About the Team

Stripe’s Accounting Products team is building modern infrastructure for the Office of the CFO. Its vision is to give finance teams, and the agents that support them, one reconciled and explainable presentation of financial truth.

The team is developing products that help finance teams reconstruct business activity, determine accounting treatment, reconcile results, and gather supporting evidence. Revenue Recognition is the first major focus area, helping Billing and Metronome users turn complex revenue activity—including usage-based pricing, minimum commitments, credits, and contract modifications—into accurate, explainable journal entries.

This is a senior individual contributor role with significant ownership, autonomy, and influence across Product, Engineering, Design, Finance, Data Science, and Go-to-Market teams.

Responsibilities

• Define a focused product strategy, initial customer market, and roadmap, making explicit choices about priorities and revising them as evidence changes.
• Work directly with controllers, accountants, finance leaders, auditors, and implementation partners to understand accounting workflows, including month-end close, and translate customer problems into product requirements.
• Define how humans and agents work together to configure accounting policies, explain results, investigate exceptions, and propose or execute resolutions with appropriate review, approvals, controls, and audit trails.
• Shape Revenue Recognition for Stripe Billing and Metronome users, supporting accurate journal entries and revenue schedules for usage-based pricing, credits, minimum commitments, contract modifications, and other complex business models.
• Build products that are accurate, explainable, and operationally reliable, with results traceable to source activity, accounting treatment, and supporting evidence.
• Measure success through accurate closes, accepted outputs, time savings, reliable general-ledger handoffs, adoption, and retention.
• Take products from prototype to scale with design partners, deciding what to standardize, automate, or keep narrow.
• Define integrations with general ledgers, ERP, customer relationship management, and professional-services platforms.
• Align senior stakeholders and partner with Billing, Metronome, Tax, Payments, and other teams to ensure consistent financial results across products.
• Raise the quality of product thinking through clear writing, sound judgment, and constructive challenge.

Requirements

Minimum Requirements

• 10+ years of product management experience delivering complex, technically or domain-intensive products, including experience as a senior individual contributor who independently sets direction, aligns cross-functional teams, and drives decisions without formal authority.
• Experience building products for finance, accounting, or similarly demanding domains where accuracy, controls, traceability, and trust are essential.
• Strong customer instincts and experience working directly with specialized users to uncover underlying needs and translate domain complexity into coherent products.
• Understanding of complex systems, data models, APIs, integrations, and technical tradeoffs.
• Strong strategic judgment and experience taking products from ambiguity to execution, including identifying differentiated advantages, defining initial markets, sequencing multi-year opportunities, and connecting strategy to detailed requirements, data analysis, and delivery.
• Excellent written and verbal communication and collaborative leadership across technical, business, and go-to-market teams.
• Ability to clarify complex problems, align stakeholders, surface risks, and make or revise decisions as evidence changes in high-stakes environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building accounting products for controllers, accounting teams, or other Office of the CFO users.
• Working knowledge of revenue recognition under ASC 606 or IFRS 15, particularly for usage-based pricing, variable consideration, minimum commitments, credits, and contract modifications.
• Experience building AI or agent-powered products that investigate information, explain recommendations, or take action within defined controls and human review or approval workflows.
• Familiarity with general ledgers and ERP systems such as NetSuite, QuickBooks, or Xero, including the integrations and operational processes needed to transfer and reconcile financial results.
• An accounting background, CPA qualification, or experience partnering closely with accounting policy, controllership, or audit teams.
