About the role
Who we are
About Stripe
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.
About the team
Stripe’s Accounting Products team is building modern infrastructure for the Office of the CFO. Our vision is to give finance teams, and the agents that support them, one reconciled and explainable presentation of financial truth.
Today, the data and context required to make accounting decisions are fragmented across billing systems, contracts, spreadsheets, general ledgers, and the minds of the people doing the work. Finance teams spend significant time reconstructing what happened, determining the appropriate accounting treatment, reconciling results, and gathering evidence. Giving an agent access to the underlying data is not enough: it also needs the business context, accounting policies, approved judgments, and guardrails required to act reliably.
Revenue Recognition is our first major proof point. Stripe has a unique opportunity to help Billing and Metronome users turn complex revenue activity—including usage-based pricing, minimum commitments, credits, and contract modifications—into accurate, explainable journal entries. Our ambition is for agents to take on the investigation, configuration, and repetitive work while accountants retain control over consequential judgments and approvals.
Over time, we expect to expand into additional Office of the CFO workflows, and we are looking for a Staff Product Manager to help turn this vision into products that finance teams trust. 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.
What you’ll do
You’ll own a significant product area within Accounting Products, setting its strategy, roadmap, and measures of success. You’ll translate the broader product vision into a focused plan, taking it from customer discovery and early prototypes through scaled adoption.
You’ll help build the future of agentic accounting: products that help finance teams automate work, understand financial results, and resolve exceptions while retaining control. Your work will connect Stripe’s Revenue Suite with the external systems customers rely on to manage their accounting workflows.
Responsibilities
- Define a focused product strategy, initial customer market, and roadmap, making explicit choices about where Stripe has an advantage, what to prioritize, and what not to build, and revising those choices 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 clear 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, and 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, and 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 make financial results consistent across products, raising the quality of product thinking through clear writing, sound judgment, and constructive challenge
Who you are
We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
Minimum requirements
- 10+ years of product management experience delivering complex, technically or domain-intensive products, including 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, with a high bar for correctness, explainability, reliability, and operability
- Strong customer instincts and experience working directly with specialized users to uncover underlying needs and translate domain complexity into coherent products, supported by an understanding of complex systems, data models, APIs, integrations, and technical tradeoffs
- Strong strategic judgment and experience taking products from ambiguity to execution: 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, with the 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 users in the Office of the CFO
- 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
