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

As a Supplier Manager on Block's Global Freight & Trade Compliance team, you'll be responsible for managing our global import compliance program across all of Block's Hardware portfolio. You'll own our customs clearance operations and import compliance strategy across all brands.

As our subject matter expert for global import compliance, you'll bring deep industry knowledge and an established network of supplier relationships. You'll quickly assess our current program against industry benchmarks, optimize existing partnerships, and strategically develop new capabilities where needed. Where industry standards don't exist or don't fit Block's unique needs, you'll have the confidence and expertise to define what "good" looks like and establish performance standards that drive results. You'll have the autonomy to implement your vision while protecting Block's brand and partnerships in every market we operate.

You Will

• Design and optimize customs clearance networks for speed, cost, and compliance accuracy
