About
the team The Data Science & Analytics organization at Stripe partners with teams across the company to drive rigorous, data-informed decision-making at scale. Within this org, the Verifications and Greater China (GCN) data teams deliver critical analytical and data science work — from identity verification and risk modeling to market-specific growth insights — that directly shapes Stripe's ability to serve users safely and expand into new markets. Today,
the team comprises ICs distributed across Singapore and India, supporting two high-impact pillars. We are looking for a founding Data Science Manager based in Bengaluru to build and lead this growing regional footprint from the ground up. What you’ll do This is a rare 0 → 1 leadership role with a dual mandate: Pillar 1: Direct Team Leadership Manage a team of Data Scientists and Data Analysts (currently 4 ICs across India and Singapore) spanning the Verifications and GCN workstreams. Own roadmap prioritization, execution quality, and stakeholder alignment for both workstreams. Drive hiring for open and future roles in India, building a high-caliber data team in a competitive talent market. Foster IC growth through real-time coaching, mentorship, career development, and performance management. Pillar 2: Regional Data Craft Lead (India Office) Serve as the founding data craft leader for Stripe's India office. Set quality standards, establishing community rituals (knowledge sharing, peer reviews, office hours), and cultivating a strong local data culture. Act as the go-to point of contact for data craft standards, tooling, and best practices for co-located analysts, even those outside your direct reporting line. Partner with managers and leads across the broader Data org to ensure consistency in methodology, tooling, and quality bar. Support onboarding and integration of new data hires in the Bengaluru office. Over time, this role has the potential to evolve into a Center of Excellence (COE) model — becoming the single point of data leadership in India across multiple product pillars (e.g., Payments, Growth, Marketing), not just Risk.
Responsibilities Build, manage, and develop a high-performing, geographically distributed data team Define and drive the data roadmap in close partnership with product, engineering, and business stakeholders — ensuring analytical work is tightly coupled to business outcomes. Establish and raise the bar on analytical rigor, experimentation frameworks, and data science best practices across
the team. Recruit and retain exceptional data talent, crafting a compelling hiring narrative anchored in local leadership and craft excellence. Champion a culture of technical excellence, intellectual curiosity, and operational discipline. Collaborate with cross-functional partners and other data leaders globally to align priorities, share learnings, and maintain org-wide consistency. Communicate insights, recommendations, and team progress clearly to senior leadership.

In-office expectations Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance
requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible. Pay and
benefits Stripe does not yet include pay ranges in job postings in every country. Stripe strongly values pay transparency and is working toward pay transparency globally.
