About the team & role

The Strategic Operations – Organizational Excellence team is the connective tissue of Stripe, driving initiatives that shape how we work, collaborate, and grow. Our mission is to ensure Stripe operates with exceptional efficiency and alignment as we grow. This team leads transformative, cross-company projects that improve decision-making, enhance team effectiveness, and build sustainable operational systems.

In this role, you will act as a strategic problem solver and operator, partnering closely with teams across the business and core functions to design and implement changes that stand the test of time.

Lead strategic, cross-functional initiatives that transform and improve how we work across all of Stripe.
Partner with senior leaders to address scaling challenges, implement operational changes, and incubate new programs to enable Stripe’s next phase of growth.

Who you are

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.

Minimum requirements

8+ years of experience in strategy, business operations, product strategy or people strategy at a consulting or tech company
Experience working in highly cross-functional settings, and in a role that spans strategy, analysis, and operations in a fast-paced environment
Critical thinking and first-principles thinking (e.g., ability to question how we are working rather than simply executing), and the ability to zoom out to the most important questions
Passion for digging deep into data and problem-solving
Strong program management skills with experience managing end-to-end execution of projects/programs that have transformed their company’s operations and delivered quantifiable business impact
Excellent written and verbal communication with the the ability to collaborate with leaders across different teams, such as partnerships, product, engineering, and sales
Demonstrated ability to influence without authority
Good balance of business and technical acumen
Ability to execute with minimal guidance, and in context with a high degree of ambiguity

Preferred qualifications

Payments ecosystem, or experience in finance or fintech is a plus.
Experience facilitating large meetings with a strong focus on goals and outcomes
Ability to build trust and partner with senior leaders and CXOs
Experience driving creative solutions with and effectively informing the roadmap of cross-functional teams

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (typically, 35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

A remote location, in most cases, 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 or plan to live.

The annual US base salary range for this role is $198,200 - $297,400. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
