Full Job Description
About the team

While accepting payments on the internet has gotten easier over the past several years due in large part to the advent of modern payments APIs, the internet infrastructure for routing these same payments (to suppliers, sellers, partners, service providers, recipients) is stuck in the stone age.

Connect is Stripe's leading product for marketplaces, on-demand services, ecommerce site builders, invoicing platforms, professional SaaS products, fundraising platforms, rental management platforms, and more. By utilizing the power of Connect, users in each of these categories can link multiple parties for the exchange of goods or services. These users rely on Connect for the crucial function of reliably routing payments between these parties.

By powering fast, flexible, compliant, and cost-efficient routing of payments on the internet, Connect not only spurs the creation of innovative business models but it also enables organizations (whether they are businesses, nonprofits, or governmental agencies) to channel previously offline payments to the internet.
What you'll do

As a Product Lead on the Connect team at Stripe, you will devise strategy, develop product requirements, and oversee execution for some of the highest-impact initiatives that serve modern marketplaces and software platforms.

At Stripe, Product Managers help build innovative payments products for our customers. Product development is an extremely collaborative effort between engineering, design, analytics, and customer-facing teams. You'd be joining a team of experienced Product Managers who have a track record of successfully building large-scale business and consumer products that collectively impact millions of users around the world.

On a day-to-day basis you would spend your time split between external meetings with customers and internal discussions with your engineering, marketing, analytics, and sales counterparts, as well as with your direct reports, coaching, mentoring, and hiring. This role will provide the opportunity to develop the strategy for one of Stripe's core products and get feedback on your plans directly from Stripe's leadership team.
Responsibilities
