Responsibilities

Strategy & portfolio architecture: Define the overarching strategy for our golf and global football platforms. Identify opportunities to expand Stripe’s representation beyond traditional logo placement into deep brand and product-led storytelling.
Flagship partner management: Lead senior-level ownership of key relationships (e.g., PL clubs, PGA/European Tour). Shape rights development and long-term value creation, ensuring Stripe’s products are integrated to support enterprise storytelling.
Integrated brand & cross-channel storytelling: Lead the design and execution of multi-channel campaigns that turn partnership assets into world-class narratives. Advocate for creative choices that favor precision and insight over volume and cliché, ensuring our brand presence is as high-craft as our products.
Cross-functional orchestration: Establish an operating model across Brand, Comms, Field Marketing, Sales, and Product. Ensure partnerships are not siloed but are actively fueling awareness, demand generation and sales goals.
Commercial negotiation & renewals: Lead strategic input into negotiations to secure differentiated assets. Work with legal and finance to ensure our investments stay ahead of market trends.
Measurement & optimization: Partner with research and finance teams to establish measurement frameworks that track brand health (awareness/sentiment) and down-funnel outcomes (pipeline impact).
Autonomy & creative problem solving: Start work from a place of ambiguity, proactively building the "playbooks" that allow these partnerships to scale globally across different regions.
