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

The Global Alliances and Channels team drives growth by building and scaling go-to-market partnerships with world-class professional services firms—including global systems integrators and consultancies—alongside strategic technology leaders like AWS, Salesforce, and Adobe.

You will define and scale retail-specific Agentic solutions with select partners, embedding Stripe’s payments and billing infrastructure into the core of broader digital transformation initiatives. Success is measured by partner-led user acquisition and revenue growth across this cohort.
