Full Job Description

Block is one company built from many blocks, all united by the same purpose of economic empowerment. The blocks that form our foundational teams — People, Finance, Counsel, Hardware, Information Security, Platform Infrastructure Engineering, and more — provide support and guidance at the corporate level. They work across business groups and around the globe, spanning time zones and disciplines to develop inclusive People policies, forecast finances, give legal counsel, safeguard systems, nurture new initiatives, and more. Every challenge creates possibilities, and we need different perspectives to see them all. Bring yours to Block.

The role This role sits at the intersection of policy and communications across Block and its brands. You will help define how Block shows up in public conversations about financial access and the future of money. You'll translate complex policy and regulatory developments into clear, credible narratives rooted in the experiences of our customers and sellers. You will help ensure Block speaks with a coherent, trusted voice across our brands Square and Cash App, as well as our broader ecosystem, especially in moments where technology and public trust converge.

You will

Lead communications strategy across Block's policy and external affairs work to drive economic empowerment for our customers and sellers
Partner closely with Policy, Legal, Risk, and other business teams to shape external narratives
Ensure Block's policy positions are accurately and clearly reflected in external communications, particularly in high-visibility moments
Advance Block's policy positions through ongoing engagement across channels, including media, digital platforms, and key industry forums
Build and manage external engagement strategies, including media relationships, op-eds, editorial boards, as well as industry dialogues, and support broader corporate communications efforts, including high-priority company initiatives as needed
Ensure Block's voice in policy conversations is clear, consistent, and trusted
Translate complex regulatory issues into simple, durable narratives that resonate externally

You have

Strategic storyteller and operator with a background in policy communications, public affairs, or issues-driven storytelling in a technology or regulated environment,
A builder's mindset. We're actively rebuilding the tools, workflows, and playbooks of a modern communications function, and we want someone who sees friction in how work gets done and feels compelled to fix it.
We welcome candidates from non-traditional backgrounds, with strong judgment and the ability to navigate complex, high-stakes external situations.
Ability to translate dense policy topics into clear, human language and operate effectively across product, engineering, legal, and business teams,
Excellent writing skills, experience engaging external stakeholders, and a proactive mindset focused on shaping narratives and building understanding, not just responding to events.

We're working to build a more inclusive economy where our customers have equal access to opportunity, and we strive to live by these same values in building our workplace. Block is an equal opportunity employer evaluating all employees and job applicants without regard to identity or any legally protected class. We will consider qualified applicants with arrest or conviction records for employment in accordance with state and local laws and “fair chance” ordinances.

Block takes a market-based approach to pay, and pay may vary depending on your location. U.S. locations are categorized into one of four zones based on a cost of labor index for that geographic area. The successful candidate’s starting pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions. These ranges may be modified in the future.

Use of AI in Our Hiring Process

We may use automated AI tools to evaluate job applications for efficiency and consistency. These tools comply with local regulations, including bias audits, and we handle all personal data in accordance with state and local privacy laws.

Every benefit we offer is designed with one goal: empowering you to do the best work of your career while building the life you want. Remote work, medical insurance, flexible time off, retirement savings plans, and modern family planning are just some of our offering.

Block, Inc. (NYSE: XYZ) builds technology to increase access to the global economy. Each of our brands unlocks different aspects of the economy for more people. Square makes commerce and financial services accessible to sellers. Cash App is the easy way to spend, send, and store money.
