Head of Marketing Operations

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

The Marketing Operations team drives excellence across the shared infrastructure that the marketing and sales development teams depend on: lead routing and lead management, prospect data, campaign production, marketing systems, and sales development systems. The infrastructure covers three vertical channel groups: inbound and outbound sales, digital marketing, and in-person events. We ensure that the underlying operations and systems are reliable, scalable, and well-maintained. In close partnership with Demand Generation Systems, Marketing Operations enables global and region marketers and Sales Development Representatives to focus on driving revenue rather than wrestling with operations and systems.

You will be directly responsible for a global marketing operations team of 15-20, in addition to 25-30 production specialists with a dotted-line reporting relationship.
