Product Manager, Connect

What you’ll do

We are looking for an entrepreneurial Product Manager to build the platform experiences behind Connect's next generation of users. You will own critical product primitives that platforms, including the fastest-growing AI companies, use to onboard, configure, and manage their users on Stripe. You will turn a clear strategic direction into products that solve hard user problems today while creating a coherent, extensible foundation for business models that are still being invented.

This role is for someone who enjoys the depth of platform work but is uncompromising about product craft and solving real user needs - both the ones users have today and will have in the future. The work is not building infra for its own sake; you will build capabilities that help our users launch a new marketplace, enable a global network to pay its contributors, or give a business entirely new ways for their end users to earn.

Responsibilities

• Bring the next generation of Connect accounts to life. Own key product areas within the account platform, translating strategy into a focused roadmap, crisp product decisions, and high-quality launches.
• Build from use cases. Start with the real problems platforms face, such as onboarding a new seller, supporting a complex business model, or evolving a user's financial capabilities, and then work towards the primitives needed to solve them well.
• Make sophisticated infrastructure feel simple. Partner with engineering and design to create API and product experiences that are powerful and intuitive.
• See around corners. Develop a strong point of view on how AI will change platform economics, participant models, and financial workflows. Make focused foundational investments that unlock the next wave of demand.
• Turn user signals into durable product investments. Work closely with users, Sales, Partnerships, and other Stripe teams to distinguish bespoke requests from patterns that should become scalable platform capabilities, connecting business needs, user needs, and platform evolution.
• Drive high-velocity, high-craft execution and own outcomes. Lead cross-functional work from discovery through launch, and hold yourself accountable for developer experience, platform adoption, user value, and business impact, not simply features shipped.

Who you are

You are a product builder who can move easily between a user’s hardest problem, the business opportunity behind it, and the product decisions needed to solve it. You have worked on technically complex products - such as APIs, developer tools, shared platform capabilities, or core product experiences - but you do not build tech/platform for its own sake. You see strong platform design as a way to help users move faster, create better products, and unlock new business models. You are opinionated, thoughtful, and execution-oriented. You can focus a team on the few decisions that matter most, create momentum in ambiguous situations, and ship products that raise the bar for both quality and impact.

Minimum requirements

• 7+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time owning platform, API, or developer-facing products end to end
• Demonstrated ability to own a product area end to end: setting strategy, driving execution, and measuring outcomes
• Strong analytical instincts and comfort defining the measurement framework before you ship
• Clear written communication and the ability to build alignment across functions and levels

Preferred qualifications

• Experience in payments, fintech, or financial infrastructure
• Experience productizing bespoke or custom solutions into broadly available platform capabilities
• A track record of making well-judged foundational investments ahead of user demand
