About the team
Specialist Solutions Architects (SSAs) are domain experts aligned to Stripe’s solutions and the customer buying centers they serve. We combine deep product and industry expertise with an understanding of our customers’ most complex business and technical challenges.
The SSA team partners with specialist sellers and the broader pre-sales organization to shape strategic opportunities, develop pipeline, improve revenue attainment, and turn Stripe’s product capabilities into measurable customer outcomes. We also bring field insights to Product and Engineering, helping influence Stripe’s roadmap and go-to-market strategy.
What you'll do
As Head of Specialist Solutions Architecture for Revenue in the Americas, you will lead the regional strategy, execution, and growth of the SSA organization supporting Stripe’s Revenue Suite. You will define how Stripe engages customers around billing, monetization, and revenue management—from initial business and technical discovery through solution design, adoption, value realization, and expansion.
You will build and develop a high-performing team of specialist architects and create the operating model, playbooks, and cross-functional partnerships needed to scale the organization. Working closely with Sales, Marketing, Alliances, Professional Services, Support, Product, and Engineering, you will help customers modernize their revenue infrastructure while accelerating adoption and growth for Stripe’s Revenue Suite across the United States, Canada, and Latin America.
This is an opportunity to shape a growing regional function at an important point in Stripe’s expansion beyond payments. You will connect deep technical expertise to customer value and commercial outcomes while ensuring that the needs of AMER customers influence Stripe’s global product and go-to-market direction.
