Full Job Description
What you'll do

In this role, you will work cross-functionally within our group and across Stripe's technical and user-facing teams to solve problems and design workflows that benefit our users. Specifically:
  • Own the "Signal": You will define and maintain the metrics that actually matter for in-year performance. You'll develop a "morning read" discipline-a curated, high-signal view of the business that drives immediate action,
    moving far beyond standard dashboarding.
  • Deep-Dive Interventions: You will lead "surge" projects to diagnose and unblock critical goals at risk. You aren't just identifying problems; you are staying in the arena until the trajectory has measurably changed.
  • Bridge Product & Strategy: You will translate long-horizon corporate theses into in-year operational reality. You'll take ambiguous opportunities that cut across product, risk, and marketing and decompose them into structured
    workstreams.
  • Synthesize for Leadership: You'll think ahead of our executive team, preparing CEO/COO-level materials that translate unstructured signals into structured diagnoses they can act on.
  • Pressure-test our Assumptions: You'll work closely with Corporate Strategy and Product teams to identify gaps between our external market forces and our internal execution.
