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.
The Sales Compensation team at Stripe is responsible for the overall compensation strategy, design, and payment administration for the global sales organization. We ensure that Stripe's objectives align with the compensation program and that our sales teams are paid accurately and on time. We provide thought leadership for the go-to-market initiatives so that performance and compensation are effectively correlated. The Sales Compensation team partners closely with the revenue-generating and support functions across Stripe to support the success of our go-to-market efforts.
In this role, you'll digest critical data sets of our sales performance and correlation to variable compensation. The objective is to provide advanced analytics that translate raw trends into a compelling business narrative, synthesizing the strategic implications, quantifying the business impact, and prescribing actionable next steps to shape compensation strategies for our fast-growing sales force. As Stripe's sales teams and commercial strategy grow in size and complexity, this information is required to ensure we have industry-leading compensation mechanisms to motivate and reward our world-class sales organization.
An equally important component of your role is supporting the enhancement and use of our Incentive Compensation Management (ICM) tool. You'll work closely with our experienced product expert to ensure we use our ICM to its maximum capacity for compensation calculations and reporting.
You'll be equally passionate about data analytics and excel as a program management partner for a compensation system. You'll need experience working with significant autonomy to design an analytics framework for compensation performance measurement, as well as part of a team to support compensation calculations. You bring proven leverage of analytics and quantitative data to calculate and validate compensation. You also bring resilience and the ability to both partner and lead in cross-functional situations.
This role is based out of Stripe's South San Francisco, Chicago, or New York City offices.
