Program Manager, Go to Market

Stripe Stripe · Fintech · United States · 1170 GEO Sales HQ (NA)

Stripe is seeking a Program Manager for their Go-to-Market (GTM) Sales Strategy and Operations team. This role will design and drive programs to improve the execution of Sales and Partner/Channel teams, focusing on strategy translation, scalable operating motions, and performance management. Responsibilities include end-to-end program delivery, pipeline hygiene, global initiative support, partner-inclusive motions, executive reporting, and developing scalable program foundations. The ideal candidate has 4+ years of experience in program management or GTM strategy/operations, with a strong track record of delivering complex, cross-functional programs in ambiguous environments.

What you'd actually do

  1. Be accountable for building and driving large-scale GTM programs end-to-end—aligning stakeholders, defining the plan and operating model, and ensuring measurable outcomes. Drive the “full-stack” of change management (stakeholder engagement, champions, communications, and enablement) so programs land successfully with Sales and Partners.
  2. Support operating rhythms that improve pipeline quality, stage discipline, and forecast consistency. Partner with Sales Operations and Sales leadership to drive adoption, surface risk, and ensure leaders have reliable visibility into performance drivers.
  3. Provide central project management support on high-priority global initiatives (i.e. “Big Rocks” workstreams) to drive decision-making, action, visibility, accountability, and impact.
  4. Support partner-inclusive motions that embed partners into the selling process (from opportunity identification through close and expansion). Coordinate partner readiness (offers, positioning, assets, and co-selling rhythms) and enable the “operating handshake” across teams to reduce friction and increase speed.
  5. Build concise exec-ready readouts that connect program activity to outcomes (pipeline created, conversion, win rate, cycle time, partner influence) and drive decisions in WBR/MBR/QBR forums.
  6. Develop a roadmap for the foundational requirements to operate the program efficiently and at scale. Drive scalability through process refinement and automation, collaborating closely with critical cross-functional teams to build the needed tools, dashboards, and automation.
  7. Set goals and targets for programs, run key forums/updates, and keep executives and cross-functional partners informed on progress, risks, and decisions. Build strong collaborative relationships across Stripe.

Skills

Required

  • 4+ years of experience in program management, GTM strategy/operations, business operations, management consulting, or a related discipline.
  • A strong track record of delivering complex, cross-functional programs in a changing, ambiguous environment end-to-end (from problem definition through rollout and adoption).
  • Deep problem solving and analysis experience (solving business problems—commercial, operational, financial) in a Sales-oriented environment. You must have the ability to diagnose, simplify, and structure problems and solutions while having command of “the details”.
  • Excellent analytical, presentation, and communication experience, influencing across all levels from front lines to C-Suite. You set a high-bar in terms of communication effectiveness.

  • Ability to influence cross functional stakeholders to align and execute on common objectives.

Nice to have

  • Experience operating with incomplete data and reprioritizing as business needs change.
  • Prior experience supporting enterprise GTM motions (Sales-led and/or partner-led) and partnering with senior stakeholders through executive-facing cadences (QBRs, exec briefings, account/territory planning).
  • Background in GTM programs that improve field execution—such as sales plays, partner co-sell motions, enablement rollouts, pipeline discipline, or launch/readiness programs across Sales, Marketing, and Product.
