Corporate Development Integration Lead

Own end-to-end program management for major M&A integration workstreams at Stripe (operational or GTM). Build plans, manage peer relationships across functions without authority, drive decisions, surface risks, and use AI tools to accelerate work in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.

About the job

Responsibilities

  • Own program management of a major integration workstream end-to-end. Build the plan, sequence dependencies, track functional commitments, surface risks early, and drive decisions to closure.
  • Develop the strategic judgment to articulate why a workstream should be integrated and why now, including how to pace and sequence integration planning across the deal's lifecycle.
  • Manage peer-level relationships with functional DRIs across People, Finance, Legal, CorpTech, GTM, and Product independently. You are Stripe's point of contact for your workstream.
  • Contribute to acquisition accountability metric reporting. Know what the numbers say, recognize what's missing or off, and know when something needs to escalate.
  • Represent the integration team in cross-functional forums with a clear point of view. Know when to push, when to hold, and when and how to escalate.
  • Ramp into new domains quickly. Each acquisition is different. Absorb context, structure ambiguous situations into actionable plans, and identify gaps before anyone asks.
  • Use Stripe-approved AI tools (and create your own) to accelerate and improve your work.

Minimum Requirements

  • 4 to 8 years of experience in finance, operations, sales ops, marketing ops, or strategy, with a track record of owning complex cross-functional work in high-stakes environments.
  • Track record of managing multi-stakeholder projects end-to-end, navigating ambiguity without a playbook, and delivering on timelines that weren't fully in your control.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience managing peer-level relationships across multiple functions to drive outcomes without formal authority.
  • Ability to ramp quickly into new domains and structure ambiguous situations into actionable plans.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to write and speak decision-first to any audience.
  • Active, demonstrated use of AI tools to improve the quality and pace of work.
  • M&A or integration experience.
