What the job involves
- In this role, you’ll be the go-to expert for your business area - in this case, the Product Experience Operations team that works to design, incubate, and scale “specialized” operations that are essential to users’ product experience
- You’ll be hands-on and responsible for delivering critical insights, ensuring data driven decision making is at the core of what we do
- You’ll also drive the rhythm of the business, partnering with operations leadership to drive business strategy, planning, goal-setting and performance tracking
- You may also scope and lead mission critical projects and execute on strategic initiatives
- Metrics & Insights: Wrangle large, highly complex datasets using SQL into actionable insights and become the data expert for your business area
- Develop metrics and large-scale dashboards to track the health of our user-facing and internal teams
- Perform analyses (using SQL & other analytical tools/languages), identify trends, conduct research, build models, all to deliver objective, critical insights that can inform leadership of opportunities, risks, and strategic priorities
- Communicate with executives: Create narratives and documents that tell the story of your business area to influence senior Operations leadership and Stripe executive team decision making
- Stakeholder management: Influence and drive cross-functional change by partnering with stakeholders across a wide internal network of globally distributed teams, including Ops, Finance, Data Science, Product/Engineering, and more
- Drive operational excellence: Design, optimize and drive operational reviews and rhythm of the business
- Guide the planning and goal-setting process for your business area, as well as progress checks throughout the year
- Bring and consistently apply a ROI lens to all operational decisions, so we can make better-informed trade-offs
- Strategy & Analytics (S&A) maximizes and accelerates Operations' ability to make Stripe work for our users
- We aspire to be the COOs for Stripe Ops, working cross-functionally with global teams to help run the day-to-day business and articulate and achieve the longer term, high effort, high value strategic priorities
- We take a data-driven approach that combines strategy and analytics to help Ops leaders solve their most complex and most important issues while also driving the business planning and operational cadence end-to-end, from strategy to goal-setting to execution
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.
