Description
We're looking for a Financial Data Analyst to join our Technical Operations team in Payments. As a key component of Stripe's success, this role sits at the intersection of product/platform engineers and financial partners, connecting them to ensure that everyone thrives and nothing is lost in translation.
Your primary responsibility will be to collaborate across the company, including engineering, accounting, financial partnerships, and product teams, to analyze billions of dollars moving through the Stripe platform. You will translate network specifications into implementation instructions to create billing models for new and revised fees (both scheme and interchange), influence product strategy to minimize network costs, and work with Product and Engineering to implement cost-saving opportunities.
In addition, you will partner with Finance to prioritize areas for investment and explain trends in costs and margin impact, monitor and maintain the accuracy of the fees through validation and alerting, create fee explainability to internal and external stakeholders, host education sessions for internal teams to scale knowledge, and introduce data and process efficiencies to meet the scale and speed of Stripe.
To succeed in this role, you will need to have 5+ years of experience in Payments at a leading technology or payments company, experience writing SQL to query relational databases, managing communications and workflows with technical and non-technical teams across internal and external stakeholders, mentoring junior team members in technical skill development, operational strategy, and problem-solving, and navigating the nuanced complexity of financial systems and solving large-scale, technical challenges.
