The Role

Square is expanding its financial‑services footprint through new product launches and international growth. Our Square Banking business—capturing Loans, Checking, Savings, Debit Card, and Instant Transfers—sits at the heart of that mission by helping sellers manage their cash flow needs and move their money with confidence.

We’re looking for a Finance & Strategy Senior Manager to serve as the CFO‑like partner for Square Banking’s products. You will combine deep analytical rigor with strategic vision to guide investment decisions, shape product roadmaps, and influence senior leaders across Product, Engineering, Design, and Go‑to‑Market teams. Success requires intellectual curiosity, the ability to navigate ambiguity, and the confidence to drive change even when playbooks don’t yet exist. This role requires an experienced people leader who can guide, develop, and inspire a medium‑sized team of high‑performing finance professionals to deliver analytical rigor and strategic insight. You will report to the Director of Strategic Finance for Square’s US Payments and Banking products.
