Staff Product Manager, Accounting Products

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

Over time, we expect to expand into additional Office of the CFO workflows, and we are looking for a Staff Product Manager to help turn this vision into products that finance teams trust. This is a senior individual contributor role with significant ownership, autonomy, and influence across Product, Engineering, Design, Finance, Data Science, and Go-to-Market teams.

What it asks for · 5

• 10+ years of product management experience delivering complex, technically or domain-intensive products, including as a senior individual contributor who independently sets direction, aligns cross-functional teams, and drives decisions without formal authority
• Experience building products for finance, accounting, or similarly demanding domains where accuracy, controls, traceability, and trust are essential, with a high bar for correctness, explainability, reliability, and operability
• Strong customer instincts and experience working directly with specialized users to uncover underlying needs and translate domain complexity into coherent products, supported by an understanding of complex systems, data models, APIs, integrations, and technical tradeoffs
• Strong strategic judgment and experience taking products from ambiguity to execution: identifying differentiated advantages, defining initial markets, sequencing multi-year opportunities, and connecting strategy to detailed requirements, data analysis, and delivery
• Excellent written and verbal communication and collaborative leadership across technical, business, and go-to-market teams, with the ability to clarify complex problems, align stakeholders, surface risks, and make or revise decisions as evidence changes in high-stakes environments

Also a plus

• Experience building accounting products for controllers, accounting teams, or other users in the Office of the CFO
• Working knowledge of revenue recognition under ASC 606 or IFRS 15, particularly for usage-based pricing, variable consideration, minimum commitments, credits, and contract modifications
• Experience building AI or agent-powered products that investigate information, explain recommendations, or take action within defined controls and human review or approval workflows
• Familiarity with general ledgers and ERP systems, such as NetSuite, QuickBooks, or Xero, including the integrations and operational processes needed to transfer and reconcile financial results
• An accounting background CPA qualification, or experience partnering closely with accounting policy, controllership, or audit teams

What the job covers

• Define a focused product strategy, initial customer market, and roadmap, making explicit choices about where Stripe has an advantage, what to prioritize, and what not to build, and revising those choices as evidence changes
• Work directly with controllers, accountants, finance leaders, auditors, and implementation partners to understand accounting workflows, including month-end close, and translate customer problems into clear product requirements
• Define how humans and agents work together to configure accounting policies, explain results, investigate exceptions, and propose or execute resolutions, with appropriate review, approvals, controls, and audit trails
• Shape Revenue Recognition for Stripe Billing and Metronome users, supporting accurate journal entries and revenue schedules for usage-based pricing, credits, minimum commitments, contract modifications, and other complex business models
• Build products that are accurate, explainable, and operationally reliable, with results traceable to source activity, accounting treatment, and supporting evidence, and measure success through accurate closes, accepted outputs, time savings, reliable general-ledger handoffs, adoption, and retention
• Take products from prototype to scale with design partners, deciding what to standardize, automate, or keep narrow, and define integrations with general ledgers, ERP, customer relationship management, and professional-services platforms
• Align senior stakeholders and partner with Billing, Metronome, Tax, Payments, and other teams to make financial results consistent across products, raising the quality of product thinking through clear writing, sound judgment, and constructive challenge
