JOB DESCRIPTION

Square is looking for a contract copywriter to join our award-winning Creative Team.

You’re conceptual, strategic, and kind. You can share and sell ideas, and you can encourage and help others to do the same.

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

We believe everyone should be able to participate and thrive in the economy, so we’re building tools that make commerce easier and more accessible to all. We started with a little white credit card reader but haven’t stopped there; we’ve been building an entire toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square Capital, Square Online, Square Terminal, and more. We’re empowering the independent electrician to send invoices, setting up the favorite food truck with a delivery option, helping the plant shop pay its employees, and giving the burgeoning restaurant chain capital for a second, third, and fourth location. Let’s shorten the distance between having an idea and making a living from it. Let’s find new and better ways to help businesses of all sizes succeed on their own terms.

At Square, we value diversity and always treat all employees and applicants based on merit, qualifications, competence, and talent. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We will consider qualified applicants with criminal histories in a manner consistent with the requirements of the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance.
