Product Strategy & Operations - Global & Local Payments

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 payments landscape is changing rapidly, and our team is at the forefront of this transformation. Depending on where you live, you may be used to paying with a credit card (United States), iDEAL (Netherlands), or UPI (India), among hundreds of other global payment methods. How you pay is increasingly dependent on where you are, what kind of consumer you are, and what business you're buying from.

Stripe’s Global Product Strategy & Operations team is a small, high impact team. We help run the Global and Local Payment Methods (LPM) product organization, which is responsible for helping Stripe and our users expand globally, as well as Stripe’s fastest-growing payments business: local payment methods. Our team works cross functionally within the Global and LPM product team and across Stripe to drive and enable the growth of Stripe’s Global business. We develop the long-term strategic plan for Global, drive an operating model that allows the Global organization to operate at scale, and design and incubate high impact 0→1 initiatives. Whatever it is, we work on what will move the needle most for Stripe.

In this role, you will work cross-functionally within our group and across Stripe’s technical and user-facing teams to solve problems that benefit our users. Specifically:

• Work on cross-cutting company strategy projects and collaborate with teams to implement changes
• Partner directly with senior leaders and cross functional teams to accelerate progress, solve hard scaling initiatives, and incubate new programs
• Drive analysis and research to help inform our overall strategy and make the right growth decisions for global products, including local payment methods
• Help shape the product roadmap for the Global & LPM Product business through robust gathering of competitive intelligence, user insights, and data analysis.
• Advise Product, Engineering, GTM & cross-functional leadership teams on where resources should be deployed to maximize long-term strategic value.
• Partner with Finance to drive planning processes, including investment decisions, strategy updates, operational plans, and OKRs.
• Maintain a pulse on the financial health of the Global business, highlighting key metrics and trends and developing action plans to drive improvements.

We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
