Global Strategic Alliances, Embedded Solutions Lead

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

Creating long-term value for our users is central to our mission at Stripe. The Strategic Global Alliances (SGA) team focuses on a subset of our highest priority partnerships. These partnerships operate at global scale with Stripe and present opportunities to create significant sales pipeline, deals sold, joint solutions and scaled delivery expertise. They include Global Systems Integrators (GSIs) such as Accenture, PwC, Infosys, in addition to technology partners, including Salesforce, Adobe, AWS, SAP, Microsoft to ultimately deliver joint value to our users. Our objective is to ensure users have access to the broadest set of Stripe solutions and the deepest set of technology and industry experts, while at the same time ensuring our partners and Stripe build large, mutually beneficial businesses together.

What you’ll do

As the Global Strategic Alliances Lead for Embedded Solutions, you will dedicate your efforts to embedding Stripe into the products and platforms of our top GSI partners. You will target two distinct opportunities: ‘Managed Stripe’ (where GSIs offer Stripe-as-a-Service bundled with operations) and ‘Embedded Stripe’ (where Stripe is part of the GSI’s proprietary IP or BPO stack). This position is focused on deepening our joint sales motion through joint solutions with our partners.

This new role represents a strategic expansion to unlock "sell-through" revenue by embedding Stripe into our partners' proprietary products, platforms, and managed services offerings. Our objective is to ensure GSIs view Stripe not just as a payment processor to implement, but as a core infrastructure component of their own technology stacks and "as-a-Service" offerings.

You will demonstrate an understanding of the Stripe Partner Ecosystem and the Stripe sales organization, and can recognize high impact opportunities, solutions, support deals for successful engagement with partners, and maintain high business hygiene.

You will drive towards end-customer value that results in business growth to both Accenture and Stripe by being partner-centric in all activities, serving as a leader and advocate for them within Stripe, and accurately representing Stripe within the partner's organization.

Responsibilities

Own the GSI Embedded Strategy: Drive the strategy to embed Stripe into GSI partner platforms and Managed Services offerings.
Partner with the Global PDM’s on building strategy, joint solution development, pipeline development and deal closure.
Incubate & Scale: Launch a focused incubation pilot with 3 GSIs validating the model before scaling globally.
Create New Revenue Streams: Unlock incremental revenue by positioning Stripe as a component of the GSI's own BPO, Managed Services, and Products / Platforms
Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with Stripe’s Platform Sales (AEs), Partner Development Managers (PDMs), and technical product teams to package Stripe for GSI product consumption.
Evangelize the Model: Educate GSI product leaders on the value of expanding their "Platform" monetization opportunity through new commercial models with Stripe
Manage Relationships: Build deep relationships with GSI product owners and managed services executives, effectively selling to the partner as well as with them.

Who you are

The Global Strategic Alliances Lead for Embedded Solutions will be a seasoned professional with strong business development, product partnership, and alliances experience. You understand the inner workings of large GSIs but possess the agile mindset of a SaaS platforms expert.

You are capable of engaging in business-level and technical conversations, shifting easily between a GSI’s Vice President of Managed Services and a Product Manager for a banking platform. You are an organized self-starter who can define a new route to market from scratch.

Minimum requirements

Hybrid work at Stripe

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.
