Corporate Strategy

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies - from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups - use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.

About the team

Corporate Strategy is a small, high-leverage team with a mandate to maximize Stripe’s enterprise value. Whether we’re evaluating net-new opportunity areas, investigating existential threats, or finding ways to unlock value in the existing business, we approach problems with rigor, nuance, and intellectual humility.

What you’ll do

This is not your typical corporate strategy team. While partner closely with leadership, we don’t run the company planning processes, and we’re not “internal consultants” who primarily take on commissioned analysis. We develop independent points of view that have real teeth : strategy that is practical and connected with the rest of the company, not recommendations from an ivory tower. We operate horizontally – not embedded within any product or functional area – and we take a multidisciplinary approach to problems that incorporates product thinking and analytical angles.

Responsibilities

• Help Stripe decide where to deploy its resources to maximize long-term strategic value
• Tackle hard, ambiguous questions with rigor and independence, owning projects from problem definition to final recommendation
• Cut through complexity to identify opportunities and risks across Stripe’s products, customers, and markets
• Partner closely with teams across the company to influence their direction
• Evaluate whitespace business, product, and partnership opportunities in adjacent markets
• Drive strategic decisions by crisply framing a problem space, evaluating potential paths, and surfacing key tradeoffs – enabling Stripe to move quickly
• Work with Stripe’s leadership team to ensure the company is positioned to execute on its strategy in the near- and long-term
• Develop independent perspectives on forces shaping the business in the next five to ten years and the implications for Stripe's strategy
• Nurture a community of strategists across the company
