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
The SaaS Platform Partnerships team is part of our Go-to-Market organization, and supports new and existing SaaS Platforms in developing and growing their embedded payments and finance businesses. We work closely with platforms as a channel partner to incubate growth tactics and scale them into benefits of our program, Stripe Partner Ecosystem. PDMs act as the R&D arm of this program—testing new growth approaches with a small number of platforms, measuring what works, and then codifying those tactics into structured resources that Stripe's broader account team can deliver at scale. In parallel, we work with product teams to embed the learnings directly into Stripe’s products. We are seen as trusted advisors and experts in SaaS Platforms.
What you’ll do
This role will be an early EMEA hire for the SaaS Platform Partnerships team, working closely with the GTM team. There are three key components of this role:
- Providing strategic advisory to strategic platforms
- Developing and validating EMEA-specific growth tactics
- Scaling successful tactics into structured benefits available across the broader Stripe Partner Ecosystem and to SaaS Platforms on Stripe
