Technical Writer, Customer Operations

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 Content & Knowledge Management Operations (CKMO) team at Square equips both sellers and Customer Success (CS) advocates with technical product documentation, empowering sellers to independently navigate how to start, run, and grow the business of their dreams. Our simple, straightforward, and accurate content empowers sellers with innovative learning experiences to build foundational product, technical, and business knowledge for sustained long-term growth. We answer questions while simultaneously teaching business owners how to maximize their use of Square. Furthermore, the CKMO team develops and manages internal procedures for CS advocates to support sellers when they need additional account support.
