About the team

The Renewals Team is a strategic partner to Stripe's Sales organization, helping Stripe retain and expand revenue from its portfolio of existing users. We bring analytical rigor, commercial judgment, and operational discipline to the renewal process so account teams can navigate complex decisions with clarity, accuracy, and speed.

We work closely with Sales, Deal Pricing, Deal Strategy, Customer Success and other cross-functional partners throughout the renewal lifecycle. The team analyzes account performance and contractual history, builds renewal scenarios, and develops recommendations that inform deal strategy and negotiation planning led by Account Executives. We also improve the systems and processes that enable Stripe to manage renewals at scale.

What you’ll do

As a Renewals Specialist, you will partner with account teams and cross-functional stakeholders to protect and grow Stripe's revenue. This is an analytical role at its core. You will combine quantitative analysis and financial modeling with user context to assess renewal options, identify risks and opportunities, and help teams make well-supported commercial decisions.

You will work on large, complex renewals, balancing the needs of Stripe and our users while helping account teams move deals forward on schedule. Success requires strong judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to build trusted relationships across teams. You should be comfortable operating in ambiguity, respectfully challenging assumptions, and engaging in constructive debate to reach better outcomes. You will also help design scalable processes so the team can handle fluctuating volumes while maintaining a high standard of operational excellence.
