Corporate Development (M&A) Integration Lead

Stripe • San Francisco, CA

5d

About The Position

Stripe's Corporate Development M&A Integration team manages the lifecycle of acquisitions from close through steady state. This team operates as the hub connecting Stripe's functional groups with each acquired company. The work is directly tied to some of Stripe's most strategically important bets, and the team actively manages a portfolio of acquisitions at different stages and integration models. The Integration team member will own program management of a major integration track, which could be an end-to-end integration, the core operational workstream, or the GTM workstream, depending on portfolio shape and deal stage. The expectation is to take direction, ramp fast, and effectively collaborate across dynamic cross-functional teams.

Requirements

• 4 to 8 years of experience in finance, operations, sales ops, marketing ops, or strategy, with a track record of owning complex cross-functional work in high-stakes environments
• Track record of managing multi-stakeholder projects end-to-end, navigating ambiguity without a playbook, and delivering on timelines that weren't fully in your control

Nice To Haves

• Experience managing peer-level relationships across multiple functions to drive outcomes without formal authority
• Ability to ramp quickly into new domains and structure ambiguous situations into actionable plans
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to write and speak decision-first to any audience
• Active, demonstrated use of AI tools to improve the quality and pace of work
• M&A or integration experience

Responsibilities

• Own program management of a major integration workstream end-to-end. Build the plan, sequence dependencies, track functional commitments, surface risks early, and drive decisions to closure.
• Develop the strategic judgment to articulate why a workstream should be integrated and why now, including how to pace and sequence integration planning across the deal's lifecycle.
• Manage peer-level relationships with functional DRIs across People, Finance, Legal, CorpTech, GTM, and Product independently.
• Contribute to acquisition accountability metric reporting. Know what the numbers say, recognize what's missing or off, and know when something needs to escalate.
• Represent the integration team in cross-functional forums with a clear point of view. Know when to push, when to hold, and when and how to escalate.
• Ramp into new domains quickly. Each acquisition is different. Absorb context, structure ambiguous situations into actionable plans, and identify gaps before anyone asks.
• Use Stripe-approved AI tools (and create your own) to accelerate and improve your work.
