We’re looking for a Finance & Strategy Partner to serve as the primary strategic advisor to the Finance, Corporate Development and Communications organizations. In this role, you’ll use financial insights to guide investment decisions, improve forecast accuracy, and optimize how we build for Stripes and our users. You’ll combine strategic finance, operational rigor, and cross-functional leadership to ensure these investments drive efficiency, enhance employee experience, and create long-term business value.

Responsibilities

  • Identify and drive opportunities for process automation, standardization, simplification and data streamlining to improve reporting accuracy and decision velocity.
  • Partner with cross functional teams, such as Data Science, Controllership, Legal, Marketing to ensure alignment and seamless execution
  • Translate complex financial and operational data into clear narratives for executive audiences.

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.

  • Strong financial modeling skills and experience with large, multi-variable planning tools.
  • Demonstrated ability to partner with senior leaders and cross-functional stakeholders to influence decisions through financial insight.
  • Proven track record leading core finance processes (budgeting, forecasting, negotiations).
  • Excellent communication skills (written and verbal), able to distill complex information into clear, actionable guidance
  • Comfortable operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with a hands-on, solution-oriented mindset
  • Self-starter who builds strong cross-functional relationships and delivers results with minimal oversight.
  • Highly analytical, detail-oriented, and capable of bringing structure to unstructured problems.

You will also likely have (not required):

  • Experience working at a high-growth technology or financial services company
  • Experience managing headcount and operating expenses
  • Oracle, Anaplan, Tableau or other equivalent application experience
  • Experience with SQL, Python or a willingness to learn

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in our Bucharest, Romania site have an 80% in-office expectation, and those in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico and Bengaluru, India work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $147,200 - $220,800. 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.
