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

At Stripe, product development is an extremely collaborative effort between engineering, design, data science, legal, risk and go-to-market teams. You’d be joining a group of experienced Engineering, Product Management, Technical Program Manager, and Strategy and Operations leaders who have a track record of successfully building large-scale business and products that are collectively impacting millions of users around the world.

The Link team at Stripe is building a fast, convenient, and best-in-class consumer checkout experience that delights consumers with embedded saved payment and identity tools while driving higher conversion and higher-margin transactions for our many millions of merchants.

What you’ll do

As a Program Manager, you will play a key role leading programs working across multiple engineering, product and cross-functional (finance, legal, compliance, risk, and other) teams spanning Stripe. In this role, you will have the opportunity to drive the launch of features, improve the operating efficiency of the organization, and implement mechanisms that make your programs effective and scale them to edit Stripe-level processes.  

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and cross functional teams to improve our products and processes
• Drive launches of new products and functionality including preview launches and GAs 
• Drive continuous improvement of launch processes including identifying risks amongst teams and other product launches
• Track projects, timelines and commitments on internal projects and customer deliverables

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

• 2+ years of experience in program/product management, product operations, strategy & ops, or related discipline.
• You are not satisfied with just delivering a program on time—you are obsessed with quality, reliability & correctness
• You have a track record of providing program management during all phases of software development from kick-off to ship, and demonstrating critical thinking.
• You have strong written and verbal communication skills, building strong relationships with stakeholders and teams around the organization
• You can drive and scale internal and external process improvements across multiple teams and functions
• You have experience operating autonomously and leading large-scale efforts across multiple teams and functions, with stakeholders in different disciplines across time zones

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with agile software development methodologies and productivity tools.
• Experience with customer-facing product launches 

It's not expected that any single candidate would have expertise across all of these areas—we're looking for candidates that are particularly strong in at least one area, and have some interest and capabilities in the others.

We look forward to hearing from you

At Stripe, we're looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and passion will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns. At Stripe, we welcome diverse perspectives and people who think rigorously and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions. Join us.
