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

You’ll join the Customer Advocacy and Programs team, a small, high-impact team inside Customer Success that amplifies the voice of the customer and turns feedback into measurable change. We synthesize customer input and frontline insights to surface the highest-value opportunities, then partner with Product, GTM, Support, Operations, and technical teams to turn those opportunities into durable tools, programs, and improvements.

Our mission is to help Stripe’s user-facing teams deliver more strategic, effective, and scalable experiences for users. We build the capabilities that help Customer Success Managers and the broader field better understand users, identify opportunities, and deliver value, while extending Customer Success impact beyond named coverage. We are establishing a more unified approach to Customer Success tooling and efficiency, with product discipline from problem discovery through adoption and measurable impact.

What you’ll do

As the Program Manager, Customer Success Efficiency and Scale, you will act as the product leader for a portfolio of internal tools, AI-enabled workflows, assets, and scaled programs that enable Customer Success and other user-facing teams. You’ll turn frontline pain points and user needs into a prioritized roadmap, define clear requirements and success measures, and partner with technical, data, and operational teams to deliver solutions that are adopted and create measurable impact.

Although this role is titled Program Manager, it requires a strong product-management mindset and experience: deep user discovery, strategic prioritization, crisp product requirements, cross-functional delivery, and continuous iteration based on adoption and outcomes. You’ll operate in a highly ambiguous environment, create clarity across a broad stakeholder set, and balance near-term improvements with a longer-term vision for scaling Customer Success capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Own the roadmap: Set and prioritize the Customer Success Efficiency and Scale roadmap, balancing user needs, business impact, feasibility, and organizational priorities.
• Discover and define problems: Partner with Customer Success Managers, Sales, and other user-facing teams to identify pain points, validate opportunities, and determine where tooling, automation, AI, or self-service can create leverage.
• Shape solutions: Translate validated needs into clear product briefs, requirements, success metrics, and launch plans. Partner with technical teams to deliver scalable solutions.
• Drive delivery and adoption: Coordinate cross-functional execution, manage dependencies and trade-offs, and ensure each launch has a clear enablement, measurement, and iteration plan.
• Scale Customer Success (CS) impact: Build tools, assets, and programmatic motions that help Sales and other teams deliver CS-caliber value where dedicated CSM coverage is not available.
