Product Lead, Access and Security

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
Cash App's top strategic business priority is trust. Building deep trust with our customers allows us to deepen our financial relationship with them, introduce them to new products, increase our share of wallet for each service, and expand our customer base.
As a Product Lead on the Access team, you will own account sign-up, login, and security features. You will be responsible for the team's vision, strategy, roadmap prioritization, and customer and business impact and will drive high-impact initiatives from inception through execution. These are foundational user experiences and services that enable access to Cash App products, so providing an excellent end-to-end experience is of utmost importance. This role will require optimization of current features through customer research, analysis, experimentation, and product validation, as well as the creativity to dream up and build new features to improve our user experience to expand financial access to millions of customers around the world.
