You'll think strategically about the art of the possible for the user’s business, and be able to clearly articulate that in a way that informs and builds confidence in Stripe’s technology.

You should be able to engage and motivate cross-functionally both internally and within our customer’s organisations at all levels, from Cx to Product Engineering. You'll have a track record of delivering outstanding customer results as part of a pre-sales team, but a history of deep technical work that gives you the ability to be credible with any audience.
