Who we are
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 payments landscape is changing rapidly and our team is at the forefront of this change. Depending on where you live, you may be used to paying with a credit card (United States), iDEAL (Netherlands) or UPI (India), amongst hundreds of other global payment methods. It turns out how you pay is increasingly dependent on where you are and what business you're buying from.
The Local Payment Methods team is responsible for Stripe's fastest growing payments business. These payment methods are often the single largest conversion improvement merchants can make to their checkout, driving double-digit increases in checkout conversion. They represent billions of dollars in payments volume each month and are core to Stripe's growth strategy. We build payment methods that help businesses drastically increase their revenues and grow their business. Additionally, we also build the platform that allows us to build and distribute payment methods at scale.
What you’ll do
We're looking for a Product Manager to own relationships with some of the world's largest payment providers and drive billions in payment volume growth. In this role, you will leverage your extensive experience turning ambiguous problems into clear and actionable deliverables, aligning internal and external leaders on a shared, ambitious vision.
You'll work closely with Stripe users to understand their needs to drive payments performance, and match those to the unique capabilities of Stripe's most strategic payment method partners—including global leaders in Buy Now Pay Later and digital wallet solutions. This will involve close collaboration with Stripe's and our financial partners' product and engineering organizations to prioritize valuable investments over a multi-quarter roadmap, considering distribution potential, performance, risk and costs.
