Who we are

About Stripe

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.

About the team

The Executive Content & Experiences team builds trusted relationships with leaders shaping the global economy. We design high-impact programs—including executive briefings, advisory boards, flagship convenings at Davos, and executive programming at Stripe Sessions—to bring Stripe's strategy to life. Beyond delivering premier high-touch moments, we turn leadership insights into actionable intelligence that directly informs Stripe’s narratives, product, and go-to-market direction.

What you’ll do

We are looking for an Executive Experiences Program Manager to drive end-to-end operational excellence for our most high-profile leadership programs. This involves leading global operations for Tier-1 flagship moments like Davos, our Exec Summit at Sessions, the launch of new Executive Briefing Centers, as well as managing broader operations and budget allocation across the team. This high-visibility role sits at the intersection of product marketing, executive engagement, strategic hospitality, and B2B pipeline development. You will build and scale a world-class execution engine that delivers flawless, high-touch experiences for executive audiences. This requires someone who can move fluidly between strategic planning and hands-on execution and can zoom in and out based on the task at hand.

Responsibilities

• Lead global end-to-end operational program management for flagship executive experiences (including Davos, Exec Summit at Sessions, and EBC space launches) across cross-functional internal teams and external partners.
• Build, maintain, and evolve repeatable playbooks, best practices documentation, and toolkits to scale our executive event execution engine efficiently.
• Coordinate and manage global budget planning and tracking in close partnership with accountable leads to ensure spend remains on-track.
• Own executive-ready program communications, operationalizing reporting across functions into unified, digestible status updates and leadership dashboards.
• Drive ongoing operational improvements via process innovation, automation, and the adoption of AI-powered tools to increase productivity and transform team workflows.

Who you are

A sharp, organized problem-solver who is a self-starter. You bring structure, clarity, and simplicity to complex problems and focus teams with competing priorities into aligned goals and plans. You are equally comfortable presenting to C-suite executives as you are clearing tactical operational roadblocks. You design systems, tools, and AI-first workflows to structure and automate programs and processes. You don’t think 1 step ahead, you think 10 steps ahead; you lead teams to structure phased milestones to achieve the intended end vision. You proactively anticipate risk and account for dependencies in plans to ensure we are planful and prepared for every foreseeable execution need in high-stakes environments.

We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum requirements

• 10+ years of project management experience, ideally in marketing or events
• Strong experience leading complex cross-functional initiatives
• Proven ability to manage multiple stakeholders at the executive and working team level and competing priorities
• Excellent organizational, communication, and follow-through skills
• Experience managing budgets, creating playbooks, and operational documentation for scaled program maturity

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with large-scale, high-profile, executive-facing events
• Experience managing projects in Asana (or other project planning software)
• Experience with budget and procurement software 
• Experience partnering with agencies, vendors and third parties to bring consistency and standards
• Experience in the Tech industry; financial services, payments, or B2B software a plus
• AI project management workflow automation
