What the job involves
- In support of Stripe’s goal to build a flexible, customizable and extensible multi-product platform, Stripe needs a Partner Program that encompasses scaled partner efforts across multiple partner types using a common set of commercial models, tools and processes
- The partner portal provides a way to engage partners - including systems integrators, payment method partners, app developers and more - in a largely self-serve way
- As the Product Owner for the Partner Portal, you will champion the needs of our partners - both mature and emerging - to provide an exceptional experience with Stripe
- The role will sit within our Global Partnerships organization and develop Stripe’s portal strategy in close collaboration with our stakeholders across Stripe teams supporting various partner types
- You will build out personas and partner journeys to inform functional requirements and be accountable for the overall quality and impact of the portal
- You will partner with internal Stripe engineering and external partners to develop and launch features quickly, while establishing frameworks that will enable us to continue to scale
- Develop portal product strategy in collaboration with key stakeholders representing Stripe partner types (e.g. Local Payment Methods, Systems Integrators, Distribution Partners, etc)
- In collaboration with Engineering, build an extensible partner platform that will enable us to scale and quickly launch support for new partner types as our ecosystem grows
- Deeply understand the various personas Stripe’s Partner Ecosystem supports by engaging with partners to address their priorities and help them achieve their desired outcomes with Stripe
- Form and promote a point-of-view on how our tooling should support partners in a cohesive and extensive way (i.e. rather than an order-taker, be opinionated about how we support program requirements through the portal)
- In collaboration with stakeholders, establish and commit to a set of KPIs that reflect our target outcomes and drive initiatives with measurable impact
- Participate in weekly/daily syncs with developers to deliver against the roadmap, address technical questions, prioritize bug fixes, and groom the backlog
- Ensure high quality launches by adhering to Stripe launch requirements and looking for continuous improvements and feedback loops
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.
