Partner Development Manager, Strategic Payment Partnerships

Stripe builds financial tools and economic infrastructure for the internet. We’re helping ambitious startups and the world’s most successful companies build products, create new business models, and scale their efforts globally. In pursuit of this mission, the Global Partnerships team develops, executes, and manages partnerships and strategic initiatives that enable Stripe’s product and payments ecosystem.

The Strategic Payments Partnerships team develops and manages relationships with payment methods and ecosystem partners that enable Stripe’s product strategy and deliver new capabilities to Stripe users. The team executes high-impact, cross-functional initiatives across new products, geographic expansion, user advocacy, and policy. These partnerships materially affect Stripe and the products used by millions of Stripe users.

We’re looking for a Partner Development Manager to own and grow priority payment method partnerships, with a focus on strategic wallets, buy now, pay later (BNPL) providers, and related payment partners. You will manage day-to-day partner relationships and distribution initiatives, lead defined commercial and product initiatives, and work across Stripe to increase payment method adoption and deliver better experiences for users.

This role requires sound commercial judgment, a structured approach to execution, and the ability to bring together internal and external stakeholders with different priorities. You will develop deep expertise in your partners and the payment method ecosystem, using that context to identify opportunities, inform Stripe’s decisions, and execute initiatives that support Stripe’s product and business goals.

You will:

Manage one or more priority payment method partnerships, with a focus on driving joint initiatives and launching new offerings that benefit Stripe users.

Manage go-to-market strategy and enablement for defined payment method partners, products, and/or geographies, creating and executing plans that increase distribution and adoption across Stripe’s user base.
