Job description

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, and accelerate new business opportunities. 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.

What you’ll do

We’re hiring a Product Manager to lead Stripe’s India business strategy and product roadmap. We are seeking a highly entrepreneurial, data-driven product leader who will own growth, go-to-market, and product execution for India. You will shape how Stripe serves India’s rapidly evolving digital economy - from domestic merchants and platforms to ambitious Indian companies scaling globally - and move quickly to capture significant market opportunities.

India is one of the fastest-growing markets in the world: vast consumer demand, rapid merchant digitization, and a vibrant startup ecosystem. At the same time, Indian businesses are increasingly global - building products and services that sell across borders. This role sits at the intersection of domestic market expansion and global enablement: you’ll build products and commercial plays that unlock revenue across India and empower Indian companies to reach customers worldwide. The impact you drive will influence Stripe’s position in an increasingly strategic market.

Responsibilities

• Own the India product strategy and roadmap end-to-end: define vision, prioritize initiatives, and measure outcomes tied to growth, revenue, and merchant satisfaction.
• Lead cross-functional teams (engineering, design, data science, ops, legal/compliance, sales, partnerships) to deliver product features, integrations, and commercial programs tailored to India.
• Move quickly from insight to experiment: design and run rapid experiments, launch localized features and pricing, and iterate based on quantitative and qualitative feedback.
• Deeply understand Indian merchants, platforms, PSPs, gateways, regulators and payment rails; translate market dynamics into product differentiation and commercial opportunity.
• Build products and flows that make it simpler for Indian businesses to sell globally — cross-border routing, FX and reconciliation, compliance, payout rails, and developer experience improvements.
• Partner with partnerships and business development teams to secure and scale strategic distribution and platform integrations.
• Represent the product and market perspective to regional and global stakeholders; provide clear decision-making and trade-off rationale.

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

• Demonstrated product leadership in payments, fintech, marketplaces, or developer platform products, with 12+ years of experience in product management or equivalent roles.
• Deep knowledge of the Indian payments and commerce ecosystem: local payment methods, banks, regulatory landscape.
• Track record of shipping localized products and scaling go-to-market plays in India (or similar complex emerging markets).
• Strong analytical instincts: experience running experiments, using metrics to drive decisions.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and skilled at prioritizing high-impact initiatives while moving quickly and iterating.
• Excellent communicator and collaborator who can influence across engineering, legal, operations, and sales.
• Customer-obsessed with first-hand experience talking to merchants, partners, and developer communities; able to translate feedback into product requirements.
• Entrepreneurial mindset, bias for action, and experience operating with limited resources to unlock outsized outcomes.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with cross-border payments, currency conversion, payouts, or compliance for global trade.
• Prior work with developer platforms, SDKs/APIs, or businesses that serve platforms and marketplaces.
• Experience liaising with regulators or navigating complex compliance requirements.
