About the team

As Stripe’s user base and global footprint grows dramatically, we have distinctly unique support problems resulting from both our type of scale and the type of businesses we partner with. The Product Support Operations (PSO) team plays a key role in efficiently solving our users’ issues. As part of our PSO team, you will be a critical driver in delivering exceptional user experiences. This role goes beyond basic troubleshooting—it's about using your technical expertise, analytical mindset, and project management skills to strategically improve our support systems, processes, and product quality. We strive to deliver frictionless experiences for all of our users, whether they are an Independent Business, Startup, SMB, or Enterprise and our mission is to provide all Stripe Users with the best support experience possible.

Our Quality team sits at the heart of that mission. We are responsible for defining and upholding the standards that shape every user interaction across our support verticals. We believe that quality is not just a score — it is a reflection of the care and expertise we bring to every user, every time.

In this role, you will own quality outcomes at your site, leading a team of approximately 6 Quality Analysts spanning multiple support verticals. Your team plays a critical role in upholding the quality standards that underpin the experience we deliver to Stripe's users and you will be the person who drives that standard forward at your site.

Beyond your team, you will serve as a key voice in the evolution of our quality program and a strategic partner to vertical leads. To be a great fit, you will have a quality first mindset, the ability to translate data into action, a track record of coaching others to grow, and the cross functional credibility to influence without authority across a multi vertical environment.
