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

Stripe is looking for a senior product strategist-operator to join the Strategic Business Performance (SBP) team. SBP is the "connective tissue" of Stripe. You will have a front-row seat to how the company operates and a direct hand in ensuring we hit our most important goals. If you are a technical strategist who loves to move fast and fix high-stakes problems, we'd love to hear from you.

SBP is a small, high-leverage group within Central Strategy & Operations at Stripe. Our mission is to create strategic clarity around Stripe's performance. We work with partner teams to report on the business; dive into it to support and pressure-test our strategy, driving change wherever we find soft spots and enabling the success of other teams.

We are looking for someone who connects across data, financials and product & business strategy. and can unearth a signal in the noise and either fix the problem directly or convene the right people to fix it fast.

What you'll do

In this role, you will work cross-functionally within our group and across Stripe's technical and user-facing teams to solve problems and design workflows that benefit our users. Specifically:

• Own the "Signal": You will define and maintain the metrics that actually matter for in-year performance. You'll develop a "morning read" discipline-a curated, high-signal view of the business that drives immediate action, moving far beyond standard dashboarding.
• Deep-Dive Interventions: You will lead "surge" projects to diagnose and unblock critical goals at risk. You aren't just identifying problems; you are staying in the arena until the trajectory has measurably changed.
• Bridge Product & Strategy: You will translate long-horizon corporate theses into in-year operational reality. You'll take ambiguous opportunities that cut across product, risk, and marketing and decompose them into structured workstreams.
• Synthesize for Leadership: You'll think ahead of our executive team, preparing CEO/COO-level materials that translate unstructured signals into structured diagnoses they can act on.
• Pressure-test our Assumptions: You'll work closely with Corporate Strategy and Product teams to identify gaps between our external market forces and our internal execution.

Who you are
