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

The Experiential Marketing and Events team drives awareness and acquisition of Square's products through live events, trade shows, conferences, and community partnerships. As an Experiential Marketing Coordinator, you'll provide hands-on support for the execution and delivery of local event programs, working closely with internal and external partners to ensure a seamless attendee experience. You'll report to the Head of Experiential Marketing and will assist with all aspects of event coordination, gaining exposure to the full event lifecycle—from planning to onsite support and post-event reporting. This is an ideal role for someone passionate, resourceful, and ready to grow their career in experiential marketing while learning established best practices in a collaborative team environment.
