Program Manager, Performance and Talent Planning

Stripe

6d

About The Position

The Performance and Talent Planning team is part of Stripe’s broader Talent and Development organization. We shape how Stripes grow their careers and do their best work. We build the programs, systems, and insights that help managers develop strong teams, help leaders plan for the future, and give Stripes clear opportunities to grow. Our work spans performance, talent planning, career development, succession, and organizational insights. Our goal is to make Stripe a place where talented people can build lasting careers and have an outsized impact.

In this role, you will help translate Stripe’s performance and talent philosophy into scalable, global experiences. You will work across People Products, People Insights, Employee Relations, People Partners and other partner teams to design programs and systems that are clear for users, operationally durable, and aligned with Stripe’s future needs. You will bring a product mindset to all you do, starting with data driven problem statements, qualitative and quantitative signals, an understanding of the end-to-end user experience, an iterative design process, and an obsession with continuous improvement over time. You will be comfortable operating across time zones and navigating competing perspectives, incomplete information, and urgent priorities.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience building and scaling global People or HR experiences, with experience across both process and product or systems design
• Experience leading complex programs in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where high ownership and cross-functional problem solving are expected.
• Strong systems thinking: the ability to understand how people, processes, tools, policies, and organizational decisions influence one another over time and how to augment workflows and processes using AI tools.
• A demonstrated ability to build enduring, trusted stakeholder relationships; communicate effectively across levels and functions; and establish clear decision-making and accountability mechanisms.
• A disciplined approach to problem solving. You begin with the “why,” define and refine problem statements steeped in both quantitative and qualitative data, and continuously ask “is this the right problem to solve, at the right time?”
• High agency and sound judgment. You identify opportunities or risks, take action quickly, and escalate thoughtfully when progress is blocked.
• Deep alignment with Stripe’s Operating Principle, Obsess over Talent. You believe that people are one of Stripe’s greatest unlocks: attracting exceptional talent, creating environments where they can thrive, building systems that support growth, and recognizing meaningful contributions.
• Curiosity and humility. You are a continuous learner who seeks to understand before acting, welcomes ideas from many sources, and is willing to change course when new evidence suggests a better path.

• Strengthen career growth and talent investment. Help shape the programs, mechanisms, and insights that enable career development, talent planning, succession, and thoughtful investment in Stripe’s people as the company grows.
• Lead complex, cross-functional workstreams. Build alignment among global stakeholders; surface risks and dependencies early; make progress in ambiguous environments; and unblock critical decisions quickly.
• Use insights to improve outcomes. Define clear problem statements, gather qualitative and quantitative data, and use those insights to refine strategy, programs, and execution.
