Finance and Strategy Manager, Square Banking

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 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 Manager to serve as the CFO-like partner for Square Banking's Cash-Flow 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 the ability to navigate ambiguity, and the confidence to drive change even when playbooks don't yet exist.
Candidates can sit in any Square office in the US or be remote from any US state with the exception of Alaska.
You Will

• Partner closely with Square Banking teams to lead financial strategy and analysis across Cash-Flow products (Debit, Checking, Savings, Instant Transfer). Drive planning, forecasting, and performance insights while shaping a clear, data-informed narrative to support strategic decision-making.
• Lead strategic planning by translating market trends, competitive intelligence, and internal data into investment theses and product priorities.
• Directly influence product strategy and insights that drive long-term growth
• Model unit economics and scenario analyses that clarify trade-offs and unlock new revenue or margin opportunities.
• Distill complex findings into concise narratives and visualizations for executive-level decisions.
• Drive cross-functional projects (Marketing, Product, Business Intelligence, Risk, Legal) from problem framing through recommendation and execution.
• Champion rigorous analytics, building dashboards, SQL queries, and automated reporting to surface insights at scale.
• Work independently while collaborating across teams to translate complex data into clear, actionable insights that drive informed decision-making.
• Mentor teammates and help evolve Finance & Strategy best practices across Block

You Have

• 4+ years in corporate or strategic finance, investment banking, private equity, or management consulting (tech or financial-services focus is a plus).
• Demonstrated curiosity: you probe beneath the surface and connect seemingly disparate data to form a strategic point of view.
• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders through crisp storytelling and data-driven recommendations.
• Mastery of Excel / Google Sheets and comfort with SQL (or willingness to deepen skills quickly).
• Track record of operating autonomously: defining problems, structuring analyses, and driving to outcomes without clear precedent or a defined playbook.
• Experience leading projects with multiple cross-functional partners in fast-paced environments.
• Passion for Block's broader purpose of Economic Empowerment and a commitment to building inclusive financial products.
