Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead.

About The Team
Specialist Solutions Architects (SSA) are domain experts aligned to specific Stripe solutions and customer buying centers. We have in-depth knowledge of specific solution offerings and a deep understanding of customer challenges. We align with specialist product sellers on deals, advise the broader pre-sales team on complex opportunities, support pipeline development and revenue attainment, serve as an advisor on go-to-market sales plays, and provide critical insights to our product and engineering teams.
What You'll Do
You will collaborate closely with sales and pre-sales teams to drive pipeline and revenue targets, while also educating the product and engineering teams on market trends and strongly influencing the product roadmap. You will develop deep relationships with senior customer business leaders and grow Stripe's solution offerings with new and existing customers. As a subject matter expert, you will scale the broader organization by creating reusable assets and coaching others on complex, high-value opportunities. As a Specialist Solutions Architect for Money Management, you will lead in-depth product discussions with Stripe's top users and prospects and execute against our go-to-market strategy for Stripe Capital, Issuing, Financial Accounts, and our global Payouts suite. You will help users understand how these products combine to create a compounding embedded finance platform—enabling them to build card programs, hold and move funds globally, and offer financing options that increase user stickiness and unlock new revenue streams.
