GBS’s priorities are set through the direction of Stripe leadership and executive vision, partnership with sales and cross-functional organizations. This role sits within Global Business Practices’ Business Practices team, responsible for establishing, managing, and improving policies and processes to improve deal quality and velocity for Stripe.
