Experience co-selling and co-solutioning with go-to-market partners.

qualifications A background in payments systems and e-commerce solutions is a plus but not a requirement. Hands-on experience with SAP. Hybrid work at Stripe This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office). In-office expectations Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users.
