Payments Product Sales is a team of deep functional and technical specialists who lead and advise on opportunities for some of the most strategically important products in Stripe’s portfolio. We work alongside Stripe’s Core Sales and Customer Success teams to help users adopt products that improve payment experiences, increase conversion, support international growth, and create new sources of revenue.

We are hiring an Account Executive, Product - Local Payment Methods to grow adoption of Stripe’s local payment methods across EMEA.

What you’ll do

As an Account Executive, Product focused on Local Payment Methods, you will be a quota-carrying product-sales overlay responsible for growing adoption and revenue across new and existing Stripe users.

You are comfortable navigating product-led integrations and complex customer structures, and you can turn payment-method complexity into a clear commercial and technical path forward. You enjoy building value in competitive situations and creating scalable go-to-market motions from what you learn in the field.
