Who we are 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.
What you'll do As an Account Executive on the Startup SaaS Platforms team, you will be instrumental in driving Stripe's future growth. Your role will involve partnering with both prospective and existing SaaS platforms, guiding them to understand how Stripe's modern financial infrastructure can support their growth ambitions and provide a competitive edge for their business or product.
Responsibilities Represent the EMEA startup saas platform team for both prospective and existing users in BeNeLux and the Nordics. Understand users' pain points and our value to SaaS platform clients, in order to propose solutions and consult on their growth in service of mutual progress. Identify high-potential new users from inbound leads, outbound prospecting and market knowledge, alongside cross-functional partners in marketing and sales development. Bring new clients through evaluations of Stripe's solutions for Saas platforms, working with cross-functional teams to successfully follow new clients through to activation and adoption. Develop programmes for driving product adoption among our existing user base, promoting upsell and client retention at scale. Solve complex client needs and work across product, sales, risk, and operations teams. Work with the other cross-functional teams on shared initiatives to drive internal efficiency. Who you are We're looking for a curious, well-rounded strategic seller who can build strong relationships with Stripe's clients in this key segment. You are comfortable owning your territory, balancing a mix of high value, strategic deals with smaller, high velocity deal cycles.
We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
Minimum requirements 3+ years of experience in a client-facing/closing sales role. Ability to understand complex technical ecosystems. Desire to build great relationships, often with technical customers. Analytical ability to manage complex sales cycles. Experience managing projects with input from cross-functional teams. A knack for seeking out and working well with a wide range of stakeholders, both internally and externally. Motivation to operate in a highly ambiguous and fluid environment. Superior verbal and written communication skills in English and Dutch. Preferred requirements Prior experience in a sales and/or customer-facing role at a high growth technology company. Experience with Excel and SQL, or a willingness to learn. Comfort interpreting and discussing API-first solutions. Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.
