Role
Who you are
- 10+ years of experience in product management within technical domains
- Passion for building technology that promotes economic opportunity
- Ability to speak the language of many different stakeholders – move effortlessly from engineering scoping to UX design reviews to helping outline legal and compliance requirements
- Experience aligning a broad set of stakeholders via strong written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to thrive with significant autonomy and responsibility
- Experience launching and scaling fintech products is a plus, but not a requirement
What the job involves
- The Capital PM team is responsible for three things – deeply understanding our users’ needs, creating a lending and financing roadmap for the products we want to build, and leading a cross-functional team (across engineering, design, marketing, finance, and more) to get things done
- In this role, you will be responsible for Capital for Platforms, our embedded lending product, distributed via Stripe Connect
- Capital for Platforms helps major customers like HouseCall Pro and Jobber power a financing program for their end users, powered by Stripe Capital under the hood
- Platforms are at the heart of Stripe’s strategy, and since launching Capital for Platforms we’ve seen exciting momentum and stellar year-over-year growth
- We are looking for a Product Lead who will take things to the next level – both setting the core vision / strategy as well as managing and growing the existing business
- This leader will effectively function as the “mini-GM” of the Capital for Platforms business, leading a cross-functional team across engineering, design, sales, marketing, and more to build a best-in-class embedded lending platform
- Success in this role means operating and building financing products that serve our users’ needs and growing our reach across more platforms
- Deeply understand the financing needs of users on Stripe, from end borrowers to platforms. Be the voice of the user and the subject matter expert on how Capital can help users with their business objectives
- Be the face of Capital for Platforms with major partners and customers
- Define Stripe’s product strategy and roadmap for scaling embedded lending solutions
- Partner cross-functionally to design, build, and launch user-facing product experiences
- Drive the adoption and impact of financing across platforms
Our take
Stripe, nowadays a FinTech giant, spent the first few years since its founding building up its payments business, which primarily consisted of providing an API to eCommerce businesses so that they could easily integrate a payments option in their apps or websites, where before there was none.
More recently, Stripe has started to accelerate its growth with a significantly larger range of financial services including cash advances and credit cards. They also plan to build incorporation services, fraud protection, and more, diversifying its revenue away from payments and differentiating itself from its competitors.
To further expand its position, the company is looking to triple its presence in Ireland, and extend its services to countries with vast customer potential, including Brazil and India. Its latest venture, coming atop significant new funds, is to partner with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT - a win-win collaboration that will monetize OpenAI’s flagship products and at the same time enhance Stripe with GPT-4, as it moves forwards with intentions to "build the payments foundation for tomorrow's AI economy."

Company values
- Built for builders - The best reason to work at Stripe is that you will have colleagues who support and challenge you to do the best work of your career. We combine a big-picture mindset with obsessive attention to the details, down to the last pixel, API parameter, and word.
- An environment of growth - We care about results more than CVs. We value managers who remain experts while developing talent and designing successful orgs. You can also have a big impact and advance far without managing anyone. We want you to take what you’ve been hired to do, and show us how it’s done – you might create something we never would have imagined. We have had account managers start a publishing arm, interns who have run business units, and hackathon participants who have built company-defining products.
- Fast-paced, detail oriented - We balance innovation with scrupulous attention to every bit and byte involved in the movement of money – because we can’t do our job well unless we do both. When we started, we emailed every API error to everyone at the company. Now, we have more than 250 million API requests a day – and we still care about each one.
- Voraciously curious - We wish there was a book that described what we need to do next (we’d even publish it), but since there isn’t, we all have to write it together. You will need to find answers to questions you’ve never been asked before. Sometimes, you will be the first person ever to contemplate a particular problem. We want people who devour books for fun and approach new challenges with eager curiosity.
