About The Position

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform used by companies to accept payments, grow revenue, and pursue new business opportunities. The Startup Products team builds Stripe Atlas and other products that help founders start and run companies from anywhere in the world. Its products help founders form companies, raise capital, execute legal agreements, access tools, and automate operations, with the goal of helping more startups reach product-market fit quickly.

As a Strategy & Operations partner on the Startup Products team, you will help determine where the team should focus and what it should build for founders. You will combine user insight, market context, product judgment, and rigorous analysis to develop strategy, shape product roadmaps, and turn promising ideas into executable plans. You will work with product, engineering, design, marketing, partnerships, and other Stripe teams, influencing through recommendations and alignment rather than authority.

• At least 5 years of experience in strategy and operations, product strategy, product management, management consulting, or another analytical and cross-functional role at a technology company.
• Experience partnering closely with product, engineering, and design to shape product decisions and deliver measurable outcomes.
• Strong product sense and user empathy, including the ability to identify important customer problems and translate them into product or business opportunities.
• Excellent structured problem-solving skills and ability to bring clarity to ambiguous, open-ended questions.
• Ability to combine qualitative and quantitative evidence, challenge assumptions, and turn complex findings into practical recommendations.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including experience influencing cross-functional stakeholders without direct authority.
• High agency, sound judgment, and willingness to move between strategy and hands-on execution as needed.
• Enthusiasm for helping founders start and grow their businesses.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with startups, founders, company formation, fintech, or products serving small and early-stage businesses.

Responsibilities

• Develop product and business strategy for Atlas and other startup products by structuring ambiguous questions, synthesizing evidence, and making clear recommendations.

• Build a deep understanding of founders through direct conversations, qualitative research, product data, and support conversations.
• Translate founder needs, market developments, and competitive dynamics into product opportunities, roadmap recommendations, and prioritization frameworks.
• Partner with product, engineering, and design to advance new products and features from early problem definition through scope, launch, and iteration.
• Develop business cases and opportunity assessments for new bets, including market sizing.
• Lead targeted strategic projects, including 0→1 explorations, product or market deep dives, and initiatives spanning multiple teams.
