Collaborating closely with sales, we focus on accelerating the path to purchase and enhancing product adoption among our user base.

What you’ll do

In this role you will act as a high-touch bridge between the company's senior leadership and its most strategic users. You will own and evolve Stripe's executive hospitality programmes across EMEA — leveraging premium experiences, sports properties, and strategic events to build meaningful C-suite relationships. The focus of this role is to position Stripe's regional executives as thought leaders, increasing visibility and credibility in line with Stripe's mission to grow the GDP of the internet. Ultimately, this role converts C-suite engagement into deep relationships and partnerships and measurable business outcomes, including brand consideration, strategic deal acceleration, and pipeline growth.

Responsibilities

• Craft the executive marketing strategy within high-priority account segments, including established enterprises and digital native businesses.
• Executive Engagement Strategy: Design regional frameworks for Executive Account-Based Marketing that target high-value "in-market" accounts and active buying groups.
• Craft tailored engagement plans for senior enterprise executives, startups and ecosystem stakeholders to reinforce Stripe as the leader in Financial Infrastructure and enterprise-ready organisation to support all business models.
• Sports Hospitality Programme Management: Own and manage Stripe's sports hospitality programmes across EMEA — including premium experiences tied to major sporting properties and partnerships — ensuring they deliver strategic value, executive-level engagement, and measurable business outcomes.
• EMEA Executive Experiences Playbook: Create, codify, and deploy a scalable executive experiences playbook across EMEA markets, establishing consistent frameworks, best practices, and repeatable models that can be localised for regional nuances while maintaining strategic alignment.
• Managing Executive Hospitality & Events: Oversee end-to-end execution of executive events, ranging from private executive dinners to the executive engagements (one-to-one meetings) at large-scale conferences like Stripe Tour event platforms.
• Ensure events are not just "gatherings" but strategic experiences designed to drive deeper account engagement and foster long-term client CxO level relationships.
• Leading Executive Programs for Corporate Events: Define event objectives, success metrics, and scope for major executive programs including Stripe Sessions and Tours and Customer Advisory Boards.
• Lead cross-functional workstreams (Sales, Product, Leadership) to produce executive engagement user-centric approaches that showcase newly updated solutions and market trends.
• Executive Thought Leadership & Social Media: Devise strategies to build an authentic, authoritative presence for senior Stripe leaders (EMEA CRO) on channels like LinkedIn, by partnering with Communications teams, focusing on value-driven education rather than self-promotion.
• Utilize diverse formats — partnering closely with Comms to increase EMEA Stripe executive touch points via podcasts, articles, and short-form videos — to demonstrate industry insights and build organizational credibility.
• Strategic Event Identification & Participation: Identify high-trust, high-value "niche" executive communities and industry circles for senior leaders to join and increase Stripe's connection to shaping the financial infrastructure landscape in the region.
• Executive Engagement ROI & Pipeline Influence: Take a data-driven view to measure the success of executive programs, using metrics like Net Promoter Score (NPS) and marketing-attributed pipeline growth.
• Accelerate deal cycles by using first-party engagement data to refine executive programs and identify "ready-for-conversation" participants.
• Building Partnerships & Relationships: Serve as the key regional point of contact for senior management, senior leaders, and high-impact B2B users.
• Track, measure, and communicate program results, continually optimizing for efficiency and scale while fostering a culture of innovation.
• Be creative in finding new ways to advise a diverse range of enterprise personas about the value Stripe brings to businesses.
