About Stripe

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

Stripe's Finance Operations (FinOps) organisation delivers elegant financial services that are efficient, precise, and resilient—yielding a consistent, delightful experience grounded in controllership. Our service pillars span Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Travel & Expense, Payroll, and Monetization Operations, with a sixth function—FinOps Strategic Enablement—driving AI adoption, process excellence, and scalable infrastructure across all pillars.

Stripe's Bangalore Finance (BFin) hub is the largest concentration of FinOps and Controllership talent at Stripe and is central to our strategy of scaling financial services 10x without a proportional increase in cost or complexity. BFin houses teams responsible for:

Accounts Payable & Vendor Onboarding — end-to-end supplier invoice processing, payments, and vendor lifecycle management

Travel & Expense — T&E policy compliance, employee reimbursements, and corporate card management

Payroll — accurate, timely compensation for Stripe employees across APAC and EMEA

Monetization Operations — operationalising custom pricing and billing for Stripe's largest enterprise users

Controllership — BLR — accounts receivable support, bank account management, and entity-level financial controls

The Role

As Head of Finance Operations, Bangalore, you will own the strategic and operational leadership of the entire BFin organisation. You will manage a team of team leads and managers—each running a distinct FinOps pillar—and will be the senior operational voice for Stripe's finance hub in India.

This is a builder and operator role. You'll set direction, elevate your managers, improve processes, and build trust with global Finance leadership—all simultaneously. You'll have a direct line to the global Head of Finance Operations and be a key contributor to decisions that shape how Stripe's financial services scale.
