About the team

The Go-to-Market (GTM) Operations team works across Corporate Planning, GTM Strategy, Product, and regional Strategy and Operations.

This role will lead the sales strategy and operations work associated with mergers and acquisitions (M&A). You’ll help assess how acquired businesses fit into Stripe’s GTM model and translate acquisition plans into clear operational changes across account placement, territories, coverage, quotas, compensation, reporting, systems, and seller enablement. You’ll partner closely with Corporate Development, Sales, Finance, Product, Product Marketing, Deal Desk, Legal, and regional Strategy and Operations teams to support due diligence, integration planning, launch readiness, and post-acquisition execution.

What you’ll do

You’ll lead the sales strategy and operations work required to assess and integrate acquisitions into Stripe’s GTM organization. You’ll develop integration plans, design operating models, coordinate cross-functional execution, and help sales teams successfully bring acquired products to market.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with Corporate Development and GTM leaders during due diligence to assess sales motions, organizational structure, pipeline, customer segments, coverage models, systems, and operational risks
  • Translate acquisition strategy into an executable GTM integration plan with clear workstreams, owners, milestones, dependencies, decision points, and success measures
  • Design sales operating models for acquired products, including coverage, segmentation, account ownership, rules of engagement, lead routing, specialist support, partner motions, and customer expansion paths
  • Evaluate how acquired teams, products, customers, and pipelines should connect with Stripe’s existing sales processes and rhythm of business
  • Establish launch and integration readiness criteria covering seller readiness, systems and data, enablement, quoting, reporting, customer handoffs, and post-launch support
  • Coordinate execution across Sales, Corporate Development, Finance, Product, Product Marketing, Enablement, Deal Desk, Legal, and systems teams
  • Identify integration risks and execution gaps, recommend practical solutions, and escalate decisions with clear context and tradeoffs
  • Develop reporting and operating mechanisms that help leaders monitor integration progress, field adoption, pipeline health, and business performance
  • Support pricing, packaging, product catalog, quota, compensation, forecasting, and quote-to-cash workstreams in partnership with the relevant functional owners
  • Help establish durable ownership for ongoing processes before work transitions out of the integration phase
  • Build reusable due diligence, Day 1, Day 30, Day 90, launch readiness, and post-integration playbooks for future acquisitions
  • Use data and qualitative insights to evaluate integration outcomes and recommend adjustments to GTM strategy and execution

Who you are

  • Strong understanding of business-to-business GTM models, including direct sales, specialist sales, sales development, inbound routing, partner channels, renewals, expansion, and customer migration
  • Ability to turn ambiguous business questions into structured analyses, operating models, workstreams, timelines, and decision frameworks
  • Strong analytical skills, including experience using data to identify risks, evaluate options, and measure business performance
  • Demonstrated program leadership skills, including milestone management, dependency tracking, risk management, stakeholder alignment, and escalation
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex issues, recommendations, and tradeoffs to senior stakeholders

  • Experience with usage-based business models or financial technology products
  • Proficiency with Structured Query Language (SQL), Google Sheets, Excel, or business intelligence tools

  • Experience using artificial intelligence and automation to improve analysis or operational workflows

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 US base salary range for this role is $189,400 - $284,000. 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 location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.
