The Role
The Product Lead, Monetization at Square is responsible for driving the adoption of SaaS and banking products among sellers, increasing processing volume and revenue. The role involves developing monetization strategies, optimizing onboarding experiences, and collaborating across multiple teams to enhance product adoption and growth.
Summary Generated by Built In

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
Square is on a mission to make commerce easy and accessible for businesses of all sizes. The Monetization team plays a critical role in this mission by increasing the adoption and utilization of Square's paid offerings-including SaaS products (e.g., Square Loyalty, Staff Management) and banking products (e.g., Square Checking, Debit Cards).
As Product Lead, Monetization, you will be responsible for expanding seller adoption of these products, increasing processing volume, and driving incremental revenue for Square. You will build seamless product experiences that help sellers succeed while ensuring Square's monetization strategy drives long-term value.
This is a senior leadership role that requires a deep understanding of product growth, monetization strategy, and cross-functional execution. You will work across Product, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, and Data Science to optimize adoption funnels, reduce friction, and unlock new monetization opportunities.
