Get Access To All JobsSince 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
Square is seeking a Growth Partnerships Lead to design, negotiate, and scale global partnerships that fuel seller acquisition and business growth. These partners include technology platforms, service providers, marketplace, referral networks, saas companies where there's mutual benefit through lead generation, co-marketing, embedded distribution, and creative product integrations that unlock new seller segments for Square and Block's overall platform.
This is a highly visible role at the intersection of business development, growth, and go-to-market strategy. You will set the vision for how Square partners expand our reach, lead a team of partnership managers, and drive measurable growth outcomes for the business.
Key Responsibilities
- Strategy & Vision: Define a global strategy for referral and growth partnerships, aligning with Square's GTM and seller acquisition priorities.
- Sourcing & Negotiation: Identify, evaluate, and secure high-impact partners; structure complex, multi-party commercial agreements – including revenue share, referral fees, co-investment arrangements and milestone-based incentives that align partner economics with Block's growth objectives, lead executive-level negotiations and close deals that accelerate growth.
- Growth & Accountability: Map and unlock growth channels within each partner's ecosystem, deliver measurable results in lead generation, seller acquisition, and pipeline contribution via strategic partnerships.
- Partnership Development: Identify creative high-value ways to partner across partners' unique businesses – finding synergies between partner ecosystems and Block's platform that create differentiated value for both parties' customers.
- Activation & Scaling: Launch partnerships and scale existing partnerships with clear GTM plans, co-marketing initiatives, and integrated roadmaps where relevant.
- Executive Relationship Management: Build and sustain C-level relationships with partners, ensuring long-term value creation.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with Product, Marketing, Sales, and Legal to ensure smooth execution and maximum impact.
- Measurement & Optimization: Define and track KPIs for partnership success, adjusting strategy as needed to drive continuous growth.
- Team Leadership: Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing team of partnership managers across key global markets.
Qualifications
- 10+ years in business development, strategic partnerships, or growth leadership, with 7+ years in senior/team lead roles.
- Experience partnering with or inside large financial services, consumer platforms, retail, SMB, business services, marketplace or healthcare businesses – with a working understanding of their distribution mechanics and internal incentives.
- Proven track record of sourcing, structuring, negotiating complex commercial deals, co-marketing commitments and scaling growth-driving partnerships. Strong negotiation and relationship management skills, with extensive experience working at the executive level. Demonstrated ability to connect partnership strategy directly to measurable seller acquisition and revenue outcomes.
- Ability to structure partnership economics, evaluate business cases, and use data to prioritize and optimize the portfolio.
- Experience building and leading global teams.
- SaaS, fintech, or payments background strongly preferred.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Head Of Growth
Align your degree to the role description
USCIS requires a direct relationship between your degree field and the Head Of Growth position. A degree in marketing, business analytics, or computer science maps cleanly. A general business degree with no quantitative focus can trigger an RFE, so document the connection explicitly in your application.
Target companies with active LCA filings
Use Migrate Mate to filter Head Of Growth openings by employers who have filed H-1B Labor Condition Applications for growth and marketing leadership roles. This narrows your search to companies already familiar with the sponsorship process, not those encountering it for the first time.
Verify the prevailing wage before negotiating
Your offer must meet the DOL prevailing wage for your job title and work location. Run the role through OFLC Wage Search under the relevant SOC code before accepting. Head Of Growth roles span multiple SOC codes, so confirm which one your employer uses in the LCA to avoid a wage shortfall.
Ask employers about cap-exempt status upfront
Universities, nonprofits, and certain research institutions are cap-exempt, meaning your H-1B petition bypasses the lottery entirely. If you're open to growth roles at mission-driven organizations, confirm their cap-exempt status during the first conversation rather than after an offer is extended.
Build a specialty occupation evidence file now
Head Of Growth is not a standardized job title in the DOL occupational framework. Compile your own evidence file: job postings requiring a specific degree, O*NET profiles for comparable roles, and any internal documentation showing the analytical complexity of your responsibilities. Your employer's attorney will need this material.
Plan your filing timeline around the lottery window
USCIS opens H-1B registration in March for an October 1 start date. If you're selected, your employer has until June to file the full petition. Growth leadership roles often involve extended offer negotiations, so align your job search to have an offer letter ready before the March registration window.
H-1B Visa Head Of Growth: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Head Of Growth role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
It can, but the classification isn't automatic. USCIS evaluates whether the specific position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. Roles with defined quantitative, analytical, or technical requirements, such as growth modeling, funnel experimentation, or data-driven acquisition strategy, are more likely to qualify than broadly defined general management titles.
Which industries sponsor H-1B visas most frequently for growth roles?
SaaS companies, fintech firms, and consumer tech platforms file the highest volume of H-1B petitions for growth and marketing leadership positions. Employers in these sectors regularly file LCAs for roles involving product-led growth, user acquisition, and retention strategy. You can browse verified H-1B-sponsoring employers with open Head Of Growth positions on Migrate Mate.
What happens to my H-1B status if my Head Of Growth role changes significantly?
If your job duties, location, or compensation change materially after your H-1B is approved, your employer must file an amended petition with USCIS before the change takes effect. Growth roles evolve quickly, and a title change from Head Of Growth to VP of Growth or a shift to a new work location both typically require an amendment to keep your status valid.
Can I switch employers while on H-1B in a Head Of Growth role?
Yes. Under H-1B portability rules, you can start working for a new employer as soon as they file a new H-1B petition on your behalf, provided your current status is valid and you've been in lawful H-1B status for at least 180 days. You don't need to wait for USCIS approval before starting the new role.
What SOC code does USCIS use for Head Of Growth positions?
Head Of Growth doesn't have a dedicated Standard Occupational Classification code. Employers typically file under Marketing Managers (SOC 11-2021) or Market Research Analysts (SOC 19-3021) depending on how the role is structured. The SOC code determines your prevailing wage floor, so confirm with your employer's attorney which code they intend to use in the LCA before the offer is finalized.
