Help define and amplify the Stripe story and connect our products with users.
Our Product Marketing team’s mission is to generate customer insights that inform Stripe’s product strategy, lead go-to-market for our suite of products, and create and execute campaigns to drive product growth. Product Marketing is a highly cross-functional role at Stripe, partnering closely with Product and Engineering, Sales, Design, Developer Relations, and Communications to name a few. Different from many other Product Marketing teams, our team works across the entire product lifecycle, from helping shape the product, to driving launch and commercialization, to growing product adoption post-launch.
We’re looking for a Product Marketing Lead to oversee product marketing for Stripe Connect. This person will manage a team of product marketers who work with Connect’s Product, Engineering, and user-facing teams to define our product strategy and roadmap, lead the positioning, packaging, and launches of new Connect features, and drive ongoing awareness and adoption of Connect.

- A player-coach. You are an experienced, effective, and caring manager who can inspire and guide a team of talented PMMs, while also being a driver of your own workstreams
You will:

- Develop product positioning and messaging informed by user research, market insights, and product understanding

- Help enable user-facing teams at Stripe—from Sales and User Operations to local teams in other countries
- Work with the Finance and Product teams to set pricing that aligns to the product value proposition and with our users’ success
- Partner with the Product and Growth Marketing teams to track the right metrics and execute campaigns that drive awareness and adoption on an ongoing basis
- Think globally as we work to expand our solutions around the world, adapting your understanding of local market needs, competitors and pricing accordingly
Our ideal candidate will have:
- 12+ years of relevant work experience that can span marketing, product marketing, product management, operational roles, or strategy consulting, including direct people management experience
- At least 8 years of product management, product marketing, or go-to-market experience with many of those working on technical products

We don’t expect you to have all these things (but the more the merrier!).
