About Stripe

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

The SaaS Platform team works with European Vertical and Horizontal SaaS businesses in one of Stripe’s must‑win segments. At Stripe SaaS platforms are companies using Stripe to embed payments and make financial services a core part of their own product, meaning their partnership with Stripe is vital to the success of their business like Shopify, Lightspeed and Mindbody.

SaaS platforms are a global priority for Stripe and our team identifies and develops Stripe’s future strategic accounts in Europe. We identify and partner with high‑potential companies helping them leverage Stripe’s solutions to better support their users, scale globally and create new revenue streams through monetisation of payments and financial services.

As a Sales Manager at Stripe you’ll play an instrumental role in fueling Stripe’s growth in this high priority segment through new customer acquisition.

You’ll lead and coach high‑performing enterprise account executives helping them deliver on ambitious targets as well as roll up your sleeves to work directly with users. We are looking for an individual who is keen to work alongside a high‑performing team of individuals to navigate complex sales cycles.

You’ll own team performance, focusing both on delivering key sales metrics while also thinking like a CEO to drive internal and external projects to make the team and the segment excel.

Responsibilities

• Recruit, coach and lead a team of enterprise sales professionals responsible for Stripe’s SaaS Platforms users.
• Help leadership define and implement the long‑term vision and strategy for the team and manage day‑to‑day operations with a focus on performance against key sales metrics.
• Support your team to develop and implement full sales‑cycle strategies from pipe‑gen to deal closing to implementation.
• Coach and guide the team in developing consultative and solution‑based sales skills through all facets of the sales cycle.
• Solve complex client needs and work across product sales risk and operations together with your team to improve our product.
• Make sure that internal teams are set up for users’ success by coordinating with other Stripe teams such as solution architects, SDRs, marketing, product and many more.
• Inspire, motivate and enable personal and career development of team members both to promote career growth and to increase impact for Stripe.
