The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

We’re looking for Staff Product Managers who deeply understand their customers and want to make an impact on managing money at a global scale. Our team collaborates with many cross-functional teams at Stripe to deliver innovative solutions that address evolving user needs.

• 10+ years of industry product management experience (does not include internships nor includes co-ops)
• Experience in payments, fintech, financial infrastructure, or a closely adjacent domain (e.g., commerce platforms, banking, payment networks) and a track record of building highly impactful products
• Demonstrated experience partnering closely with engineers, designers, and external partners to build products and complex systems at scale
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a knack for precise and concise articulation of user problems
• Strong analytical capabilities with experience defining and tracking success metrics, running experiments (e.g., holdback tests), and using data to measure product impact on revenue, conversion, and margins
• Experience working on products that require aligning multiple stakeholders, developing joint roadmaps, and navigating competing priorities between internal goals and external partner objectives
• Ability to thrive in a dynamic and fast-paced environment with significant autonomy and responsibility
• Background delivering successfully on multi-quarter roadmaps and aligning and influencing diverse stakeholders to achieve shared goals
• Strong business acumen and comfort with complex ecosystem and platform-level problems

Also a plus

• Bachelor's degree (or relevant degree equivalent): Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Analytics, Mathematics, Physics, Applied Sciences
• Demonstrated success and strong execution track record in building payment products
• Experience working at scale — you've managed products handling high transaction volumes where availability, latency, and marginal basis points matter

What the job covers

• Collaborate with engineering, design, legal, and other teams to jointly shape product experiences that delight Stripe’s users
