What you’ll do

As an Enterprise Account Executive, you’ll own the full sales cycle, from prospecting and closing to managing existing relationships and identifying new opportunities to expand Stripe’s footprint within existing accounts. Specifically, we’re looking for someone who can execute on long-term sales strategies, engage with internal and external stakeholders, align on technical and business requirements with product teams, build value in competitive situations, lead commercial negotiations, and close deals.

  • Perform strategic account mapping across target organizations to build deep, multi-threaded relationships with business and technical leaders.
  • Collaborate with sales engineering, product, and leadership to refine outbound playbooks and elevate Stripe’s net-new acquisition strategy in the Nordics.
  • Lead and contribute to team projects to develop and refine our sales process and help shape the Stripe sales culture.

  • Ability to understand technical requirements and craft solutions across multiple products
  • Proactive experience sourcing pipeline independently through cold outreach, executive networking, and strategic prospecting.

  • Superior verbal and written communication skills in English
  • Ability to operate in a highly ambiguous and fast-paced environment

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.
