The Role
The ESO Technical Project Manager leads the onboarding of enterprise sellers, ensuring a smooth activation process through cross-functional collaboration, project management, and technical guidance on Square's products and API capabilities.
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
The Enterprise Seller Onboarding team partners directly with Square's largest and most complex sellers to ensure they fully realize the value of Square's products and services. As an Enterprise Seller Onboarding (ESO) Technical Project Manager, you will lead the technical onboarding and activation of new enterprise and strategic merchants, delivering a seamless, scalable, and high-quality onboarding experience.

You will work cross-functionally with Sales, Account Management, Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to design and implement complex Square deployments. You'll have a strong ability to discuss API/SDK product capabilities and the technical background to evaluate and discuss third party partner integrations. This role is pivotal to Square's upmarket growth strategy and to shaping the enterprise seller experience from initial solution design through activation.
A successful ESO Project Manager will:
  • Deliver a remarkable onboarding and training experience that drives adoption and long-term seller success.
  • Partner with Account Executives and Account Managers during pre-sale and onboarding to scope projects, validate proposed solutions, and support professional services positioning.
  • Serve as a bridge between enterprise sellers and Product teams, ensuring seller needs meaningfully inform Square's product roadmap.

    • Proactively identify and manage risk throughout the onboarding lifecycle, ensuring consistent stakeholder communication and successful outcomes.
    • Support data entry and data migration activities as part of the onboarding process for select sellers.
