Product Manager, LATAM

Stripe is a technology company that builds economic infrastructure for the internet. Businesses of all sizes—from new startups to public companies like Amazon and Salesforce—use our software to accept online payments and run technically sophisticated financial operations in more than 100 countries. By helping businesses accept payments from anywhere in the world and accelerating the economic shift from offline to online, we aim to increase the GDP of the internet.

About the role and the team

Many of the largest companies in the world now rely on Stripe for payments infrastructure: Facebook, Google, Amazon, Shopify, Atlassian, Slack, Lyft, Uber, DoorDash, Instacart, and the list is growing every day. Many of these companies are expanding into Latin America and looking for a partner to help them accelerate their growth in their region. At the same time, startups and established players in Mexico, Brazil and other latinamerican countries have seen tremendous growth in e-commerce and new business models and have aggressive growth plans. Stripe is well on its way to becoming a best-in-class software and infrastructure company serving the latinamerican market, and we want you to help complete that transformation.  

As a Product Manager in the LATAM Product and Engineering organization, you will be responsible for building APIs and products to extend Stripe’s Global Payments and Treasury Network (GPTN) platform. You will work closely with customers, partners, as well as Stripe teams like Connect, Issuing, Terminal, Billing, Radar and Capital, as well as our payment infrastructure teams that sit at the core of Stripe. You’ll be paired with engineering teams in San Francisco or Seattle, and will have the opportunity to collaborate with our global engineering teams in Dublin and Singapore.

Our ideal Product Manager has led technical products or large-scale platforms, has an extreme attention to detail, concisely communicates complex concepts, and is equally excited about 99.9999% reliability and financial correctness as well as beautiful product UX and API design.

At Stripe, Product Managers help build innovative payments products for our customers. Product development is a collaborative effort between engineering, design, analytics and customer-facing teams.

You will:

• Spend significant time with users (and user-facing teams) in Latin America and observe patterns/trends across their needs and the larger market
• Synthesize product solutions, bringing your unique product vision to the table – solving for “faster horse” problems typical in user feedback channels
• Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for new products serving the needs of users in Latin America – everything from supporting new payment methods, to integrating with local or regional partners, to launching new products that uniquely address the needs of users in the region

We’re looking for someone who has:

• 5+ years of experience in a product role
• Experience working on global products and markets
• Built products by collaborating across engineering, analytics, marketing, design and other key stakeholders
• Experience managing technical software products from kick-off to ship

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with a precise talent for articulating customer challenges
• English and Portuguese language fluency
• A computer science, math, or science degree, or similar experience

Nice to haves:

• Experience with payments-related products
• Experience working in Latin America
• Started or ran a business before
