Program Manager, Performance and Talent Planning

the opportunity to continue to build, solve, and innovate every day. ### Responsibilities - Drive and scale Stripe’s performance philosophy and practices. Design and improve performance experiences that help Stripes understand expectations, grow through feedback, and make meaningful contributions. - Evolve performance and talent tooling. Partner with People Products and cross-functional stakeholders to translate program needs into scalable systems, processes, and user journeys. - Strengthen career growth and talent investment. Help shape the programs, mechanisms, and insights that enable career development, talent planning, succession, and thoughtful investment in Stripe’s people as the company grows. - Lead complex, cross-functional workstreams. Build alignment among global stakeholders; surface risks and dependencies early; make progress in ambiguous environments; and unblock critical decisions quickly. - Use insights to improve outcomes. Define clear problem statements, gather qualitative and quantitative data, and use those insights to refine strategy, programs, and execution. ## Who you are You are a systems thinker who can connect the details of a program or product experience to the broader organizational context. You are energized by ambiguity and complexity, and thrive in bringing just enough structure, clarity, and strong momentum to the work. You build trusted relationships, communicate directly and thoughtfully, and create accountability across teams, with speed. ### Minimum requirements - 10+ years of experience building and scaling global People or HR experiences, with experience across both process and product or systems design - Experience leading complex programs in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where high ownership and cross-functional problem solving are expected. - Strong systems thinking: the ability to understand how people, processes, tools, policies, and organizational decisions influence one another over time and how to augment workflows and processes using AI tools. - A demonstrated ability to build enduring, trusted stakeholder relationships; communicate effectively across levels and functions; and establish clear decision-making and accountability mechanisms. - A disciplined approach to problem solving. You begin with the “why,” define and refine problem statements steeped in both quantitative and qualitative data, and continuously ask “is this the right problem to solve, at the right time?” - High agency and sound judgment. You identify opportunities or risks, take action quickly, and escalate thoughtfully when progress is blocked. - Deep alignment with Stripe’s Operating Principle, Obsess over Talent. You believe that people are one of Stripe’s greatest unlocks: attracting exceptional talent, creating environments where they can thrive, building systems that support growth, and recognizing meaningful contributions. - Curiosity and humility. You are a continuous learner who seeks to understand before acting, welcomes ideas from many sources, and is willing to change course when new evidence suggests a better path. ### Preferred qualifications - 10+ years of experience across a diverse portfolio of People programs: talent management, organizational development, leadership and/or executive development, program and talent operations, and compensation and benefits - People product design and management experience in high growth environments with fast iterative cycles, changing priorities, and a steady stream of feature requests and backlog - Experience and excellence leading executive level talent discussions that influence People strategy, with humility, curiosity, and a grounded presence ## Working remotely at Stripe A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices.
