Project Manager, Global Expansion

Role: Project Manager, Global Expansion

Own the people-side project execution for Stripe’s most complex global moves, including new entity formation, geographic expansion, and M&A integrations.

What you’ll do

• Lead end-to-end project management for entity employment readiness: intake/scoping, requirements gathering, readiness gates, cross-functional approvals, and go-live + post-go-live handoffs to People, Legal, and Finance.
• Drive communications and change management across the entire entity lifecycle, ensuring employees and stakeholders receive the right information ahead of system cutovers.
• Coordinate entity-related workstreams in M&A integrations, including adviser support on retain/merge/wind-down decisions, employer-of-record transitions, and alignment of entity timelines to broader deal plans.
• Act as the primary coordination point across People functions (Total Rewards, People Systems, People Operations) and cross-functional partners (Payroll, Tax, Legal, Finance & Strategy, Treasury), aligning workstreams and holding accountability to timelines.
• Anticipate and manage full downstream implications of entity lifecycle events by surfacing dependencies, resolving blockers, and escalating as needed.
• Build and improve scalable project/program infrastructure: intake forms, project plan templates, handoff checklists, SOPs/playbooks by jurisdiction, compliance trackers, and retrospectives to continuously refine processes.

Responsibilities / scope

• High-leverage 0→1 program building where systems, policy, and operations intersect.
