At Stripe, our Mexico City office is a vibrant hub at the forefront of our mission to reshape the financial landscape for businesses worldwide. Our team prioritizes collaboration, innovation, and excellence. As a member of the Mexico City team, you'll be part of a mission-driven community dedicated to enhancing the global economy and increasing the GDP of the internet.

What you’ll do

We are looking for a dynamic and forward-thinking leader with a passion for solving complex, global user issues, redefining what operational excellence looks like, and driving an AI-first culture. You will play a front-line role in helping some of Stripe's top users accelerate their growth and ensure an unmatched customer experience when dealing with Stripe.

In this role, you will recruit, manage, and develop a team of Operations Associates focused on user support. You will be responsible for driving team engagement and motivation through consistent feedback, coaching, mentoring, and advocacy within the organization. This includes developing and executing tactics that enable the team to reach its goals, using data and metrics to measure performance and continuously raise the bar. You'll be a strong fit if you have the grit to get things moving, a sharp operational mindset, and a genuine passion for developing the people around you.

Responsibilities

• Recruit, manage, coach, and develop a team of in-office Operations Associates
• Drive strong operational performance through operational rigor, process improvement, and hands-on coaching, balancing a strong users-first mindset with speed and innovation
• Cultivate a "what got us here will not get us there" mindset through continuous identification of process improvements and AI-first thinking
• Planning for the unplanned: apply a "see around the corners" approach to capacity management, ensuring strong oversight of volume and user trends while anticipating curveballs before they impact the user experience
• Own on-the-floor tactics as well as strategic initiatives to deliver on the Enterprise Roadmap
• Set clear goals and direction, and provide regular feedback on team members' performance
• Be data-driven in your analysis of performance and in your decision making
• Build an environment rooted in trust and transparency with the goal of creating a "talent hub" where people develop and thrive, representing a strong talent pipeline for the rest of the organization
• Be a role model at work and in life, inspiring your team and peers to do things smarter and aim higher
