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.

About the team

The Alliances and Channels (A&C) team is responsible for building a vibrant ecosystem of partners that accelerates our mission. Within A&C, the Programs team drives partner success and ecosystem growth at scale through programs, incentives, enablement, and operational rigor.
The Platform Co-sell Initiative enables SaaS platforms to co-sell Stripe alongside their enterprise and commercial customers globally. The program spans platform qualification and readiness, direct sales enablement, commercial model development, and go-to-market framework design across AMER, EMEA, and APAC—and operates at the center of A&C's strategy for scaling partner-sourced revenue.

What you’ll do

You will own the day-to-day operation of the Platform Co-sell Initiative—a high-visibility, cross-functional program that runs to senior sales and partnerships leadership—building the operating system that allows Stripe's partner managers, channel sales, and direct sales teams to co-sell at scale. You will run the platform qualification funnel, own program reporting, manage the cadences that keep sales and partner teams aligned, and build the commercial frameworks that govern how the program grows.

This role spans program management, operations, and analytics. It's for someone equally comfortable shipping a dashboard, running a quarterly business review, and drafting a framework for how to tier a partner portfolio—and who raises the quality bar without needing a big team.

Responsibilities

• Own the A&C co-sell program end-to‑end: define what co-sell readiness means across partner types, maintain the standards that govern which partners enter the motion and how, and serve as the connective tissue between partner teams and the direct sales organization
• Own the platform qualification funnel from nomination through co‑sell readiness and activation, including intake standards, progress tracking, partner health monitoring, and portal operations
• Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reporting for program health and outcomes (platform activation, co‑sell pipeline, deal conversion, incentives throughput); define metrics and documentation so reporting is trusted and reusable
• Develop seller-facing reporting experiences that make partner signals actionable (account views with signal type, recency, and deal stage)
• Partner with GTM Ops and data owners to improve data availability and attribution; identify gaps and drive pragmatic fixes
• Own the operating interface with the sales development representatives that support partners: intake standards, routing rules, play briefs, QA loop, and weekly/monthly performance readouts tied to SLAs and pipeline outcomes
• Operationalize and track the effectiveness of partner‑ready sales plays end-to‑end (inputs, workflows, scorecards, iteration loop) and drive a consistent cadence to monitor and improve execution
• Build the frameworks that govern how the program scales: platform engagement tiers, low‑touch model, and capacity planning
• Proactively identify at‑risk program work and step in to unblock delivery when timelines or data quality are at risk

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

• 7+ years of experience in program management, partnerships operations, GTM strategy, or revenue operations; or 5+ years with deep, end‑to‑end ownership of a complex cross-functional program
• Demonstrated experience running complex multi‑stakeholder programs—standing up cadences, managing qualification funnels, defining metrics, and delivering executive-facing readouts
• Hands‑on analytics skill, including comfort with Salesforce and SQL (or equivalent) and experience building dashboards used operationally by field teams
