Who we are
About Stripe

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.
About the team

The Startup SaaS Platform team works with European startups in one of Stripe's must-win segments. At Stripe, SaaS platforms are companies using Stripe to embed payments and make financial services a core part of their own product, meaning their partnership with Stripe is vital to the success of their business, like Shopify, Mindbody and Lightspeed.

Saas platforms are a global priority for Stripe, and our team identifies and develops Stripe's future strategic accounts in Europe. We identify and partner with high-potential companies, helping them leverage Stripe's solutions to better support their users, scale globally and create new revenue streams through monetisation of payments and financial services.
