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 team partners with some of the most strategic payment method providers across EMEA, including global leaders in Buy Now Pay Later, FX, bank transfers, and digital wallets, to help businesses accelerate growth and unlock meaningful revenue uplift. As the payments landscape continues to evolve rapidly, the team is at the forefront of that transformation, working with partners and customers to deliver innovative solutions that optimize payment performance.
Our mission is to enable buyers and merchants to transact using their preferred payment methods, improving conversion, reach, and performance across the region. We are deeply focused on customer experience as we build and operate the end-to-end infrastructure that processes billions in monthly volume and abstracts the complexity of the EMEA payments ecosystem for our users.
What you'll do
The EMEA Payments Product Lead role at Stripe is an opportunity to shape payments strategy across one of the world's most complex and fastest-growing regions, influencing everything from local payment methods and conversion performance to regulatory readiness and market expansion. It is a high-impact leadership role for someone who wants to combine strong product judgment, deep payments expertise, and cross-functional influence to drive measurable customer outcomes at scale.
You will lead EMEA payments product capabilities at the center of Stripe's long-term growth strategy. Working closely with merchants, partners, and cross-functional teams, you will translate a complex set of regional and strategic priorities into a clear, focused roadmap. With end-to-end ownership, you will define the vision, shape the product architecture, and drive execution across market expansion and core payment infrastructure. You will move with urgency to build and scale the systems behind critical payment flows across EMEA.

Define a multi-year vision for EMEA Payments that anticipates future merchant and ecosystem scale and complexity
Lead Engineering and Design through every phase of the product lifecycle, from 0-to-1 development to General Availability
Enforce rigorous standards for product quality, API design, and system reliability, building trust with our largest enterprise users
Partner with Sales and go-to-market teams to pitch the product, win key deals, and translate user feedback into roadmap priorities
Serve as the internal subject matter expert on the EMEA payment landscape, managing relationships with partners and ecosystem vendors

Mentor or manage emerging PM talent within the domain

In-office expectations
Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.
Pay and benefits
The annual salary range for this role in the primary location is €150,400 - €225,600. This range may change if you are hired in another location. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings (“OTE”) range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and specific location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the primary location may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.
Specific benefits and details about what compensation is included in the salary range listed above will vary depending on the applicant’s location and can be discussed in more detail during the interview process. Benefits/additional compensation for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; retirement plans; health benefits; and wellness stipends.
We look forward to hearing from you.
At Stripe, we're looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and passion will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns. At Stripe, we welcome diverse perspectives and people who think rigorously and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions. Join us.
