Executive Escalations Program Manager

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 Executive Customer Relations team exists within Operations to help address the most escalated user issues.  This team responds to users who have sent their issue or concerns to an executive at Stripe. We own the resolution of the immediate issue at hand, as well as ensuring that the factors that led to the escalation are addressed and remediated. 

Ultimately, these cases often shine a light on points of failures within Stripe, and the ECR team has the opportunity to create transformative user experiences, while also helping edit Stripe to rectify the structural issues that resulted in the escalation in the first place.

This is a high visibility, high impact role, with the responsibility to lead a team and program who works with execs, users and cross functional stakeholders, all while helping drive operational excellence and outstanding user experience.

What you’ll do

 

Responsibilities

  • Respond to incoming emails from Stripe executives and provide concise, relevant, executive level updates on a regular basis during regular business hours Monday through Friday
  • Communicate directly with users to solve the most painful problems, via phone and email
  • Drive fast resolution and demonstrate extreme ownership in solving users issues completely
  • Conduct thorough, data-driven root causes analyses of escalations, and work with partner teams to validate findings
  • Collaborate with partner teams to identify remediations to address root causes of escalations and drive change from a users’ first mentality
  • Challenge the status quo, identifying how and where Stripe needs to improve to better serve users.
  • Help build this team and process from the ground up
  • Build relationships with partner teams and drive accountability for completion of remediations
  • Understand and help influence the relevant product roadmaps that will address the most frequent issues that are escalated to executives

Hybrid work at Stripe

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users.
