Head of Marketing Operations

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

The Marketing Operations team drives excellence across the shared infrastructure that the marketing and sales development teams depend on: lead routing and lead management, prospect data, campaign production, marketing systems, and sales development systems. The infrastructure covers three vertical channel groups: inbound and outbound sales, digital marketing, and in-person events. We ensure that the underlying operations and systems are reliable, scalable, and well-maintained. In close partnership with Demand Generation Systems, Marketing Operations enables global and region marketers and Sales Development Representatives to focus on driving revenue rather than wrestling with operations and systems.

What you’ll do

We are looking for a Head of Marketing Operations to lead a critical team to help power Stripe's growth. You will set the direction of marketing operations, solve time-sensitive and complex operational and systems challenges, and develop managers and individual contributors. You will be an indispensable partner to peers in Marketing, Sales Development, Product Management, Engineering, Analytics, and Data Science. You will be directly responsible for a global marketing operations team of 15-20, in addition to 25-30 production specialists with a dotted-line reporting relationship.

Responsibilities

  • Drive excellence in the operations and systems that support inbound and outbound sales, digital marketing channels, and in-person events
  • Partner with Demand Generation Systems to build, buy, improve, and support the technology for digital marketing campaigns, in-person events, and sales development
  • Ensure that we accurately route and progress leads to match sales coverage decisions, demand marketing strategies, and agreed upon timelines
  • Ensure that we generate and maintain sufficient account coverage and quality of sales contacts and marketing database subscribers for sales and marketing outreach
  • Ensure that we produce digital marketing campaigns with velocity and at the highest quality
  • Serve as the senior marketing operations voice in cross-functional workstreams with Sales Development, Sales Operations, Revenue, and Regional Marketing teams
  • Build, develop, and retain a high-performing marketing operations team
  • Set strategic direction, objectives, and key results for the Marketing Operations organization, aligned to broader marketing and Stripe-wide objectives and key results

Hybrid work at Stripe

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

In-office expectations

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.

Working remotely at Stripe

A remote location 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 live or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $202,200 - $303,400. 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.
