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 Go-to-Market (GTM) Programs team supports Stripe’s mission (to ‘Increase the GDP of the Internet’) by empowering the GTM organization to achieve their goals. We bring expertise, rigorous thinking, and a user-first approach to problem solving, and help build connections between users, Stripe go-to-market teams and the business overall.

As we rapidly grow our company and customer-base, we need ‘full stack’ program management and change management experts who easily flex between PMO responsibilities coordinating across a number of cross-functional team members, to driving design before transitioning to operational orgs, to running the full breadth of a program
