investment opportunities. Success will be measured not only on your ability to help create and execute a unified investment strategy but also on the growth performance of the business
  • Lead and execute all of the financial, strategic and planning processes supporting our verticals including monthly / quarterly performance reviews, Annual Plan and Long Range Planning activities
  • Program and project manage OKRs to deliver near and long term success for the business
  • Drive process excellence in the work of your team and partners, including: (1) overseeing organization-wide planning cycles with complex multiple stakeholder dependencies, (2) work with our Business Intelligence teams to build new metrics and tools for measuring and reporting KPIs and business performance, (3) drive increased efficiency in the processes and output of the F&S team
