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

As a Sales Development Manager at Stripe, you'll drive Stripe's future growth engine by leading a team of inbound and outbound SDRs. You'll work with Stripe's Sales teams to build Stripe's sales pipeline. As a Sales Development Manager, you'll lead and coach a group of high-performing SDRs, helping them deliver on ambitious targets, as well as work directly with the team. We're looking for a self-starter who has demonstrated success dealing with ambiguity, operating in a high-growth environment, and solving problems with limited oversight. Ideal candidates will have management experience scaling a technology Sales Development team and superior communication skills.

We take a data-driven, problem-solving approach to Sales Development, and look for someone who enjoys building—who will actively participate in the development of sales processes, the articulation of Stripe's value proposition, and the creation of key tools and assets to measure success. Stripe is not a typical company, and this is not a typical sales development function. If you're hungry, smart, persistent, and a great teammate, we want to hear from you.
