What you’ll do
As a Technical Program Manager, you will play a key role leading complex programs across multiple engineering, product and cross-functional (legal, risk, go-to-market and other) teams spanning Stripe. You will be an active contributor to the overall strategy of the program, drive technical decision making, and drive the execution of the program through all phases from planning to delivery. You will have the opportunity to implement mechanisms that make your programs effective and scale them to edit org-level processes.
Effective TPMs at Stripe always bias towards driving the right solutions for our users and internal stakeholders. You’ll do this even when it’s not the easiest path for us or our teams, and requires trade-off decisions. You will look ahead and around corners to enable our teams to operate at their best, and for opportunities to eliminate the unnecessary in delivering results. Link is still in early days and you will have a significant influence on the product roadmap and technical direction for the team.
