The Senior Director will lead the Business Analytics team, driving analytics transformation, optimizing capabilities, and providing strategic insights to executives for data-driven decision-making.
It all started with an idea at Block in 2013. Initially built to take the pain out of peer-to-peer payments, Cash App has gone from a simple product with a single purpose to a dynamic ecosystem, developing unique financial products, including Afterpay/Clearpay, to provide a better way to send, spend, invest, borrow and save to our 50+ million monthly active customers. We want to redefine the world's relationship with money to make it more relatable, instantly available, and universally accessible.
Today, Cash App has thousands of employees working globally across office and remote locations, with a culture geared toward innovation, collaboration and impact. We've been a distributed team since day one, and many of our roles can be done remotely from the countries where Cash App operates. No matter the location, we tailor our experience to ensure our employees are creative, productive, and happy.
The Role
We are seeking an exceptional Senior Director to lead our newly formed Business Analytics team. Reporting to our Business Operations Lead, this executive role sits at the intersection of organizational leadership, business strategy, and technical excellence. You will build and scale the analytics team while serving as a key strategic advisor to executive leadership, ensuring our analytics capabilities drive competitive advantage and business growth across Square, Cash App, and broader Block initiatives. Working directly with C-suite executives, you'll be responsible for developing organizational analytics capabilities, establishing enterprise-wide standards, and supporting data-driven transformation across the company.
