Join to apply for the Corporate Strategy role at Stripe .

About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companiesfrom the worlds largest enterprises to the most ambitious startupsuse 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 Stripes enterprise value. Whether were 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 youll do

This is not your typical corporate strategy team. While we partner closely with leadership, we dont run the company planning processes, and were 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 Stripes 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 Stripes 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

Hybrid work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

Work arrangements

In-office expectations: Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

Working remotely: A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $180,000 - $270,000. For sales roles, the range provided is the roles On Target Earnings (OTE) range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on factors including the candidates experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
