Global Head of Specialist Solutions Architecture, Revenue Suite

<h2><strong>Who we are </strong></h2> <h3><strong>About Stripe</strong></h3> <p>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.</p> <h3><strong>About the team</strong></h3> <p>Specialist Solutions Architects (SSAs) are domain experts aligned to Stripe’s solutions and the customer buying centers they serve. We combine deep product and industry expertise with an understanding of our customers’ most complex business and technical challenges.</p> <p>The SSA team partners with specialist sellers and the broader pre-sales organization to shape strategic opportunities, develop pipeline, improve revenue attainment, and turn Stripe’s product capabilities into measurable customer outcomes. We also bring field insights to Product and Engineering, helping influence Stripe’s roadmap and go-to-market strategy.</p> <p>Stripe's Revenue Suite helps businesses monetize however their customers want to buy: subscription, usage-based, or hybrid pricing. As monetization models get more complex and pricing becomes something companies iterate on continuously rather than set once, this team sits at the center of how Stripe helps businesses price, bill, recognize, and report on revenue.</p> <h2><strong>What you’ll do</strong></h2> <p>As Global Head of Specialist Solutions Architecture for Revenue, you will lead the global strategy, execution, and growth of the SSA organization supporting Stripe's full Revenue Suite: Stripe Billing and Metronome together. You will define how Stripe engages customers across the entire monetization-to-revenue-reporting lifecycle, including subscription management, usage-based and hybrid billing, invoicing, tax, revenue recognition, and analytics, from initial business and technical discovery through solution design, adoption, value realization, and expansion.</p> <p>This is a second line leadership role. You will manage a mix of regional managers, each leading their own team of specialist architects, along with a small number of senior individual contributors reporting to you directly. You will build and develop this multi-layered organization and create the operating model, playbooks, and cross-functional partnerships needed to scale it worldwide. Working closely with Sales, Marketing, Alliances, Professional Services, Support, Product, and Engineering, you will help customers modernize their revenue infrastructure while accelerating adoption and growth for Stripe's Revenue Suite across every region we operate in.</p> <p>This is an opportunity to shape a global function at an important point in Stripe's expansion beyond payments. You will connect deep technical expertise to customer value and commercial outcomes while ensuring that customer needs from every region influence Stripe's global product and go-to-market direction.</p> <h3><strong>Responsibilities</strong></h3> <ul> <li>Own and execute the global technical sales strategy for Stripe's Revenue Suite, aligning specialist coverage, priorities, and investments with growth opportunities across AMER, EMEA, and APAC</li> <li>Recruit, lead, and develop a high-performing organization of regional managers and senior individual contributors, establishing clear expectations for technical excellence, customer impact, and commercial contribution</li> <li>Coach and develop your managers directly, building their leadership capability so they can in turn grow strong specialist architects on their own teams</li> <li>Partner with Sales leadership to prioritize resources, shape account strategies, and improve the progression and conversion of complex opportunities</li> <li>Establish repeatable engagement models, playbooks, reference architectures, and execution standards across the monetization-to-revenue-reporting lifecycle, including subscription management, usage-based and hybrid billing, invoicing, tax, revenue recognition, and analytics</li> <li>Advise executives, developers, architects, finance leaders, and other decision-makers on modernizing their monetization and revenue-management architectures</li> <li>Guide strategic customers from business and technical discovery through solution design, validation, adoption, value realization, and expansion</li> <li>Translate recurring customer needs, market signals, and deal friction into actionable insights that influence Product and Engineering priorities</li> <li>Represent the Revenue SSA organization in global leadership forums, providing clear perspectives on performance, capacity, risks, customer needs, and growth opportunities</li> <li>Shape the Revenue Suite go-to-market approach across every region, accounting for regional regulatory requirements, business models, and market-specific billing practices</li> <li>Build strong collaboration and knowledge-sharing mechanisms across regional and global teams to improve consistency, reuse, and execution quality</li> <li>Advance Stripe's external thought leadership through executive briefings, industry events, white papers, and reference architectures focused on billing, monetization, tax automation, and revenue management</li> </ul> <h2><strong>Who you are</strong></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role.
