Senior Product Strategist-Operator

Role Description

Stripe is looking for a senior product strategist-operator to join the Strategic Business Performance (SBP) team. SBP is the "connective tissue" of Stripe, providing 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.

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": Define and maintain the metrics that actually matter for in-year performance. 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: Lead "surge" projects to diagnose and unblock critical goals at risk. Stay in the arena until the trajectory has measurably changed.
• Bridge Product & Strategy: Translate long-horizon corporate theses into in-year operational reality. Decompose ambiguous opportunities that cut across product, risk, and marketing into structured workstreams.
• Synthesize for Leadership: Prepare CEO/COO-level materials that translate unstructured signals into structured diagnoses they can act on.
• Pressure-test our Assumptions: Work closely with Corporate Strategy and Product teams to identify gaps between external market forces and internal execution.

Qualifications

• 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, knowing 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.

Requirements

• 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 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.
