Product Manager, Local Payment Methods Cost Optimization

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 payments landscape is changing rapidly and our team is at the forefront of this change. Depending on where you live, you may be used to paying with a credit card (United States), iDeal (Netherlands) or UPI (India), amongst hundreds of other global payment methods. It turns out how you pay is increasingly dependent on where you are and what business you're buying from. The Local Payment Methods team is responsible for Stripe's fastest growing payments business. We build the payment methods that help businesses drastically increase their revenues and grow their business. Undergirding all of this we also build the platform that allows us to build and distribute payment methods at scale

What you’ll do

We're looking for a senior Product Manager to lead a pillar within our LPM Cost Optimization team. In this role, you will leverage your extensive experience turning ambiguous problems into clear and actionable deliverables, aligning internal and external leaders on a shared, ambitious vision. You'll help define the most relevant local payment methods to build (breadth) and aspects of payment methods to invest in (depth) to deliver the best outcomes for Stripe users. You will build towards the long-term vision for local payment methods at Stripe, becoming a subject-matter expert for a subset of Stripe's most strategic payment partners. This will involve close collaboration with Stripe's and our financial partners’ product and engineering organizations to prioritize valuable investments over a multi-quarter roadmap, considering distribution potential, performance, costs, and risks..

Responsibilities

  • Develop the long-term vision and strategy for your pillar within the Local Payment Methods team, and create and execute on a compelling roadmap.
  • Deeply understand our users’ (merchants and partners) needs by spending time with partnership managers, risk, legal, compliance, data science, engineering, products, and go-to-market teams, and by observing patterns and trends across their feedback and the industry.
  • Collaborate with product marketing and go-to-market teams to turn your multi-quarter roadmap into compelling and actionable narratives.
  • Build deep user empathy with both Stripe's merchants and financial partners, understanding global payment industry trends and competitors' offerings to influence Stripe's roadmap effectively.
  • Work closely with Stripe and our financial partner's product and engineering organizations to define the most valuable investments, factoring in aspects such as distribution potential, performance, costs, and risks.
  • Become a subject-matter expert for a subset of Stripe's most strategic payment partners, ensuring they receive the support and insights needed to succeed.

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

  • 7+ years in a product management or product-adjacent role, with a proven track record building highly impactful products
  • Demonstrated experience partnering closely with engineers, designers, and external partners to build products and complex systems at scale.
  • Ability to effectively communicate with and influence both user-facing and partner-facing stakeholders.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a knack for precise and concise articulation of user problems
  • Analytical mindset, proven experience working cross-functionally to turn data insights into strategic decisions.
  • Ability to thrive in a dynamic and fast-paced environment with significant autonomy and responsibility.
  • Background delivering successfully on multi-quarter roadmaps and aligning diverse stakeholders to achieve shared goals.
  • Strong business acumen and comfort with complex ecosystem and platform-level problems.

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience with online payments, deep understanding of the conversion, costs, and risk trade-offs.
  • Experience optimizing revenue outcome for an online and/or point-of-sale payments business
  • Experience working with financial partners and users from various geographies and cultures.

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 $178,600 - $268,000. 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.
