Global Strategic Alliances Lead, Emerging GSIs

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

The Global Alliances and Channels team drives growth by building and scaling go-to-market (GTM) partnerships with world-class professional services firms, including global systems integrators (GSIs) and consultancies, alongside strategic technology leaders like AWS, Salesforce, and Adobe. Our mission is to provide users with a comprehensive ecosystem of technology and industry expertise, ensuring Stripe and our partners build high-growth, mutually beneficial businesses. We bridge the gap between Stripe’s platform and the specialized solutions our users need to scale globally.

What you’ll do

As the Emerging GSI’s Lead, you will activate and incubate a strategic portfolio of GSIs, driving ambitious GTM efforts. You will be responsible for sourcing, co-selling, and identifying opportunities to embed Stripe into GSI partners' products and platforms. A critical part of this role is owning the global business plan for Emerging GSI’s, ensuring mutual revenue growth and strategic alignment across their Payments, Industry, and AI practices.

This role is centered on unlocking "sell-through" revenue by strategically embedding Stripe into our partners' proprietary products, platforms, and managed service offerings. Your objective is to ensure GSIs view Stripe not just as a payment processor to implement, but as a core infrastructure component of their own technology stacks and "as-a-Service" offerings. You will demonstrate an understanding of the Stripe Partner Ecosystem and the Stripe sales organization, using this knowledge to identify high-impact opportunities, support successful partner engagements, and ensure the highest standard of operational excellence.
