Product Lead, Data Products

Stripe•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

As the PM leading Data Products, you will own the product strategy and execution for Stripe's merchant-facing data portfolio — defining what it means for Stripe to be the best data platform for our merchants and agents. You'll set the direction across Sigma, SDP, and other data products, lead a team of PMs, and work closely with engineering, design, sales, and Stripe customers to shape how businesses access, analyze, and act on their Stripe data. This is a high-stakes, high-visibility role. Data access is increasingly a core buying criterion for Stripe's largest customers, and the competitive landscape for data portability and embedded analytics is evolving fast. You'll need to think strategically about platform positioning, lead through ambiguity, and ship products that work flawlessly for a very sophisticated user base.

Requirements

10+ years in product management, including experience leading or managing PM teams of 5+ PMs
Deep expertise in data products. You have shipped at least one of: a BI/analytics tool, a data integration product, a warehouse connector, or a developer data API
Strong commercial intuition. You understand how data products drive enterprise deal velocity, expansion, and retention, and you've worked closely with Sales and CS on product strategy
Technically fluent. You can hold your own in discussions about data pipeline architecture, warehouse connectors, SQL query execution, and data delivery semantics; you don't need to write the code but you need to understand the tradeoffs
Exceptional written communicator. You write with the clarity and precision Stripe's culture demands, from a tight decision memo to a multi-year strategy narrative
High ownership instincts. You proactively identify what needs to happen, move fast without waiting for permission, and hold yourself accountable to outcomes
Comfortable in a complex stakeholder environment. Data products touch engineering, enterprise sales, customer success, finance, and legal; you can align them without losing pace

Nice To Haves

Experience building products on top of or integrating with major cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks)
Familiarity with Stripe's data model and the kinds of analytics questions merchants care about (payments, disputes, revenue recognition, reconciliation)
Background in fintech or payments — you understand the data complexity that comes with operating across hundreds of payment methods, currencies, and regulatory regimes

Responsibilities

Set and own the product strategy for Stripe’s data products, defining the multi-year vision and translating it into a coherent roadmap that balances enterprise growth, self-serve expansion, and platform quality
Lead and develop a PM team. Manage, mentor, and hire PMs; build a high-caliber team culture with strong product craft and clear ownership
Drive revenue and retention outcomes. Deeply understand the commercial role of data products in Stripe's sales and self serve motions and build accordingly
Define what "great" looks like for merchant data access — from schema design and query performance to delivery reliability, latency SLAs, and integrations with third-party warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks)
Partner with enterprise customers. Engage directly with Stripe's largest users to understand how they use and rely on their Stripe data, and feed those insights back into the roadmap
Navigate deep technical complexity. Work fluently with data engineering and infrastructure teams on the underlying Reporting Data Warehouse and data pipeline architecture
Anticipate the AI shift. Identify how AI-native workflows (agentic data access, natural language querying, automated reporting) should reshape the product surface over the next 2–3 years
Communicate and influence broadly. Write crisp strategy docs, earn trust from senior stakeholders across Product, Sales, and Finance, and represent Data Products clearly at the leadership level
