What you’ll do

As a program manager on the Global Corporate Operations team, you’ll be responsible for creating and running processes that help us coordinate and execute on a global scale. You’ll work closely with enterprise risk and compliance leadership as well as first line operations teams across Stripe to deliver strategic projects and programs.

They thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. They are strategic, able to see the big picture and business context, and able to find creative solutions as a result.
