  • Clear written and verbal communication and presentation skills, with the ability to make strong arguments supporting Square’s position with internal and external executive stakeholders

  • Demonstrated ability to deal with ambiguity; think strategically and analytically about business, product, and technical challenges; as well as earn trust with and influence others

  • Dexterity and appetite to straddle the roles of relationship manager, program manager, and analytics manager, interrogating new payment network rules, contract changes, and working with account managers at banks and network partners

Nice to have:

  • Knowledge or willingness to develop deep data analytics skills and program manage complex projects.

  • Experience with the regulatory environment and operational requirements within the market

  • Understanding of the PSP business model, acquiring, issuing and payment network rules preferred.
