Global Strategic Alliances Lead, Accenture

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.

The Global Alliances and Channels team drives growth by building and scaling go-to-market partnerships with world-class professional services firms—including global systems integrators and consultancies—alongside strategic technology leaders like AWS, Salesforce, and Adobe. Our mission is to provide users with a comprehensive ecosystem of technology and industry expertise while ensuring Stripe and our partners build high-growth, mutually beneficial businesses. We bridge the gap between Stripe’s platform and the specialized solutions our users need to scale globally.

As the Accenture Global Lead, you will drive the success of Stripe’s global alliance with Accenture by setting global strategy and enabling strong local execution of joint go-to-market and co-sell motions across all active regions. You will own the global Accenture business plan, driving mutual revenue growth and strategic alignment across Accenture’s Payments, Industry, and AI practices.

You will partner with Partner Development Managers and Partner Sales Managers globally to generate net-new demand, expand the partnership, and support Partner Development Manager activities across the AMER region. In this highly visible, fast-paced role, you will advance our strategic relationship through joint sales execution, solution development, and delivery alignment while maintaining a global view of partner performance and accelerating partner-driven revenue across Stripe’s sales segments.

You will collaborate cross-functionally with Partner Sales leadership, Partner Development, Account Executives, and other Stripe teams to identify high-impact opportunities, support complex deals, and maintain strong operational rigor. Success requires deep knowledge of the Stripe partner ecosystem, strong stakeholder leadership, and a partner-first mindset that drives measurable customer value and shared growth for both Accenture and Stripe.
