## Description

**Who we are**
--------------

### **About Stripe**

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.

### **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
