About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses.

What you’ll do

In this role, you will help build and execute Stripe’s strategy for agentic commerce. You will identify and launch lighthouse partnerships across AI agents, merchants, commerce platforms, marketplaces, and technology providers; move early opportunities from exploration to production; and turn market learning into repeatable go-to-market motions. You will work across Product, Engineering, Sales, Solutions Architecture, Product Marketing, Legal, and Finance to position Stripe as critical infrastructure for agent-led commerce.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute Stripe’s go-to-market and ecosystem strategy for agentic commerce.
• Build trusted relationships across AI companies and agent developers, merchants and brands, commerce platforms, marketplaces, and technology partners, creating mutually reinforcing adoption across the ecosystem.
• Identify, cultivate, and launch lighthouse opportunities, moving partners from early exploration through technical validation, commercial alignment, production launch, and scaled adoption.
• Develop a deep understanding of the distinct needs of buyers, agents, sellers, and ecosystem partners, and translate emerging use cases into viable technical and commercial solutions.
• Shape and articulate Stripe’s agentic commerce narrative for technical, commercial, and executive audiences, including how Stripe enables secure checkout, identity and permissions, payment credentials, risk management, product discovery, and monetization.
• Partner with core Account Executives, Solutions Architects, Product, Engineering, Product Marketing, Legal, and Finance to structure solutions, partnerships, and emerging commercial models.
• Build repeatable qualification, pilot, co-sell, activation, and scaling playbooks and enablement for Stripe’s broader field organization.
• Create a structured voice-of-market loop that turns customer and partner signals into actionable product priorities, roadmap recommendations, and launch sequencing.
• Represent Stripe with customers, partners, and industry audiences through EBCs, Sessions, Tours, and other strategic forums, helping establish Stripe as a leader in agentic commerce.
