Total Rewards Project Manager – Strategy & Execution

Stripe; United States; On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Stripe is seeking a Project Manager within the Total Rewards Strategy & Enablement team to own high‑priority Total Rewards programs end to end. You’ll partner with Benefits, Compensation, Equity, Talent Mobility, and M&A pillars, shaping approaches where playbooks exist and creating structure where they don’t.

You will surface dependencies, mitigate risks, and drive multi‑stakeholder alignment, bringing rigor and judgment to every project you own.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of People project, program, or operations management experience, including at least 3 years driving multi-stakeholder, cross-functional programs end to end
• A track record of building from scratch: you created processes, playbooks, or program infrastructure where none existed before
• Excellent written communication: you can produce an executive update, a stakeholder decision memo, and a practitioner playbook with equal fluency
• Strong stakeholder management across senior cross-functional partners: you drive results with urgency and thoughtfulness, and know when to push, align, or elevate
• AI expertise: you default to AI tools for synthesis, drafting, analysis, and communications, and you design workflows that move the team faster
• Analytical fluency: you can work with data to build a credible narrative and identify patterns across a program portfolio
• A users-first mindset: you obsess over the Stripe employee experience and the operator experience, not just artifacts

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end project management for high-profile cyclical and transformational Total Rewards projects, from intake and scoping through go-live and handoff to program owners
• Advise and embed with project teams across the Total Rewards and People portfolio, raising the quality bar and building PM capability across the extended team, not just doing the work yourself
• Build subject matter expertise across Benefits, Compensation, Equity, Talent Mobility, and M&A — becoming a reliable strategic thought partner to pillar teams on program decisions, not just a tracker of status
• Build, automate, and continuously improve the infrastructure that makes program management repeatable and scalable: intake frameworks, project plan templates, SOPs, playbooks, and handoff checklists for common program types
• Leverage AI tools in your daily work and the team's workflows, using them to accelerate synthesis, drafting, stakeholder communications, and documentation, and actively identifying new opportunities to work faster and better
• Drive cross-functional alignment across People and key partner functions (Legal, Finance, Corporate Technology, and others), creating shared visibility into priorities, dependencies, and blockers
• Tackle complex, ambiguous program questions with rigor and independence, owning work from problem definition through final recommendation — including defining the approach, monitoring progress, identifying risks early, and putting mitigation in place before issues land
• Surface patterns and gaps across the program portfolio, translating observations into structured analysis and recommendations for People leadership
