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 Competitive Programs team, which is part of the Go-to-Market (GTM) Strategic Programs team, is a new team dedicated to establishing and scaling Stripe’s Competitive Programs capability. Stripe operates in a dynamic and evolving competitive landscape. This role will help Stripe understand market developments and translate competitive insights into actionable guidance for teams and users.

The Competitive Programs team works alongside Market Intelligence to help Stripe identify meaningful threats and opportunities early, mobilize coordinated action across the company in priority situations, and turn market and deal signals into better Product, Marketing, and GTM decisions. We build the competitive operating system-program design, cross-functional coordination, deal-routing mechanisms, visibility, and accountability-while Product, Sales, PMM, Pricing, and other functions retain ownership for decisions and delivery in their domains.

This is a full-stack program manager role. While the initial assignment is Competitive Programs, we are looking for a versatile program manager who can apply the same skills to other high-priority GTM initiatives as the team’s mandate and Stripe’s needs evolve.

What you’ll do

You will lead complex, C-suite level high-priority programs that require Stripe to move quickly and cohesively across functions. Initially, you will:

• Build the foundations and operating mechanisms to turn ad hoc competitive programs into a repeatable, scalable playbook
• Run one or more named competitive programs to protect strategic business, close recurring gaps, and pursue opportunities to take share
• Partner with Stripe’s leadership to execute on initiatives to drive a strategic shift in company culture

You will be successful in this role if you can turn an ambiguous problem into a clear program with the right objectives, owners, decisions, operating cadence, and measures of success. You will be a trusted partner to executive leaders across Sales, Product, Product Operations, Marketing, Market Intelligence, Pricing, Finance & Strategy, and GTM Operations. You will not be expected to make Product roadmap, commercial-policy, or account-strategy decisions yourself; instead, you will ensure the right functional owners are engaged, accountable, and able to make decisions at the pace required. You will need (1) superior communication skills to work across senior stakeholders from different functions and (2) are someone who thrives when solving complex problems with limited oversight.

Responsibilities

• Build repeatable Competitive Programs infrastructure that can scale beyond individual competitors—for example, playbooks for deal escalation, commercial guidance, incentives, user-base analysis, regional teardowns, and cross-functional feedback loops.
• Lead named P0 and P1 competitive programs end-to-end, including defining the program charter, objectives, workplan, milestones, decision forums, and success measures.
• Establish and run the cross-functional operating cadence for each program; this may include delivery of critical program workstreams including product and regional teardowns, seller enablement, product-gap reviews, GTM plays and executive engagement plans.
• Coordinate competitive deal-triage and swarm mechanisms for priority opportunities, ensuring each deal has a clear commercial owner, response plan, and access to the required Product, Pricing, Legal, Risk, or executive support.
