Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach while doing the most important work of your career.

Global Business Services’ (GBS) Business Practices team establishes and manages policies and processes for the GTM motion, including deal policy, approval and revenue contracting processes, and other deal related operations (e.g. misbilling, deal support models, etc).

GBS’s priorities are set through the direction of Stripe leadership and executive vision, partnership with sales and cross-functional organizations. This role sits within Global Business Practices’ Business Practices team, responsible for establishing, managing, and improving policies and processes to improve deal quality and velocity for Stripe.
