• Manage the Partner Marketing events budget and forecasting process, tracking commitments and actual spend, identifying risks early, and maintaining forecast accuracy within 1% accuracy .
• Integrate Partner Marketing-led events into regional and global marketing calendars. Coordinate with regional, field, partner, and global marketing teams to align timing, audiences, messaging, and resources; identify conflicts or gaps; and recommend solutions that maximize collective impact.

You build trusted relationships across teams, communicate clearly, and balance attention to executional detail with a focus on business impact.

Minimum Requirements

• 7+ years of relevant experience in B2B event marketing, partner marketing, field marketing, or marketing program management, including online and in-person programs.
• Experience independently managing complex, cross-functional programs, including defining timelines, deliverables, dependencies, roles, and success measures.

Hybrid work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

In-office expectations

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.

Working remotely at Stripe

A remote location 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 live or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $143,400 - $215,200. 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.
