- 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
- accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet
- 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
- 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
- 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
- continuously improve the operational systems that connect strategy to execution. This is not a coordination or program management role. It's a build role. You'll own outcomes end-to-end and raise the operational ceiling of the company.
- What you’ll do
- Run planning for Stripe. You'll own and execute how Stripe does annual planning including multiple offshoot workstreams
- the frameworks leadership uses to make decisions. Continuous improvement of existing processes, automating manual workflows and helping us redesign lighter ways to do the work in the future.
- scale central operations infrastructure. You'll identify where manual, repetitive
- fragmented processes are creating drag and replace them with scalable systems—whether that's working with others on structured data pipelines, AI-augmented workflows
- new tooling. Your first instinct is to build, not to coordinate.
- Translate strategy into operational reality. 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
- own the follow-through.
- Drive continuous operational improvement. You'll have direct working relationships with the most senior leaders at Stripe and challenge assumptions, not just execute against them. You'll maintain a running view of where the operational systems of the company are breaking down—where decisions are slow, handoffs are unclear
- accountability is diffuse—and work across teams to address root causes.
- Who you are
- We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
- Minimum 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
- A track record of building and owning operational systems. You have measurably improved how a company or large team operates, not just managed existing processes.
- Deep experience either with company or functional planning—annual planning, OKR and SOKR-style goal-setting, resource allocation, and operating cadence design
- A systems thinker who is automation-first—you instinctively reach for tools, data pipelines, and AI-augmented workflows to reduce manual overhead and increase leverage
- 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
- Experience working directly with and presenting to C-suite and senior executive stakeholders. You're comfortable owning the room and bringing a sharp, independent perspective.
- High comfort with ambiguity—you take an undefined operational problem, scope it, design a solution, and drive it to completion with minimal oversight
- Technical proficiency in AI tools in order to automate workflows as needed
- Experience applying automation-thinking and scaled approaches to operational workflows—from analysis and synthesis to systems and decision support
- Prior experience at a technology company is required.
- Preferred qualifications
- 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
