Staff Product Manager, Accounting Products

Job Description

Stripe’s Accounting Products team is building modern infrastructure for the Office of the CFO. Our vision is to give finance teams, and the agents that support them, one reconciled and explainable presentation of financial truth.

You’ll own a significant product area within Accounting Products, setting its strategy, roadmap, and measures of success. You’ll translate the broader product vision into a focused plan, taking it from customer discovery and early prototypes through scaled adoption.

Responsibilities

• Define a focused product strategy, initial customer market, and roadmap, making explicit choices about where Stripe has an advantage, what to prioritize, and what not to build, and revising those choices as evidence changes
• Work directly with controllers, accountants, finance leaders, auditors, and implementation partners to understand accounting workflows, including month-end close, and translate customer problems into clear product requirements
• Define how humans and agents work together to configure accounting policies, explain results, investigate exceptions, and propose or execute resolutions, with appropriate review, approvals, controls, and audit trails
• Shape Revenue Recognition for Stripe Billing and Metronome users, supporting accurate journal entries and revenue schedules for usage-based pricing, credits, minimum commitments, contract modifications, and other complex business models
• Build products that are accurate, explainable, and operationally reliable, with results traceable to source activity, accounting treatment, and supporting evidence, and measure success through accurate closes, accepted outputs, time savings, reliable general-ledger handoffs, adoption, and retention
• Take products from prototype to scale with design partners, deciding what to standardize, automate, or keep narrow, and define integrations with general ledgers, ERP, customer relationship management, and professional-services platforms
• Align senior stakeholders and partner with Billing, Metronome, Tax, Payments, and other teams to make financial results consistent across products, raising the quality of product thinking through clear writing, sound judgment, and constructive challenge

Requirements

• 10+ years of product management experience delivering complex, technically or domain-intensive products, including as a senior individual contributor who independently sets direction, aligns cross-functional teams, and drives decisions without formal authority
• Experience building products for finance, accounting, or similarly demanding domains where accuracy, controls, traceability, and trust are essential, with a high bar for correctness, explainability, reliability, and operability
• Strong customer instincts and experience working directly with specialized users to uncover underlying needs and translate domain complexity into coherent products, supported by an understanding of complex systems, data models, APIs, integrations, and technical tradeoffs
• Strong strategic judgment and experience taking products from ambiguity to execution: identifying differentiated advantages, defining initial markets, sequencing multi-year opportunities, and connecting strategy to detailed requirements, data analysis, and delivery
• Excellent written and verbal communication and collaborative leadership across technical, business, and go-to-market teams, with the ability to clarify complex problems, align stakeholders, surface risks, and make or revise decisions as evidence changes in high-stakes environments
