Who we are

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.

About The Team

The Finance and Strategy team is an integral thought partner to Stripe's core functional leaders. We bring understanding and predictability to Stripe's bottom-line financials. We work cross-functionally across many surfaces at Stripe and help steward Stripe's resource investments to improve the durability of our long-term financial performance.

What you’ll do

We're looking for a Finance and Strategy Analyst to join our growing teams on the Go-to-Market (GTM) and Partnerships teams. You'll help us with the forecasting, budgeting, and reporting for various departments accurately and in a timely manner and deliver improvements in our integrated financial systems with business partners, financial colleagues, and engineers.

Responsibilities

• Leverage your financial background to support and influence key strategic and business decisions
• Design and provide analytical rigor to measure efficiency and ROI of investments in headcount and non-headcount expenses
• Drive reporting, process, and discipline for finance routines to shape and influence decision-making (e.g. budget, forecast, monthly reviews, long-range plans)
• Build and own models for in-depth analyses, as well as ensure their quality, timeliness, and accuracy
• Define metrics and leading indicators of business performance
• Partner with cross-functional teams, such as Data Science, to develop reporting dashboards
• Drive continuous process improvement, standardization, simplification, and reporting enhancements

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

• 4–6 years of relevant experience in strategic finance or FP&A
• B.A. or B.S degree in related field
• A keen eye for detail and experience building integrated models from scratch (in Excel or other planning applications)
• Experience driving and executing on finance processes (e.g. budget, forecast reviews, negotiations)
• A proven ability to build strong collaborative working relationships with business partners
• Excellent communication and organizational skills, both written and verbal

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working at a high-growth technology or financial services company
• Experience managing headcount and operating expenses
• Experience supporting Go-to-Market, Investment Banking, or Product Functions
• Oracle, Anaplan, Tableau, or other equivalent application experience
• Experience with Python or a willingness to learn
• Experience in data visualization and dashboarding

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $122,400 - $220,800. 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.

We look forward to hearing from you.

At Stripe, we're looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and passion will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns. At Stripe, we welcome diverse perspectives and people who think rigorously and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions. Join us.
