Strategic Business Performance, Central Strategy & Operations
Stripe · US-Chicago, US-Remote, US-Seattle, US-San Francisco

## **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**

Stripe is looking for a senior product strategist-operator to join the Strategic Business Performance (SBP) team. SBP is the "connective tissue" of Stripe. You will have a front-row seat to how the company operates and a direct hand in ensuring we hit our most important goals. If you are a technical strategist who loves to move fast and fix high-stakes problems, we’d love to hear from you.

SBP is a small, high-leverage group within Central Strategy & Operations at Stripe. Our mission is to create strategic clarity around Stripe’s performance. We work with partner teams to report on the business; dive into it to support and pressure-test our strategy, driving change wherever we find soft spots and enabling the success of other teams.

We are looking for someone who connects across data, financials and product & business strategy and can unearth a signal in the noise and either fix the problem directly or convene the right people to fix it fast.

## **What you’ll do**

In this role, you will work cross-functionally within our group and across Stripe’s technical and user-facing teams to solve problems and design workflows that benefit our users. Specifically:

- **Own the "Signal"**: You will define and maintain the metrics that actually matter for in-year performance. You’ll develop a "morning read" discipline—a curated, high-signal view of the business that drives immediate action,
 moving far beyond standard dashboarding.
- **Deep-Dive Interventions**: You will lead "surge" projects to diagnose and unblock critical goals at risk. You aren't just identifying problems; you are staying in the arena until the trajectory has measurably changed.
- **Bridge Product & Strategy**: You will translate long-horizon corporate theses into in-year operational reality. You’ll take ambiguous opportunities that cut across product, risk, and marketing and decompose them into structured
 workstreams.
- **Synthesize for Leadership**: You’ll think ahead of our executive team, preparing CEO/COO-level materials that translate unstructured signals into structured diagnoses they can act on.
- **Pressure-test our Assumptions**: You’ll work closely with Corporate Strategy and Product teams to identify gaps between our external market forces and our internal execution.

## **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**

- 12+ years of experience in product/data analytics within product organizations or strategic business performance teams at high-growth tech companies
- Experience in Product Strategy, Product Management, or GM-style roles where you owned a P&L or a specific
