About the role
- 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.
- 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 & role Stripe is looking for a senior operator and systems thinker to join the Central Strategy and Operations (S&O) team.
Responsibilities
- Build, automate, and scale central operations infrastructure.
- Your first instinct is to build, not to coordinate.
- Help teams drive strategic discussions in leadership forums with your thinking and architecture.
- Prepare and run leadership-level operating forums, bring your own point of view into the room, and own the follow-through.
- Drive continuous operational improvement.
- You'll maintain a running view of where the operational systems of the company are breaking down-where decisions are slow, handoffs are unclear, or accountability is diffuse-and work across teams to address root causes.
- Strong analytical rigor-you're comfortable owning data and metrics directly, running your own analyses, and pressure-testing assumptions without relying on a dedicated analytics partner
- High comfort with ambiguity-you take an undefined operational problem, scope it, design a solution, and drive it to completion with minimal oversight
- Experience applying automation-thinking and scaled approaches to operational workflows-from analysis and synthesis to systems and decision support
Requirements
- 15+ years of work experience, with a significant portion in operational roles at high-growth tech companies-product operations, strategy and operations, business operations, or company or corporate planning
- You have measurably improved how a company or large team operates, not just managed existing processes.
- Experience working directly with and presenting to C-suite and senior executive stakeholders.
- Technical proficiency in AI tools in order to automate workflows as needed
- Prior experience at a technology company is required.
- We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role.
Nice to have
- Background in fintech, management consulting, or investment banking is a plus, but not required.
- Experience with the product and infrastructure ecosystem at Stripe or similar complex platform businesses
- Familiarity with modern planning tools, workflow automation platforms, and operational data infrastructure
- While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office.
- South San Francisco HQ, or Seattle
Compensation
- You'll own and execute how Stripe does annual planning including multiple offshoot workstreams, and the frameworks leadership uses to make decisions.
- Deep experience either with company or functional planning-annual planning, OKR and SOKR-style goal-setting, resource allocation, and operating cadence design
Benefits
- The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
Company info
- 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 & role
- Stripe is looking for a senior operator and systems thinker to join the Central Strategy and Operations (S&O) team. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who is obsessed with how organizations actually work and who builds the infrastructure that makes Stripe faster, clearer, and more coordinated as it scales.
- Central S&O sits at the center of how Stripe runs as a company.
- This role specifically owns the machinery of company operations-the planning processes, operating rhythms, information architecture, and cross-functional systems that let the leadership team at Stripe make better decisions, faster.
- If you're the kind of person who looks at a broken process and immediately starts designing the system that replaces it-and who reaches for automation before asking for headcount-this role is for you.
- You'll work across the most senior leaders at Stripe and partner teams to design, run, and continuously improve the operational systems that connect strategy to execution.
- This is not a coordination or program management role.
- You'll own outcomes end-to-end and raise the operational ceiling of the company.
- Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses.
- Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead.
