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.

You will set the vision for how partners expand Square's reach and capabilities, lead a team of business developers and partner managers, and drive m
