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.

About the team
The Startup Products team builds Stripe Atlas and other products that help founders start and run a company, from anywhere in the world. We believe that startups are one of the most effective ways to solve the world's problems, and we want to give founders a running start — and keep them running. We help founders form their company, raise capital, execute critical legal agreements, access the internet's best tools, and automate operations while feeling ambitious, smart, and assured. Our goal is to create more startups that get to product-market fit, fast.
Our team is composed of high-agency, high-ownership product thinkers, who genuinely care about helping founders and making it easier to start and run a startup. Every person on the team is responsible for making our product the best it can be, and for ensuring our roadmap contains the highest impact ships for founders.
What you’ll do
As a product manager on the Startup Products team, you’ll gain a deep understanding of what early stage founders need to get their company off the ground, identify the most important pain points to solve, help set the product strategy, scope product features and technical infrastructure, collaborate with design, drive execution with engineering, craft product marketing, and plan for go-to-market.
Responsibilities
- Deeply understand the needs of startup founders and learn how they use Atlas and other startup products.
- Stay at the front of the ever changing technology landscape, ensuring we are building where founders are and with tools they want to use.
- Drive product development in collaboration with engineering counterparts by setting the pace, prioritizing ruthlessly, and unblocking execution.
- Craft product experiences that are both simple and powerful, with surprisingly great details.
- Contribute to our product strategy and own delivery of product and business metrics.
- Work collaboratively with internal stakeholders and deliver clear communication on statuses, priorities, and landed impact.
- Represent Atlas externally with founders, venture capitalists, accelerators, and partners. Establish new external partnerships as needed to drive product development.
- Develop and maintain metrics to help us understand product performance.
- Ensure that every user has a great experience with Atlas, using any means at your disposal. Review feedback, unblock stuck users, collaborate with our support teams, and recommend and deliver product solutions to common user problems.
