Job summary

Stripe is seeking a Senior Markets Program Manager in Singapore to lead end-to-end programs for new APAC markets, coordinating across Risk, Ops, Product, Eng, and Strategy. You’ll define readiness, manage milestones, and build scalable frameworks in a fast-moving, high-ambiguity environment.

You will work with global teams, influence senior stakeholders, and apply AI tools to accelerate work streams while contributing to a growing market expansion portfolio.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in a high-performance environment, managing complex, cross-functional programs or initiatives.
• Demonstrated ability to operate in ambiguity and build from 0→1 — you have a track record of figuring out the right approach on problems where no playbook exists
• Strong program management skills: you can track and drive multi-workstream initiatives, surface risks early, and keep stakeholders aligned without losing momentum
• Strong cross-functional leadership, with experience aligning Product, Eng, GTM, and Operations teams toward shared goals
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write sharp 1-pagers and present credibly to senior audiences
• AI fluency — you actively use AI tools to accelerate your work and can clearly articulate how and where you apply them

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end program management for new markets across Stripe's roadmap, focusing on APAC region
• Drive operational readiness across workstreams, tracking milestones, surfacing risks, and unblocking dependencies
• Navigate high ambiguity — this is a 0→1 space where you will be expected to figure out the right approach, not wait for one to be handed to you
• Build repeatable frameworks, playbooks, and reporting standards to support a growing and complex portfolio of markets
• Represent our team in senior level conversations across Stripe and have high judgment and accountability
• Provide critical coordination across Risk teams (Ops, Product, Eng, Strategy, and others) to ensure alignment and execution
• Partner closely with stakeholders to maintain momentum across a fast-moving roadmap
• Facilitate alignment across teams with competing priorities, resolve ambiguity, and ensure clear ownership at every stage of execution
• Identify operational impact, gap assessment, and other operational considerations to launch in new markets
• Ensure operational readiness across complex portfolio of programs, including forecasting, monitoring, and last-mile execution
• Maintain high operational rigor and execution discipline
