Deal Strategist

Stripe's Global Business Services (GBS) team is looking for a Deal Strategist to focus on the closure of custom and standard commercial deals. You will be responsible for deal lifecycle management and supporting cross-organizational alignment. This role requires a background in driving custom deals to closure, a strong understanding of pricing frameworks, and experience supporting sales through negotiations.

The candidate will have experience with SaaS products, pricing strategies, and supporting selling motions, along with strong communication skills. You will love this job if you are a natural relationship builder and process architect.

• Manage end-to-end customer deals—drafting, editing, and reviewing agreements—while supporting the sales cycle to ensure deal terms align with business goals, reflect strategic priorities, and close as forecasted.
• Act as the primary point of contact between Sales, Legal, and other cross-functional stakeholders for deal-related questions, approvals, and escalations.
• Work directly with sales teams, sales leaders, services/support teams, and customers to advise on deal structures, establish compelling commercials, and drive resolution of customer issues.
• Advise sales teams on the best approach by understanding customer and partner requirements, while balancing custom terms with internal system constraints.
• Remove internal blockers and drive alignment across cross-functional teams including Product, Legal, Finance, and Accounting.
• Support complex negotiations involving bespoke commercial and legal agreements.
• Support the pricing and structuring of multi-threaded product use cases in all segments and industries, especially in highly competitive sales cycles.
• Quickly build credibility and trust with internal stakeholders.
• Demonstrate strong communication and persuasion skills when working with cross-functional partners and senior leaders.
