Who we are

About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies - from the world's largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups - use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.

About The Team

As Stripe's user base and global footprint grows dramatically, we have distinctly unique support problems resulting from both our type of scale and the type of businesses we partner with. The Stripe Delivery Center (SDC) strategy will provide operational leverage and expand Stripe's portfolio of operational capabilities to support the scaled needs for external users and internal Stripe teams. Our support experience leverages deep understanding of our products, the financial industry and money movement, and our customers' products and users, and requires us to invest significant resources into building this experience ourselves with talented teams of Stripes.

What you'll do

We are looking for dynamic and entrepreneurial leaders who will define our strategy to scale our Core Payments team, help define and improve operational workflows, and maintain a best in class Operations program. If you like hard problems, are analytical, comfortable operating in ambiguity and finding creative solutions, we want to hear from you!

Responsibilities

• Drive operational excellence and support global expansion, global growth, and product teams by enhancing processes through effective stakeholder management, ensuring alignment and seamless execution across regions.
• Oversee product launches by managing the horizontal product launch process, monitoring and reporting on progress with biweekly status updates to Senior leadership, while maintaining transparent documentation in Compass (Stripe Internal tool).
• Facilitate cross-functional collaboration by identifying and documenting responsibilities of cross-functional teams for product launches, proactively communicating blockers, and providing transparent status updates to all involved teams.
• Define, enhance and improve operating rhythms to facilitate efficient collaboration across teams, managing operational cadences for planning cycles, business reviews, and tracking Stripe Objectives and Key Results (SOKRs).
• Collaborate with stakeholders to prioritize initiatives and manage resource allocation, while facilitating the annual planning process by consolidating feedback and providing insights for leadership.
• Implement metrics to identify and eliminate inefficiencies (Muda) and standardize emerging processes with documented frameworks, partnering with Product, Engineering, Go-to-Market, Partnerships, and Legal teams to enhance operational efficiency.

Working remotely at Stripe

A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team / business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently live or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

Stripe does not yet include pay ranges in job postings in every country. Stripe strongly values pay transparency and is working toward pay transparency globally.
