About the position
As the Product Lead, Head of Americas and Bank Methods at Stripe, you will be responsible for two strategically important pillars of the Global and LPM team: Our product strategy, roadmap, and execution in Latin America and Canada (all non-US countries in the Americas), and Our Bank Methods products. For Latin America and Canada, you'll help determine which product features we should prioritize to win in these markets. In LatAm, you will improve product-market fit in Mexico and chart a product strategy for Brazil. You will also help evaluate whether and how we should expand into other LatAm countries. You'll think creatively about the product and infrastructure required to achieve our goals, and assess whether to build, partner, or buy in the region. This work will require deep cross-functional collaboration with other product teams to ensure their products are localized effectively. As the leader for the Bank Methods team, you'll define the strategy, set the roadmap, and work closely with engineering to build Stripe's Bank Methods products. Your work will span: Strategic direction (e.g., should we focus on B2B businesses, platforms, Enterprise, or self-serve?), Product design (e.g., how do we build a product with the low cost of bank methods and the ease of use of credit cards?), and Day-to-day roadmap execution. For both pillars, your scope will be global, though the engineering teams you work with will primarily be based in the US and Europe.
