About The Position

Stripe is hiring a senior individual-contributor Staff Product Manager to help build Accounting Products, modern infrastructure for the Office of the CFO. The team aims to give finance teams and the agents supporting them a reconciled, explainable view of financial truth. Its first major focus is Revenue Recognition, helping Stripe Billing and Metronome users translate complex revenue activity into accurate, explainable journal entries and revenue schedules. The role has significant ownership, autonomy, and influence across Product, Engineering, Design, Finance, Data Science, and Go-to-Market teams.

The product manager will own a significant product area, setting strategy, roadmap, and success measures, and taking products from customer discovery and prototypes through scaled adoption. The role includes defining how people and agents collaborate on accounting work, while preserving human control over important judgments and approvals. Products should be accurate, explainable, and operationally reliable, with results traceable to source activity, accounting treatment, and supporting evidence. The work will connect Stripe’s Revenue Suite with external systems used in accounting workflows and may extend over time to other Office of the CFO workflows.

Requirements

• 10+ years of product management experience delivering complex, technically or domain-intensive products.
• Experience as a senior individual contributor independently setting direction, aligning cross-functional teams, and driving decisions without formal authority.
• Experience building products for finance, accounting, or similarly demanding domains where accuracy, controls, traceability, and trust are essential.
• High standards for correctness, explainability, reliability, and operability.
• Strong customer instincts and experience working directly with specialized users to uncover needs and translate domain complexity into coherent products.
• Understanding of complex systems, data models, APIs, integrations, and technical tradeoffs.
• Strong strategic judgment and experience taking products from ambiguity to execution, identifying differentiated advantages, defining initial markets, sequencing multi-year opportunities, and connecting strategy to requirements, data analysis, and delivery.
• Excellent written and verbal communication and collaborative leadership across technical, business, and go-to-market teams.
• Ability to clarify complex problems, align stakeholders, surface risks, and make or revise decisions as evidence changes in high-stakes environments.

Nice To Haves

• Experience building accounting products for controllers, accounting teams, or other Office of the CFO users.
• Working knowledge of revenue recognition under ASC 606 or IFRS 15, particularly for usage-based pricing, variable consideration, minimum commitments, credits, and contract modifications.
• Experience building AI or agent-powered products that investigate information, explain recommendations, or act within defined controls and human review or approval workflows.
• Familiarity with general ledgers and ERP systems such as NetSuite, QuickBooks, or Xero, including integrations and operational processes for transferring and reconciling financial results.
• An accounting background, CPA qualification, or experience partnering closely with accounting policy, controllership, or audit teams.

Responsibilities

• Define product strategy, initial customer market, roadmap, priorities, and areas not to build; revise decisions as evidence changes.
• Work with controllers, accountants, finance leaders, auditors, and implementation partners to understand accounting workflows, including month-end close, and translate problems into product requirements.
• Define how humans and agents collaborate to configure accounting policies, explain results, investigate exceptions, and propose or execute resolutions with appropriate reviews, approvals, controls, and audit trails.
• Shape Revenue Recognition for Stripe Billing and Metronome users, including support for accurate journal entries and revenue schedules across usage-based pricing, credits, minimum commitments, contract modifications, and other complex business models.
• Build accurate, explainable, and operationally reliable products whose results are traceable to source activity, accounting treatment, and supporting evidence.
• Measure success through accurate closes, accepted outputs, time savings, reliable general-ledger handoffs, adoption, and retention.
• Take products from prototype to scale with design partners; decide what to standardize, automate, or keep narrow; and define integrations with general ledgers, ERP, customer relationship management, and professional-services platforms.
• Align senior stakeholders and partner with Billing, Metronome, Tax, Payments, and other teams to keep financial results consistent across products.
• Raise the quality of product thinking through clear writing, sound judgment, and constructive challenge.
