About the team

Tax Operations delivers systematic & scalable support for Stripe’s user tax reporting collection & compliance processes & products. We exist to strengthen Stripe’s operational backbone and help the company adapt to a changing environment, anticipate and respond to challenges, and advocate for the needs of our users. We focus on identifying tax compliance work that needs to be operationalized and use our partnership model to scale these workflows and processes.

This team is focused on operationalizing customer support and internal efficiency for tax products & processes such as:

  • Yearly user tax reporting requirements (ie. US forms 1099, CP2100, FATCA)
  • User onboarding tax information & form collection (ie. US forms W-8, W-9, global VAT ID)
  • Large scale, user outreach tax projects
  • Tax product & process launches & updates

What you’ll do

Stripe is looking for a senior program manager to join Tax Operations to work closely with our Operations, Policy, Product, & Engineering teams, in addition to multiple other stakeholders across Stripe to deepen the operational foundations enabling successfully scaled Stripe support and internal processes for existing and newly launched tax compliance products and programs. As a result, you’ll ensure the Stripe user experience is always top of mind and impact on their business is minimized. The successful candidate flourishes in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and is excited to solve sensitive, complex user problems. 

Responsibilities

  • Build scaled support and continuous improvement for product & process launches including working with cross-functional teams to stand up user-facing, vendor, and internal documentation, training, and workflows, along with support forecasting and associated planning
  • Manage the completion of milestones and delivery of large-scale, cross-functional, user-facing and internal initiatives.
  • Prepare data analytics to monitor trends on key user support indicators of product health and deliver data-driven product and support improvements
  • Refine tools, strategize and organize processes and education to increase the quality of the user experience; identify and prevent possible gaps in compliance with regulatory standards and successfully collaborate with multiple Stripe teams to execute proactive prevention strategies and action plans. 
  • Manage the end-to-end life cycle of tax reporting product launches; including scoping requirements and features, design review, testing, launch, post-launch support, and product and support feedback and improvements.

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in operational, product, consulting, or project management roles.
  • A strong sense on how to scale great user experiences and can design and continuously improve operational processes. 
  • A history of building scaled, proactive, users-first support solutions.
  • Have experience executing and delivering complex operational projects working directly with diverse, distributed teams and their cross-functional stakeholders
  • Enjoy a fast-paced work environment and crafting rapid and strategic fixes to high intensity, sensitive problems.
  • You have strong written and verbal communication skills with strong empathy for solving user problems. 
  • Data driven decision making is your happy place.
  • Are comfortable navigating through ambiguity, and have a keen eye for detail and a high bar for quality. 
  • Have a tactical, empathetic mindset and are a curious, resourceful, self-starter.

Preferred qualifications

  • Proficiency in SQL, Splunk or equivalent query languages
  • PMP certification or other relevant business management certifications
  • Previous Tax, regulatory, or compliance experience or experience in a high growth technology company 
  • Comfort with some technical troubleshooting 

 

Hybrid work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (typically, 35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

A remote location, in most cases, is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $122,200 - $183,300. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
