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.

This is a high-impact, highly visible role where you'll drive our shift from manual administration to a scalable, technology-enabled model, and directly shape how the team works for years to come.
