About the team

Global Partnership’s North Star is to drive outsized growth for 1/ our users, by enabling Stripe products and expanding into new markets via partnerships, 2/ Stripe, by creating value across partner distribution and margin optimization, and 3/ our partners, by serving as an unparalleled distribution engine for their business.

• Track projects, timelines and commitments on internal projects and customer deliverables
