Product Manager, Atlas

Who we are

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. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach while doing the most important work of your career.

About the team

Atlas helps you start a company in a few clicks, from anywhere in the world. We believe that startups are one of the most effective ways to solve the world’s problems, and we want to give startup founders a running start. Atlas helps founders form their company, access the internet’s best tools, and automate operations while feeling ambitious, smart, and assured. Our goal is to create more startups that get to product-market fit, fast.

Our core belief is that the number of startups is not static. By making Atlas the best way to start a company, we can encourage more people to become founders. In fact, 25% of Atlas founders say they wouldn’t have started their company if not for Atlas. Founders tell us that they spend too much time and money on distracting and complex administrative tasks, rather than building their product and finding customers. We’re here to change that.

What you’ll do

As a product manager on the Atlas team, you’ll gain a deep understanding of what early stage founders need to get their company off the ground, identify the most important pain points to solve, set the product strategy, scope product features and technical infrastructure, collaborate with design, drive execution with engineering, craft product marketing, and plan for go-to-market. In short, your role is to ensure Atlas becomes more and more impactful for founders.

Responsibilities

• Deeply understand the needs of startup founders and learn how they use Atlas and other startup products
• Drive product development by setting the pace, prioritizing ruthlessly, and unblocking execution
• Craft product experiences that are both simple and powerful, with surprisingly great details 
• Write our strategy and deliver business outcomes. You’ll think like an investor when it comes to allocating our small team and identifying market opportunities
• Work collaboratively with internal stakeholders, communicate progress with Stripe’s leadership team, and steer the broader organization to build for early stage startups
• Represent Atlas externally with founders, venture capitalists, accelerators, and partners
