Product Manager, Accounting Products

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach while doing the most important work of your career.

Stripe’s Accounting Products team is building modern infrastructure for the Office of the CFO. Our vision is to give finance teams, and the agents that support them, one reconciled and explainable presentation of financial truth. Today, the data and context required to make accounting decisions are fragmented across billing systems, contracts, spreadsheets, general ledgers, and the minds of the people doing the work.

Finance teams spend significant time reconstructing what happened, determining the appropriate accounting treatment, reconciling results, and gathering evidence. Giving an agent access to the underlying data is not enough: it also needs the business context, accounting policies, approved judgments, and guardrails required to act reliably. Revenue Recognition is our first major proof point. Stripe has a unique opportunity to help Billing and Metronome users turn complex revenue activity—including usage-based pricing, minimum commitments, credits, and contract modifications—into accurate, explainable journal entries.

Our ambition is for agents to take on the investigation, configuration, and repetitive work while accountants retain control over consequential judgments and approvals. Over time, we expect to expand into additional Office of the CFO workflows, and we are looking for a Staff Product Manager to help turn this vision into products that finance teams trust. This is a senior individual contributor role with significant ownership, autonomy, and influence across Product, Engineering, Design, Finance, Data Science, and Go-to-Market teams.
