The team partners closely with the engineering, product, finance, and partnership groups to manage and understand Stripe’s network costs.

  • Work with Product and Engineering to implement cost saving opportunities 
  • Partner with Finance to prioritize areas for investment and explain trends in costs and margin impact
  • Monitor and maintain the accuracy of the fees through validation and alerting
  • Creating fee explainability to internal and external stakeholders

  • Introduce data and process efficiencies to meet the scale and speed of Stripe. Identify and automate inefficient operational processes to reduce manual workloads
  • Scale our network cost operation by driving the design, documentation, and training of operational processes to leverage partner relationships.

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.
