Senior Product Manager, Inventory

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
We're looking for a sharp, strategic Product Manager to own the strategy and roadmap on the Square Inventory team-the operational core for how Retail and Food & Beverage sellers run their businesses.
You'll lead a cross-functional team building end-to-end inventory workflows: ordering, receiving, tracking across locations, selling, and surfacing actionable insights. This isn't just back-office tooling-it's daily-use, mission-critical infrastructure for hundreds of thousands of sellers.
In this role, you'll drive both 0→1 and 1→n product bets, define long-term platform strategy, and partner tightly with design, engineering, and go-to-market to launch scalable, intuitive experiences that help sellers grow faster and operate more efficiently.
