- Consistent track record of shipping products with broad/global customer impact
- You have a track record of providing solid program management during all phases of software development from kick-off to ship, demonstrating critical thinking and thought leadership throughout

- Experience in large and dynamic digital marketplaces
What the job involves
- As a TPM, you will play a key role leading complex programs across multiple engineering, product and cross-functional (finance, legal, compliance, risk, and other) teams spanning Stripe.
- You will be an active contributor to the overall strategy of the program, drive technical decision making, and drive the execution of the program through all phases from planning to delivery.
- You will have the opportunity to implement mechanisms that make your programs effective and scale them to edit Stripe-level processes
- Drive functional and technical delivery of key team and org-wide programs/initiatives
- Collaborate with engineering teams to design, scope, and shepherd features
- Create functional specs, project / release plans, and roadmaps
- Own and execute one or more software engineering programs simultaneously
- Help drive product decisions to align with program and sometimes higher company initiatives
- Help influence peers / managers and build consensus while dealing with ambiguity
- Guide and manage the usage of agile methodologies to simplify project delivery
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."
