About the team

The Go-to-Market (GTM) Operations team works across Corporate Planning, GTM Strategy, Product, and regional Strategy and Operations.

This role will lead the sales strategy and operations work associated with mergers and acquisitions (M&A). You’ll help assess how acquired businesses fit into Stripe’s GTM model and translate acquisition plans into clear operational changes across account placement, territories, coverage, quotas, compensation, reporting, systems, and seller enablement. You’ll partner closely with Corporate Development, Sales, Finance, Product, Product Marketing, Deal Desk, Legal, and regional Strategy and Operations teams to support due diligence, integration planning, launch readiness, and post-acquisition execution.

What you’ll do

You’ll lead the sales strategy and operations work required to assess and integrate acquisitions into Stripe’s GTM organization. You’ll develop integration plans, design operating models, coordinate cross-functional execution, and help sales teams successfully bring acquired products to market.

  • Translate acquisition strategy into an executable GTM integration plan with clear workstreams, owners, milestones, dependencies, decision points, and success measures
  • Design sales operating models for acquired products, including coverage, segmentation, account ownership, rules of engagement, lead routing, specialist support, partner motions, and customer expansion paths

  • Coordinate execution across Sales, Corporate Development, Finance, Product, Product Marketing, Enablement, Deal Desk, Legal, and systems teams
  • Identify integration risks and execution gaps, recommend practical solutions, and escalate decisions with clear context and tradeoffs
  • Develop reporting and operating mechanisms that help leaders monitor integration progress, field adoption, pipeline health, and business performance
  • Support pricing, packaging, product catalog, quota, compensation, forecasting, and quote-to-cash workstreams in partnership with the relevant functional owners
  • Help establish durable ownership for ongoing processes before work transitions out of the integration phase
  • Build reusable due diligence, Day 1, Day 30, Day 90, launch readiness, and post-integration playbooks for future acquisitions
  • Use data and qualitative insights to evaluate integration outcomes and recommend adjustments to GTM strategy and execution
