Role

Who you are

  • If you like hard problems, are analytical, and are an amazing teammate, we want to hear from you!
  • The ideal candidate for this role is an independent, strategic operator who is excited by rolling up their sleeves to ensure we are building the right continuous pricing strategy for our users
  • 4+ years of experience in consulting, strategy & operations, product strategy, product management, or similar roles with exposure to both business and technical skills
  • Experience working in highly cross-functional settings, and in a role that spans strategy, analysis, and operations in a fast-paced environment
  • Critical and first-principles thinking, with the ability to zoom out to the most important questions
  • Passion for digging deep into data to diagnose business issues and solve problems
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, with the the ability to speak to leaders across very different teams such as product, engineering, analytics, sales, and partnerships
  • An ability to execute with minimal guidance, and in contexts with a high degree of ambiguity

Desirable

  • Prior experience in payments, finance, fintech, or high-growth technology companies
  • Experience navigating large data sets and/or SQL

What the job involves

  • The Information Organization at Stripe focuses on enabling the effective use of data for decision-making and automation as well as scaling efficient go-to-market motions through strategy, technology, and data
  • We are a broad and diverse team spanning Data Science, Growth, ML Infrastructure, and Applied AI/ML
  • Data Science is a central team that partners with all parts of Stripe and uses data to make sure that we understand our users, their users, the Stripe business, and make near-optimal decisions (both automated within the product and strategically)
  • Growth is a cross-functional team that delivers the insights, algorithms, internal systems, tools, and user-facing experiences that help Stripe acquire, convert and grow millions of merchants globally
  • The ML Infrastructure group aims to provide state of the art infrastructure and support for building and operationalizing AI/ML models for all business verticals within Stripe
  • And finally, the Applied AI/ML team’s goal is to maximize the impact of AI/ML across Stripe’s user-facing products and internal operations
  • Strategy and Operations works cross functionally within Information and across Stripe to drive and enable the growth of the business
  • We lead mission-critical, cross-functional efforts, deliver objective analysis and insights, and execute on strategic initiatives
  • Whatever it is, we work on what will move the needle most for Stripe
  • We care about results, not activity, and we have fun doing it
  • In this role, you will work cross-functionally within our group and across Stripe’s technical and Strategy teams to help build out and execute pricing programs
  • Partner across Information Org leaders (Data Science, Growth, ML Infrastructure, and Applied AI/ML) on critical, cross-cutting projects
  • Drive analysis and research that will help inform Stripe’s overall strategy and help us make the right long-term decisions
  • Work directly with senior leaders across the company and with cross-functional partners to accelerate progress, solve hard scaling initiatives, and incubate new programs
  • Design and implement complex business and operational systems and processes

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.
