About The Team
The Internal Systems team owns an expansive mix of platform and product solutions, centered on our internal users. Team goals are centered on building frictionless experiences for our Sellers and Finance Engineering to ensure our users can execute efficiently and with accuracy. We are looking for people with a strong background or interest in working across GTM and Finance domains to build successful platforms and systems. You’re comfortable dealing with many moving pieces, and you work effectively across dynamic teams and functions.

What you’ll do

As an Engineering Program Manager on the Internal Systems team, you’ll help deliver systems and process improvements for our internal users. You’ll partner with Engineering, Product, and business teams to turn agreed priorities into clear program plans, coordinate dependencies, and drive delivery from planning through launch. You’ll own defined programs across multiple teams, working with partners to resolve ambiguity, manage risks, and measure results.

Responsibilities

• Partner with Engineering, Product, and business teams to understand user needs and define program scope, milestones, owners, and success criteria.
• Own delivery of defined cross-functional programs from planning through launch, tracking dependencies, decisions, risks, and progress.
• Work with engineering partners to understand technical dependencies and tradeoffs, identify delivery risks, and agree on mitigation plans.
• Write clear program plans, proposals, decision records, and updates tailored to the audience.
• Build alignment across teams, resolve delivery issues with partners, and escalate blockers when needed.
• Use data and stakeholder feedback to measure outcomes and recommend improvements.
• Improve planning, tracking, and launch processes based on what teams need and lessons learned.

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

• 3+ years of program management experience.
• Experience delivering cross-functional software or systems programs from planning through launch.
• Ability to turn complex information into clear plans, identify risks and dependencies, and recommend practical next steps.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including communicating progress, decisions, and blockers to technical and business audiences.
• Ability to work independently within an agreed scope, collaborate across teams and time zones, and seek support when needed.
• Experience improving processes across multiple teams or functions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with go-to-market or finance systems.
• Experience partnering with engineering teams on internal software, systems integrations, or platform improvements.
• Familiarity with software development processes and managing dependencies between systems.
• Experience supporting launches, adoption, or process changes for internal users.

Hybrid work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

Working remotely at Stripe

A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently live or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $131,200 - $196,800. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.

We look forward to hearing from you.

At Stripe, we're looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and passion will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns. At Stripe, we welcome diverse perspectives and people who think rigorously and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions. Join us.
