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
Global Partnerships’ mission is to drive non-linear growth for our users and Stripe by developing relationships with external partners that enable Stripe to create, enhance, and drive adoption of innovative, differentiated products. We strive to promote a thriving partner ecosystem, and help other Stripe teams accomplish their goals through rigorous and action-oriented business development, partner management, and partner operations activities. We continually seek to drive value for Stripe by expanding and deepening some of Stripe’s most important external relationships worldwide.
Strategy and Operations works cross functionally within our group and across Stripe to drive and enable the growth of the business. We lead mission critical, cross-functional efforts, deliver objective analysis and insights, incubate new roles, and execute on strategic initiatives. You may design new business systems and processes to scale our group, develop partner ecosystem strategy, help us build and launch new products, or unlock new revenue opportunities.
Whatever it is, we work on what will move the needle most for Stripe. We care about results, not activity, and we have fun doing it. If you like hard problems, are analytical, and are an amazing teammate, we want to hear from you!
