• Collaborate with engineering, design, legal, and other teams to jointly shape product experiences that delight Stripe’s users.

• Experience in payments, fintech, financial infrastructure, or a closely adjacent domain (e.g., commerce platforms, banking, payment networks) and a track record of building highly impactful products.
• Demonstrated experience partnering closely with engineers, designers, and external partners to build products and complex systems at scale.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a knack for precise and concise articulation of user problems.
• Strong analytical capabilities with experience defining and tracking success metrics, running experiments (e.g., holdback tests), and using data to measure product impact on revenue, conversion, and margins.
• Experience working on products that require aligning multiple stakeholders, developing joint roadmaps, and navigating competing priorities between internal goals and external partner objectives.
• Ability to thrive in a dynamic and fast-paced environment with significant autonomy and responsibility.
• Background delivering successfully on multi-quarter roadmaps and aligning and influencing diverse stakeholders to achieve shared goals.
• Strong business acumen and comfort with complex ecosystem and platform-level problems.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree (or relevant degree equivalent): Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Analytics, Mathematics, Physics, Applied Sciences.
• Demonstrated success and strong execution track record in building payment products.
• Experience working at scale — you've managed products handling high transaction volumes where availability, latency, and marginal basis points matter.
