The recently reorganized Product Operations team works across all Product teams at Stripe to ensure our product development and delivery processes are optimized and set up to deliver the highest quality products for all our users. The team helps to align go-to-market (GTM) and Product across various business verticals, and lead critical, cross-functional programs.

Our team’s mission is to enable efficient, user-centered product development at scale. We create,manage, and improve the central programs across Stripe that help us manage tensions as a growing tech company, from aggregating user feedback, to planning, to establishing launch processes, and helping create frameworks for strategic resource allocation.

Our programs facilitate cross-team information sharing throughout the development life cycle. We have a particular focus in ensuring that GTM and Product teams are tightly aligned in how we win users today and plan for the future.
