Senior Product Designer

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer based in Japan to lead the design strategy and execution for one of Square's most dynamic and unique international markets. This is a rare opportunity to create original, market-first experiences rooted in the specific needs, behaviors, and expectations of Japanese sellers - and to influence global product thinking in the process. You will oversee design decisions that directly influence the development of our products, from core features to experimental projects. We value T-shaped individuals who can contribute to each stage of product development while also diving deep into specific areas of expertise. This role is not about simply localizing a global product, it's about innovating from within the Japanese market to shape what "best-in-market" looks like. The work you do here may inform product direction across Square's global ecosystem. You will hold the highest standards for design, contributing to product strategy for Japan in alignment with Square's overall global direction. You will propose and evaluate impactful initiatives, promoting them across the organization and implementing them from ideation through to release. You'll partner closely with PMs, engineers, marketers, analysts, and in-country experts to research, prototype, and launch high-impact, remarkable, and delightful experiences. You'll also take a hands-on role in customer discovery and product research and story-tell learnings to global teams, given the need to deeply understand seller expectations in Japan - where business norms and customer behaviors differ significantly from those elsewhere. You'll surface insights that shape strategy not just for Japan, but for Square as a whole. You'll report to the Design Lead for International and play a critical role in our globally distributed design team.
