Partner Marketing Leader, Alliances & Channel

We’re looking for an experienced, strategic, and results-oriented marketing leader to own Stripe’s global partner marketing strategy for Services partners—including GSIs—and Technology/ISV partners. You’ll lead a global team, define the multi-year operating and investment model, build influential relationships with partner and Stripe leaders, and scale programs that drive partner-sourced and partner-attached pipeline, customer activation, and product adoption. This role requires setting a clear long-term direction while leading through others and using performance insights to focus the organization on its highest-impact opportunities. • Set the multi-year vision and global strategy for Services, GSI, and Technology/ISV partner marketing, translating Stripe’s company, marketing, and partnerships priorities into an operating model, investment strategy, and measurable outcomes. • Lead and develop a high-performing global team of four Partner Marketing professionals across APAC, AMER, and EMEA. Establish clear accountability, build organizational capability, evolve the team as business needs change, and ensure agencies and vendors extend the team effectively. • Build trusted relationships with partner CMOs and senior Stripe leaders. Develop joint strategies with priority partners and align global and regional teams around shared priorities, investments, and execution. • Own a portfolio of differentiated programs for strategic partners and scalable programs for the broader ecosystem. Integrate partners into Stripe campaigns, regional initiatives, co-sell motions, events, content, and enablement to drive pipeline, activation, and product adoption. • Shape joint value propositions, messaging, and customer evidence, and turn successful programs into reusable playbooks that can scale across partners and regions. • Establish governance for market development funds and other investments, alongside the performance framework, dashboards, and business-review cadence. Use data and financial insight to assess impact, address underperformance, and reallocate resources toward the strongest opportunities.

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. • Experience developing marketing strategies for Services, GSI, Technology, or ISV partners in a global, high-growth technology environment. • Experience in payments, financial technology, enterprise software, or an adjacent industry. • Breadth across partner marketing and adjacent disciplines such as demand generation, product marketing, field marketing, or integrated campaigns. • Experience managing agencies or vendors across markets and holding them accountable for quality and results.
