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

Stripe's platform ecosystem is one of our most strategic and fastest-growing channels. We partner with a diverse array of leading platforms — from ecommerce infrastructure and website builders to vertical SaaS, marketplaces, and developer tools — that collectively power commerce for millions of businesses worldwide. Our Platform Partnerships team manages and grows these relationships, working closely with partners at every level: from technical product teams to C-suite executives. We craft joint go-to-market strategies, negotiate complex commercial agreements, co-build roadmaps, and drive multi-product adoption — all in service of creating deep, lasting partnerships that grow Stripe's reach and deliver meaningful value to our partners and their customers.

What you’ll do

As a Key Accounts Manager at Stripe, you'll own a portfolio of strategic users and will focus on deepening existing relationships and unlocking new opportunities for growth. You'll serve as the primary point of contact and trusted advisor for your users and your team of Account Executives — driving adoption of Stripe's product portfolio, navigating complex commercial negotiations, and collaborating cross-functionally to ensure your partners have everything they need to succeed. We're looking for a strategic, commercially-minded partnerships professional who brings a blend of business development acumen, technical fluency, and relationship depth. You'll need to be as comfortable in a product roadmap conversation as you are in a commercial negotiation, and as effective with a developer audience as with a CFO.
