Product Manager, Data Products

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

To make the most of Stripe, merchants need to store data for their custom business processes. For example, they might store a Salesforce record ID on a Stripe Customer object. Today they can do that with Stripe metadata. But that’s just the beginning. We want to enable users to power more of their workflows with Stripe and become a system of record for key business data. Users should be able to extend Stripe-defined objects with strongly-typed fields and data validation logic. They should be able to create completely custom objects that allow them to better model their business on Stripe. And these new data capabilities should all work together well with the Stripe Dashboard, Workflows, and Stripe Apps products.

We’re hiring a product manager to define our Custom Data product line, which makes it easy for anyone to model, ingest, and use data on Stripe.

What you’ll do

This is a 0-1 product management opportunity, and you’ll be responsible for the entire product line; identifying the MVP use cases, product design, iterating quickly by partnering with early adopters, pricing, and more. You’ll also work very closely with multiple teams at Stripe to enable their products to be “Custom data-ready”.

Responsibilities

• Interact with customers and internal product teams daily, so that you can validate product ideas/requirements and prototypes
• Partner with engineering and design to ship functionality that delights users, has the right balance of impact vs engineering cost, and makes a measurable impact
• Develop the vision, strategy, and roadmap, so that we can launch an MVP in 2025
• Define key success metrics
• Work closely with user researchers to test hypotheses and understand user pain points

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum requirements

• 12+ years of Product Management experience
• Computer Science background or equivalent technical experience
• Both passion for and experience building data platforms. For example, you’ve either built a custom data platform, such as Salesforce Custom Objects, Shopify Metaobjects, or HubSpot Custom Objects, or you’ve built a tool that consumes/modifies objects from those platforms.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, structuring ambiguous concepts clearly and from first principles
• Thrive in a collaborative environment involving different functions, stakeholders, and subject matter experts
• Demonstrated experience of leading initiatives across large engineering organizations, spanning multiple teams to influence tech roadmap planning and execution

Preferred qualifications

• You enjoy using social media to interact directly with customers for feedback
• You’ve founded a business / startup, taking a product from 0-1
• Your hands are filthy. You only ship functionality after you’ve personally test driven it and made heavy edits to the documentation.
