Strategy & Business Performance, Central S&O
About the role
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.
About the Team & Role
Stripe is looking for a senior product strategist-operator to join the Strategy & 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.
SBP is a small, high-leverage group within Central S&O 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.
- 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 assumptions and validate them.
