Product Design Manager, Reporting  Accounting

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.

We believe there are too many barriers to doing business on the internet, and that opportunities are not equally distributed throughout the world. We also think building and growing a business online is a problem rooted in code, language, and design—not finance.

We’re designing tools and infrastructure to help our users start, run, and scale an online business from anywhere in the world. That’s where you come in: we’re looking for a Product Design Manager who will enable our product designers to build world-class brand and product experiences in a creative, focused environment.

Our broader Design team works across many types of product initiatives at Stripe—from our brand voice and websites to events, web and mobile products, primary qualitative and quantitative research, and even printed publications. And since Stripe’s main audience is other people who build products, we agonize over and take pride in crafting user-friendly and user-focused experiences.

Product Design Managers at Stripe have strong, proven experience in design, communication and people management skills. You’ll be a thoughtful team leader and manager, ensuring our products and features are the best in class for the merchants relying on Stripe to run and operate their businesses. You’ll be responsible for guiding the careers of your team of product designers, user researchers and content designers–working closely with each of them to help them realize their full potential. But Product Design Managers are not just people managers, they’re also strategic leaders in their space. You’ll get to have a hand in helping run your product space alongside engineering and product partners to define and craft vision, strategy, and roadmaps across teams.

• Influence stakeholders and leadership across functions on design vision and strategy
• Develop strong perspective on our Data, Reporting, and Accounting products and successfully advocate for it across the organization and company
• Hire, mentor and manage world class designers that consistently deliver on projects and ensure they’re balanced across different skill sets
• Manage team performance, health, resource allocation and advocacy, project prioritization, and fostering a trusting and collaborative design environment
• Contribute to high-level, forward thinking, strategic decisions with the rest of the product and executive teams

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.

• 6+ years of experience in Product Design
• 3+ years of design leadership experience with direct reports under your guidance and leadership
• Experience building and shipping applications or software across a variety of platforms
• Experience leading product direction and strategic thinking on a cross-functional team
• Experience representing work to a broader product team and other leaders, clearly and succinctly communicating goals and concepts
• A portfolio demonstrating relevant work and understanding of best practices in design

• Are a champion of simplicity and high craftsmanship
• Experience coaching designers into places of high impact aligned with their strengths and goals
• Can manage multiple simultaneous projects on different timelines and quickly adapt to unexpected changes to plan and process
• Experience with data visualization and reporting products
• Experience with accounting experiences
• Thrive in and encourage collaborative work environments while not hesitating to own, define, and deliver on complex and ambiguous tasks, projects, and programs
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
