Mid-Market Account Executive (Japan)

Who we are

About Stripe

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.

About The Team

A Stripe Commercial (Mid-Market) Account Executive partners with high-growth, under-penetrated mid-market businesses to help them scale and modernize their financial infrastructure. These companies—often tech-forward, founder-led, and rapidly scaling—represent Stripe’s next generation of breakout users.

Stripe Commercial AEs are responsible for both acquiring new users and expanding existing relationships. They guide companies through the full sales lifecycle, uncovering pain points, aligning on solutions across Stripe’s product suite, and driving long-term value. Commercial AEs serve as strategic advisors, helping users unlock new revenue, streamline operations, and launch ambitious new products on top of Stripe’s platform.

 

What you’ll do

Commercial AEs own a book of high-potential accounts—some already using Stripe, others still evaluating. They operate with a dual motion: hunting for new growth opportunities and farming existing relationships for deeper adoption and expansion. They work cross-functionally with Solutions, Product, Post-Sales, and Sales Ops to craft tailored strategies and execute at high velocity.

Responsibilities

  • Identify high-potential fast-growing eCommerce platform for a full-stack Stripe implementation, from payments to Connect
  • Lead a product and pricing workshop with an existing user to introduce Radar and optimize their fraud stack
  • Develop and execute an outbound play to target a new vertical in their region or territory.
  • Create and deliver compelling product walkthroughs to showcase how Stripe’s expanding product suite (like Issuing or Treasury) maps to customer goals
  • Drive commercial discussions and close complex, high-impact deals—both net-new and upsell
  • Partner with Customer Success and Solutions Architects to resolve user pain points and deepen Stripe integration
  • Share feedback with Product and Marketing teams to help inform roadmap and messaging priorties
