Executive Business Partner

About the Role

<p>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.</p> <p><strong>Who We Are</strong></p> <p>Most Executive Operations functions move information. ExecOps at Block is built to generate it. We sit at the intersection of every major initiative — seeing what no individual executive can see simultaneously. We don't just move information to leaders; we route what we observe back into the system: naming what's stuck, surfacing misalignment, correcting drift before it calcifies. A centralized function compounds that intelligence — patterns that span organizations, signals that surface before they become problems. This is not simply a coordination function. It is an intelligence function.</p> <p><strong>Job Description</strong></p> <p>At Block, the Executive Operations team amplifies the impact of executives and their teams by keeping priorities clear, decisions moving, and information flowing across the organization.
