Project Manager, People Operations

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.

Stripe is growing fast, and our operations need to scale with it. We’re looking for an experienced Project Manager to join our team and help drive operational and organizational change while supporting a variety of run-the-business processes.

This is a newly-created role reporting to the head of People Operations. In this role, you will lead multiple concurrent projects and initiatives of varying complexity in service of the team’s key objectives and critical deliverables. Some projects you’ll manage end-to-end, while on others, you’ll represent our team as part of a broader working group. Some projects will have long timelines, while others will require a quick and efficient turnaround. Every day, you’ll utilize your superpowers of organization, detail orientation, relationship building and influencing, and the ability to flex up into strategy and down into tactics to drive impact. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of Stripe’s ongoing HR transformation and bring a high level of craft and beauty to your role as Project Manager on the People Operations team.
