Creative Director Jobs in Web3

Company Description

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.

To solve this problem, we expanded into software and built integrated solutions to help sellers sell online, manage inventory, 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.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for a Creative leader who can create a vision and inspire a team to accomplish it; who has a business-first mindset about creative work; and who has a track record of leading happy, effective creative teams with inclusivity and empathy.

You should be experienced in weighing options based on business impact, and focusing on accomplishing business objectives as you give feedback and direction. You should have experience influencing roadmaps and partnering with product marketers (or similar) and senior leadership. You should be confident in navigating complex challenges and have an open mind to non-creative perspectives. This position will report to the Group Creative Director.
