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

Link helps Stripe’s merchants deliver frictionless and secure checkout experiences by auto-filling customers’ payment information. Link enables customers to checkout in just 6 seconds, increasing conversion rates for Stripe’s merchants by over 7%. Link is available on the sites of hundreds of thousands of merchants—customers can save payment info on any Link-supported site, and pay in one click across the Link merchant network. Link is built into merchants’ existing payments integrations on Stripe, with no additional charges or fees.

What you’ll do

We’re hiring a Product Manager to lead the strategy and development of Link Balance — a foundational product that transforms Link from a one-click checkout into a global consumer financial platform. Link Balance is built on stablecoins, powered by Bridge and Privy, and distributed through Stripe’s network of 200 million consumers. Link Balance brings the borderless, programmable, and instant utility of digital dollars into everyday use. You’ll define how value is stored, surfaced, and spent across Link, designing experiences that make digital money feel as intuitive and safe as any other payment method. This is a 0 to 1 opportunity to help Stripe grow the GDP of the internet by building its native currency and shaping how digital dollars move through the global economy.

Responsibilities

• Establish the multi-year strategy for how stablecoins are stored, surfaced, and spent across Link, shaping both foundational infrastructure and consumer experiences.

• Lead discovery and experimentation to identify and prioritize the most impactful features and opportunities, making clear recommendations based on what drives the most value for consumers and merchants.

• Drive product development and launch execution, scoping, coordinating, and shipping new capabilities in partnership with Engineering, Design, Treasury, Compliance, and Go-To-Market teams.

• Develop and manage cross-functional relationships across Stripe, Bridge, and Privy to ensure the balance model scales globally, integrates seamlessly into Stripe’s network, and upholds the highest standards of safety, compliance, and reliability.

• Define and track success metrics for adoption, engagement, and reliability, using insights to iterate quickly, optimize user experience, and guide future roadmap decisions.
