In the posting’s own words

The Performance and Talent Planning team is part of Stripe’s broader Talent and Development organization. We shape how Stripes grow their careers and do their best work.

What it asks for · 8

  • 10+ years of experience building and scaling global People or HR experiences, with experience across both process and product or systems design
  • Experience leading complex programs in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where high ownership and cross-functional problem solving are expected.
  • Strong systems thinking: the ability to understand how people, processes, tools, policies, and organizational decisions influence one another over time and how to augment workflows and processes using AI tools.
  • A demonstrated ability to build enduring, trusted stakeholder relationships; communicate effectively across levels and functions; and establish clear decision-making and accountability mechanisms.
  • A disciplined approach to problem solving. You begin with the “why,” define and refine problem statements steeped in both quantitative and qualitative data, and continuously ask “is this the right problem to solve, at the right time?”
  • High agency and sound judgment. You identify opportunities or risks, take action quickly, and escalate thoughtfully when progress is blocked.
  • Deep alignment with Stripe’s Operating Principle, Obsess over Talent. You believe that people are one of Stripe’s greatest unlocks: attracting exceptional talent, creating environments where they can thrive, building systems that support growth, and recognizing meaningful contributions.
  • Curiosity and humility. You are a continuous learner who seeks to understand before acting, welcomes ideas from many sources, and is willing to change course when new evidence suggests a better path.

Also a plus

  • 10+ years of experience across a diverse portfolio of People programs: talent management, organizational development, leadership and/or executive development, program and talent operations, and compensation and benefits
  • People product design and management experience in high growth environments with fast iterative cycles, changing priorities, and a steady stream of feature requests and backlog
  • Experience and excellence leading executive level talent discussions that influence People strategy, with humility, curiosity, and a grounded presence

What the job covers

  • Drive and scale Stripe’s performance philosophy and practices. Design and improve performance experiences that help Stripes understand expectations, grow through feedback, and make meaningful contributions.
  • Evolve performance and talent tooling. Partner with People Products and cross-functional stakeholders to translate program needs into scalable systems, processes, and user journeys.
  • Strengthen career growth and talent investment. Help shape the programs, mechanisms, and insights that enable career development, talent planning, succession, and thoughtful investment in Stripe’s people as the company grows.
  • Lead complex, cross-functional workstreams. Build alignment among global stakeholders; surface risks and dependencies early; make progress in ambiguous environments; and unblock critical decisions quickly.
  • Use insights to improve outcomes. Define clear problem statements, gather qualitative and quantitative data, and use those insights to refine strategy, programs, and execution.

How this page was made

An automated read of a public job posting, fetched August 24, 2026 and last changed by Stripe on August 18, 2026. Every list above is pulled from the posting’s own sentences — nothing rewritten, nothing added, no judgment about the role or the company. Counts and seniority are read off the text by rule, so they can be wrong where the posting is unusual. The original is the only thing that binds. Openings close without warning; check the source before spending an evening on it.
