About the team & role

Stripe is looking for a senior operator and systems thinker to join the Central Strategy and Operations (S&O) team. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who is obsessed with how organizations actually work and who builds the infrastructure that makes Stripe faster, clearer, and more coordinated as it scales.

Central S&O sits at the center of how Stripe runs as a company. This role specifically owns the machinery of company operations—the planning processes, operating rhythms, information architecture, and cross-functional systems that let the leadership team at Stripe make better decisions, faster. If you're the kind of person who looks at a broken process and immediately starts designing the system that replaces it—and who reaches for automation before asking for headcount—this role is for you.

You'll work across the most senior leaders at Stripe and partner teams to design, run, and continuously improve the operational systems that connect strategy to execution. This is not a coordination or program management role. It's a build role. You'll own outcomes end-to-end and raise the operational ceiling of the company.

What you’ll do

• Run planning for Stripe. You'll own and execute how Stripe does annual planning including multiple offshoot workstreams, and the frameworks leadership uses to make decisions. Continuous improvement of existing processes, automating manual workflows and helping us redesign lighter ways to do the work in the future.
• Build, automate, and scale central operations infrastructure. You'll identify where manual, repetitive, or fragmented processes are creating drag and replace them with scalable systems—whether that's working with others on structured data pipelines, AI-augmented workflows, or new tooling. Your first instinct is to build, not to coordinate.
• Translate strategy into operational reality. Help teams drive strategic discussions in leadership forums with your thinking and architecture. Prepare and run leadership-level operating forums, bring your own point of view
