Details

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. The Custom Objects team builds a product that allows businesses to define custom data models in Stripe, such as Shipments, Reservations, or InsurancePolicies, and use that custom data with Stripe-native objects including Customers, Subscriptions, and Invoices.

Custom objects are the data pillar of Stripe’s extensibility platform, which also includes Stripe Apps, Stripe Workflows, scripts, and extension points. The role will lead the Custom Objects product, making it easy for users to model, ingest, and use data on Stripe.

Responsibilities

Lead the entire product line for an early-stage product currently in private preview, including identifying use cases, product design, rapid iteration with early adopters, pricing, and related activities.
Interact with customers and internal product teams daily to validate product ideas, requirements, and prototypes.
Partner with engineering and design to ship functionality that delights users, balances impact with engineering cost, and produces measurable results.
Develop the vision, strategy, and roadmap for launching Custom Objects in public preview in early 2027.
Define key success metrics.
Work closely with user researchers to test hypotheses and understand user pain points.

Requirements

12+ years of product management experience.
A computer science background or equivalent technical experience.
Passion for and experience building data platforms. Examples include building a custom data platform such as Salesforce Custom Objects, Shopify Metaobjects, or HubSpot Custom Objects, or building a tool that consumes or modifies objects from those platforms.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to structure ambiguous concepts clearly and from first principles.
Ability to thrive in a collaborative environment involving different functions, stakeholders, and subject matter experts.
Demonstrated experience leading initiatives across large engineering organizations and spanning multiple teams to influence technical roadmap planning and execution.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience using social media to interact directly with customers for feedback.
Experience founding a business or startup and taking a product from zero to one.
A practice of personally test-driving functionality and making substantial edits to documentation before shipping.
