- Conducting in-depth market research to identify unmet customer needs and emerging market trends that can be addressed through new product initiatives.
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including engineering, design, and go-to-market, to turn product ideas into viable, customer-centric solutions.

- Developing and executing go-to-market strategies to ensure successful product launches and ongoing customer adoption.
- Identifying and mitigating potential risks and challenges throughout the product development process.

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.

- 8+ years of product management experience, with a focus on new product development and incubation.
- Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally and collaborate effectively with engineering, design, marketing, and other teams.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to make data-driven decisions.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate complex ideas to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- An entrepreneurial mindset and a willingness to take on ambiguous, high-impact projects.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience in the financial technology or payments industry
- Experience founding or working at a startup, either as an employee or entrepreneur
- Experience with iterative hypothesis-driven product development and experimentation
- Taking an ownership mindset and working on whatever it takes to solve problems and delight users
- Experience aligning a broad set of stakeholders via strong written and verbal communication skills

- Ability to thrive with significant autonomy and responsibility
Hybrid work at Stripe
This role is available either in an office or a remote location (typically, 35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).
Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.
A remote location, in most cases, is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. 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. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently or plan to live.
Pay and benefits
The annual US base salary range for this role is $162,300 - $243,600. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.
Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
