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** Stripe is looking for a senior product strategist-operator to join the Strategic Business Performance (SBP) team. SBP is the "connective tissue" of Stripe. You will have a front-row seat to how the company operates and a direct hand in ensuring we hit our most important goals. If you are a technical strategist who loves to move fast and fix high-stakes problems, we’d love to hear from you.  SBP is a small, high-leverage group within Central Strategy & Operations at Stripe. Our mission is to create strategic clarity around Stripe’s performance. We work with partner teams to report on the business; dive into it to support and pressure-test our strategy, driving change wherever we find soft spots and enabling the success of other teams.  We are looking for someone who connects across data, financials and product & business strategy and can unearth a signal in the noise and either fix the problem directly or convene the right people to fix it fast. ### **What you’ll do** In this role, you will work cross-functionally within our group and across Stripe’s technical and user-facing teams to solve problems and design workflows that benefit our users. Specifically: - **Own the "Signal"**: You will define and maintain the metrics that actually matter for in-year performance. You’ll develop a "morning read" discipline—a curated, high-signal view of the business that drives immediate action, moving far beyond standard dashboarding. - **Deep-Dive Interventions**: You will lead "surge" projects to diagnose and unblock critical goals at risk. You aren't just identifying problems; you are staying in the arena until the trajectory has measurably changed. - **Bridge Product & Strategy**: You will translate long-horizon corporate theses into in-year operational reality. You’ll take ambiguous opportunities that cut across product, risk, and marketing and decompose them into structured workstreams. - **Synthesize for Leadership**: You’ll think ahead of our executive team, preparing CEO/COO-level materials that translate unstructured signals into structured diagnoses they can act on. - **Pressure-test our Assumptions**: You’ll work closely with Corporate Strategy and Product teams to identify gaps between our external market forces and our internal execution. ### **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** - 12+ years of experience in product/data analytics within product organizations or strategic business performance teams at high-growth tech companies - Experience in Product Strategy, Product Management, or GM-style roles where you owned a P&L or a specific business outcome - Deeply curious about business models and data, probing into signals, understanding trends and customer usage patterns to uncover novel insights - A proven track record of directly driving business growth through analytical insights and execution - Apply AI to enhance decision-making and operational efficiency, know when and how to use the right AI tools to move faster without sacrificing rigor or quality - Strong product sense and the ability to understand the technical mechanics of how software products are built and scaled - Experience navigating ambiguous, cross-functional problems and leading high-stakes interventions with senior stakeholders - Prior experience with fintech products or complex financial systems is a plus, but not required - Experience facilitating senior leadership/ stakeholder meetings to drive meaningful conversations regarding Stripe’s business performance ### **Preferred qualifications** - Payments ecosystem, or experience in finance or fintech is a plus - Ability to build trust and partner with senior leaders and CXOs - Technical proficiency in SQL / Python / R and data analysis; ability to self-serve and perform independent deep-dives into complex datasets - Experience driving creative solutions with and effectively informing the roadmap of cross-functional teams - Ability to understand the implications of Stripe ships such as product features, policy changes, and marketing outreach on the user experience and resulting support experience ## Other open roles at Stripe - [Credit Risk Analyst Commercial Underwriter](https://zerogtalent.com/frontier-jobs/stripe/credit-risk-analyst-commercial-underwriter-8287916) — Singapore - [Operations Program Manager, Consumer Support](https://zerogtalent.com/frontier-jobs/stripe/operations-program-manager-consumer-support-8288334) — NYC - [Product Designer, Risk](https://zerogtalent.com/frontier-jobs/stripe/product-designer-risk-8304725) — US / Canada - [Head of Product Sales, Payouts](https://zerogtalent.com/frontier-jobs/stripe/head-of-product-sales-payouts-8204649) — SF, NYC - [Product Manager, Radar - Fraud and Abuse Prevention](https://zerogtalent.com/frontier-jobs/stripe/product-manager-radar-fraud-and-abuse-prevention-8306158) — San Francisco, Seattle, New York, US-Remote --- *Source: [Zero G Talent](https://zerogtalent.com), the job board for space, defense, AI, robotics and frontier-tech companies.*
