Description

  • Own, design, and continuously evolve Block’s company-wide strategic planning and goal-setting processes.
  • Build and scale tools and resources to improve company-wide processes and operating rhythms (e.g., business reviews, executive meetings, board updates, all‑hands).
  • Translate strategic priorities into a sustainable operating model that leverages automation and tooling for consistent execution at scale.
  • Act as a cross-functional thought partner with senior leaders across Finance, Strategy, Biz Ops, People, and Product to drive alignment and unblock critical decisions.
  • Deliver decision-ready analysis, frameworks, and recommendations that determine resource allocation and headcount strategy.
  • Own executive-level communication of Block’s strategy and progress, crafting clear narratives for the Board, investors, leadership, and employees.
  • Identify, evaluate, and prioritize new business opportunities and risks; develop business cases and ensure smooth execution of approved initiatives.
  • Distill complex, ambiguous concepts into clear, actionable stories that drive understanding, alignment, and action.

Requirements

  • 7–9+ years in corporate strategy, business operations, or consulting with experience operating in complex, cross-functional environments at scale.
  • Proven track record owning (not just supporting) company-wide planning, goal setting, prioritization, and resource allocation processes with clear accountability for outcomes.
  • Hands-on experience using AI to automate work, scale insights, or build repeatable systems.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence and align senior leaders (VP/SVP/C-suite) through judgment, data, and clear communication in ambiguous or high-stakes environments.
  • Comfort navigating disagreement and tradeoffs with senior stakeholders.
  • Exceptional ability to synthesize complex data in SQL or Excel into clear, decision-ready outputs in Google Slides, Figma, or Mode Dashboards.
  • Demonstrated knowledge and curiosity about Block’s products, ecosystem, and mission of economic empowerment.
  • Investment Banking / Corporate Finance experience is welcome but not sufficient on its own.

Benefits

  • Market-based pay with location-based Zone ranges (Zone A: $180,000–$270,000; Zone B: $171,000–$256,600; Zone C: $162,000–$243,000; Zone D: $153,000–$229,600).

  • Medical insurance / health benefits.
