Responsibilities

  • You will be expected:
  • Partner closely with the Payments product team: Understand priorities and bottlenecks to make product launches a success.
  • Streamlining processes and workflows: Identify where work gets bogged down and implements repeatable processes to make collaboration easier. This can include creating standardized templates, establishing clear handoff processes between teams, and removing bottlenecks in the product development lifecycle.
  • Owning operational tasks that sit today with Product and Engineering: In particular tasks that scale with the number of users or require repeatable or automatable patterns. You act as a general enabler for the product org and proactively take on various operational tasks – such as coordinating cross-team meetings, facilitating A/B tests, monitoring post-launch product performance, and triaging product issues to help the product teams deliver.
  • User communication for technical integrations: Many Stripe customers integrate directly into our APIs, and their integration is their main entry point into Stripe. This means that when the product changes, customers must be informed and sometimes make updates on their end. You will own the process of communicating product updates, especially technical changes, to enterprise customers.
  • Beta programs and controlled rollouts: A beta program might involve inviting a handful of friendly customers (or internal users) to try a new feature in a limited production release. You would help define the scope of the beta, criteria for participant selection, and the feedback collection process. You act as the point of contact for beta customers – providing them with instructions, tracking any issues that arise, and funneling feedback to the product and engineering teams.
  • Data analysis and customer feedback management: You help the team make the most of the data and feedback collected from users, for instance in the context of a Beta product testing.
  • Overall, you accelerate feedback loops, increase operational efficiency, and ultimately help the product organization deliver better outcomes faster.
