Lead the design of risk management experiences to help sellers prevent and respond to business risks, collaborating with cross-functional teams.
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, 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.
The Role
The Risk team is looking for a Senior Product Designer to manage end-to-end execution of the experiences that help millions of sellers understand, prevent, and respond to the risks of running a business. We help sellers understand, prevent, and respond to the risks inherent in doing business. Our mission is to build seller trust, protect the Square brand, and decrease all types of fraudulent activity.
We know we can't build remarkable products without compelling design processes and visions; that's where you come in. You'll partner with product managers, data scientists, engineers, and content strategists to define and refine flows for fraud detection, dispute resolution, and real-time risk insights. You'll shape the design vision for critical touchpoints-everything from alert notifications to in-app dashboards-and make decisions that improve speed, clarity, and trust.
You will report to the Risk Design Lead and work on a team of product designers, user researchers, and content designers.
