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 Professional Services (ProServ) Strategy & Operations team drives business changes related to tooling, processes, and policies. We facilitate incremental improvements in productivity to help ProServ deliver solutions and enhance Stripe's revenue. Our global team spans the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific, composed of business partners working directly with ProServ and technical resources managing tools, data, analytics, and operational activities. Your efforts will have a significant impact on supporting a rapidly scaling sales organization while ensuring that customers from global enterprises to ambitious startups can efficiently adopt and integrate Stripe's capabilities.

What you’ll do

We are looking for a foundational builder to lead the charge in standing up our net-new Certinia implementation. This isn't a "maintenance" role, you will be the primary architect and engineer responsible for designing, building, and launching our Professional Services automation engine from the ground up. As a key member of the ProServ Strategy & Operations team, you will bridge the gap between business vision and technical execution. You’ll be a thought leader who isn’t afraid to roll up your sleeves to write Apex, design complex flows, and integrate APIs, all while ensuring our global ProServ team has a world-class platform to scale. Once established, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management and optimization of our Certinia environment as well as iterating and improvements as Stripe’s needs change. This is a unique opportunity to replace our core platform, driving significant efficiencies and playing a key role in our success over the coming years as we scale.

Responsibilities

• Greenfield Implementation: Take ownership and responsibility in the end-to-end stand-up of Certinia on Salesforce. Key contribution to everything from initial discovery and architectural design to full-scale global deployment.
  
• Technical Ownership: Act as the primary architect and hands-on builder for Certinia, developing high-performing objects, complex flows, and integrations that scale with Stripe’s growth.
  
• Strategic Partnership: Collaborate with ProServ leadership to translate abstract business needs into technical reality, serving as a thought leader for how our project management ecosystem should function.
  
• Data & Integration: Lead critical data migration efforts and partner with Engineering to unlock the value of Stripe’s data, ensuring seamless connectivity between Certinia and our core internal systems.
  
• System Health & Scaling: Design holistically for flexibility and maintainability; you aren't just building for today, but for a global organization of Stripes.
  
• Operational Excellence: Balance high-level architecture with daily execution. Managing data hygiene, designing intuitive dashboards, and providing the boots on the ground support and training to drive team adoption.
