About the team
The Customer Success team oversees the post-sales lifecycle for Stripe users, ensuring they realize the maximum value of their investment. This partnership drives user success, increases retention and expansion, and supports mutually beneficial renewal outcomes. Few teams provide such a direct impact on the growth of the company.
The Customer Success Strategy & Operations team sits at the center of how Customer Success operates at Stripe. This role shapes both the function’s day-to-day operating model—from leadership forums and territory and compensation design to the systems and cadences that enable execution—and its long-term direction. You will lead annual planning, OKR development, and engagement-model design to ensure CS is positioned to deliver for users and scale effectively.
This is a true ‘Business Partner’ role; you will serve as a trusted thought partner to Customer Success leadership—combining strategic insight, operational rigor, and hands-on execution. You will help translate CS priorities into actionable plans, drive cross-functional initiatives, and build the operating mechanisms that enable teams to make better decisions, execute consistently, and scale effectively.
If you enjoy moving between strategic problem-solving and hands-on execution—and bring a roll-up-your-sleeves mindset—this role is for you.
What you’ll do
The near-term focus of this role is on evolving and scaling the foundations of the Customer Success business. This includes strengthening operating models, processes, business cadences, systems, and reporting infrastructure to support a growing and increasingly specialized organization. As a key business partner, you’ll measure and analyze performance, develop forecasts and dashboards, and lead data-informed process improvements that help the CS team operate more efficiently and deliver greater customer impact.
