About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies - from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups - use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities.

About the team

Stripe’s Executive Programs team builds relationships and experiences that connect senior customer leaders with Stripe’s leadership, products, and strategy. We create forums where executives can exchange ideas, explore the forces shaping their businesses, and give Stripe direct, substantive feedback.

Our executive advisory programs are an important part of how Stripe captures the perspectives of executive buyers. The portfolio includes our global Customer Advisory Board as well as regional, segment, and emerging advisory programs. Our goal is to connect these programs into a coherent system that brings the right customer perspectives into Stripe and helps product, marketing, and go-to-market teams act on what we learn.

What you’ll do

As Head of Executive Advisory Programs, you will define and build Stripe’s approach to executive advisory forums. You will own our existing global Customer Advisory Board and create the framework for launching and scaling complementary regional and segment councils. You will also identify and incubate new advisory programs as Stripe’s priorities and customer base evolve.

You will connect program strategy with execution: recruiting influential members, shaping agendas with internal partners, delivering white-glove executive experiences, and building a reliable process for capturing and activating customer feedback. You will work closely with leaders across Product, Product Marketing, Events, Sales, and Customer Success to ensure that Stripe’s advisory programs have clear remits, operate as an interconnected portfolio, and inform relevant product and go-to-market decisions.
